The Evolution of Cheetah-Girl

Hey folks!

So here's my latest piece o' work.
Okay, you might hate me for this, but I'm saying it again: In 5th grade - that is at the age of 11/12 - I started to invent a fanfiction and character based on the anime Sailor Moon. My friends and I sort of wanted to combine it with cats, so our Sailor Soldiers had cat-names. Besides my friend's charas: Leopard-Girl, Tiger-Girl and Panther-Girl, I chose the Cheetah as my cat-form. Now don't blame me, cause at the time my knowledge of the English language was limited, so instead of calling her Cheetah-Girl, I called her Gepard-Girl (Gepard being the german name for cheetah). I found out some years later that the actual word was Cheetah, but didn't use it until with my latest versions, because I was afraid my friends would laugh at me cause Cheetah sounds just like Chita (the monkey from Tarzan)... as it turns out: a stupid thought, cause they don't know the old tarzan-films... but I didn't know that.

As you can see, my character underwent some serious changes during the time.
First of all, you know how it is with girls: There's always this stuff everyone's gotta have: With us, it was the Element Water. We all had it, or wanted to have it. And cause Blue was the coolest of colours, all our costumes were containing a good amount of it.
Especially the second form from the right, Gepard-Girl of the outer senshi, is COVERED in it. Funny thing: My friends at some point decided to banish me from the inner circle, mostly because of one of the rows we had over who copied whom doing what... but also I guess, cause of a question of coolness, that I certainly did not have. After that, to them I became an evil senshi whom they fought - Gepard of Death - whilst I spent some quality time with Puma (Mountain lion)-Girl and Jaguar-Girl, senshis from the outer circle. It was during that time, that my chara wore the blue uniform.
BUT I was re-integrated into the inner senshis. Therefore, I went sort of back to the old form, with slight modifications. Gepard-Girl now had some accesoires of a SUPER senshi. (which we all had at that point)
You may realise that the first 5 of my versions all have blond hair, and 4 of them blue eyes. That was just a matter of fashion. I used to have blond hair, even if not that light and shiny, but I've always had green eyes. It just wasn't custom at that time to really match oneselve's look to the warrior one represented.
But as you can see in version 3: Sailor Gepard, I tried to at least make her a little like me - hence the shorter hair. Uncharacteristically, Sailor Gepard also carried a mirror instead of a cepter at that period. A hint of influence of Sailor Neptune, who then was my favourite senshi (other then that it was always Saturn(see cepter))
After Sailor Gepard, there was a long pause, in which I did not proceed my Sailor-Story for years!!! Then... in year 9 or 10 I guess, Tiger-Girl had the idea of reviving her character for a last make-over. And of course hence we all did. You can see Eternal Sailor Gepard as a result of that. Her outfit is more like Eternal Sailor Moon... her hair looks stupid, and on a whole she really reminds me of a barbie-doll...
Which is why I changed her altogether once more: Into Cheetah-Girl! And you know her. I also decided then that we would all be mature enough not to associate Cheetah with Chita. And so Cheetah-Girl was "born". I also added Cheetah-Girl2, cause she is really the last form there'll ever be of Cheetah-Girl. Ever. Scouts-Honour...

Okay, I hope this upload works and you'll enjoy her. Please comment, criticise or tell me whatever you like! ^.^

I love cheetahs, my character is a cheetah and randomly searching I found this! Awesome job there! quite an evolution! the second one from left to right is the one with most changes, my favorite is actually the third one (left to right) its quite similar to the first but I actually like her without the mask on. ^__^ again good job!!
