Also I Could Talk For A While Abt Every Design Choice I Made For Her - Tumblr Posts

I've been so inspired by all the beautiful jedi ocs I've seen on here, that I finally worked up the courage to show off one of mine.

Imyr sprung from a rabbit hole I fell into where I somehow ended up at a tutorial on basic Arnis drills. That just sort of made me go. huh... that could totally be a lightsaber form

Anyways, yep, she's a Cathar Jedi Master. Her design is inspired by Jaguars and my fascination with Jedi clothing, (and this amazing post by gffa). I was playing with more traditional Japanese clothing (like a hakama) alongside interpretations of those clothes (like in anime). The reason why I ended up choosing to veer her away from a more traditional look is because I wanted to show a bit of her character that way.

Taking Inspiration from the jaguar motif, I wanted to establish her as a more solitary Jedi. As a species, Imyr is an ambush predator, which lends well for patience and hunting, but not so well with taking a hit she knows is coming. I've read a couple of interesting Ahsoka pieces that explore the perceptions put on her and her own struggles with being a predator in a universe largely dominated by (near) humans. But even with these struggles, Imyr is still a Jedi and wants to be one. This is why her clothing does have the typical Jedi inspiration, just with added individuality to express the simultaneous connection/disconnection she feels.

This sort of ran away from me but she's just my special girl.
