LATEST UPDATE LINKED HERE!

Hi there! I decided to recreate the October 16th, 2015 Raffle Lioness. She's my first birthday RL (I have 2, but this one died without a clone, and her one daughter died without children), and I'm also somewhat of a masochist.

This is her!


Now, here is the issue: some of her marks are INCREDIBLY RARE/UNAVAILABLE to buy/breed for. As in, even though there may be a few lions alive with the marks, there may only be one person active who has them. Seriously.

Also her base is Pearl, which is so expensive to buy. Just yeet me now.

Her traits and the presumed rarity (sorry it's not neat/pretty, I'm copying this from my journal with minimal editing):

BO traits:
-Slot 2 (IMPOSSIBLE?? Swap for either red, tangor, chert, or briar panther)
-Slot 3 - OBTAINED
-Slot 5 - OBTAINED
-Slot 8 - OBTAINED
-Slot 9 - OBTAINED
-Slot 10 - OBTAINED
-Skin (butterfly - easy to get)
-Pearl base - So expensive, oof

App traits:
-Eyes (Crystal - swap for hetero blue/ice?)
-Mane (Sideward - swap for Savage?)
-Mane color (Silver - swap for Platinum or other BO mane?)
-S1, S4, S6, S7 (piety - OBTAINED 1)

Thankfully, half her traits are app ones, including one piety mark. However, there are two marks that I'm thinking of switching for breed only marks. I am also thinking of giving her more breed only traits, like swapping her applicator eyes (crystal) for breed only ones (Hetero Blue & Ice).

Below, you can see her original looks next to my thoughts for a modification (similar, but more visually interesting, and a bit easier to breed for the markings. Ignore the incorrect mane on the original looks screenshot):


For this project, input, lion hunting, and encouragement are desired. I have never done this before, so I'll definitely need all the help I can get.

I am also still not sure if I should try and modify her! So input on that is welcomed! Thanks for reading and following along on this project
