Introducing: the geska!

Geskas are intelligent creatures that each have their own individual "shadow buddy" that usually takes on the form of an animal with two horns. Only they can see and communicate with their shadow buddy. Shadow buddies can be any animal, but cannot switch forms. Shadow buddies can also possess their geska host.

Geskas also have a necklace with a silver chain (the silver chain is hard to see in the drawing bc of the fur color ;-;) that has their life crystal. Their life crystal is basically what the name says — the crystal that keeps them alive. The only way to kill a geska is to destroy the crystal. If you steal a geska's crystal/necklace, that geska is forced to forever serve you. The life crystals can be any shape or color. The shape and color of the life crystal determines these things:
     -The eyes of the shadow buddy
     -The outline of the shadow buddy
     -The color of the geska's fur, eyes, horns, and wings
     -The marking on the geska's back
     -The shape of the geska's nose

Geskas have four ears — two big, two small. The small ears are the lighter shade of the crystal's color, and the big ears are the color of the crystal.

The patterns on a geska's fur are often similar to those of other geskas. The main way to tell them apart is by their life crystal or the markings on their back.

Only females have the thick, black line on the top of their eyes, but both males and females have the black triangle behind their eyes.

This is a CLOSED species that can be acquired through adoption, trades, prizes, or if I offer one to you.

If I offer one to you, you can tell me the color and shape of the life crystal, the animal you want the shadow buddy to be, the gender of the geska, and the gender of the shadow buddy. I will draw your geska from this information.
