MINE

This is the next in a series of characters that I am making for a customer that come from the various Kirby Games. Mine is a character in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Dream Land 3. Mine looks like a more feminine version of her husband, Kine. She has pink skin with rosy cheeks rather than blue and has bigger pupils. Mine's orange fins are rounded at the end, and she has smaller lips than Kine.
