So uh, to address the elephant in the room: "What's with the new name?"

I've honestly wanted to rebrand for some time now, though I've only mentioned the idea to a very small group of people. I didn't have a problem with my old name really, but I wanted to change it anyway. Along with the name I figured I'd have a new design too. [Also if you've drawn me before this redesign, it's completely alright. Just draw me in this design from now on].

"So what do I call you?"

I'd prefer to be called "Hope" or "Phoenix", even if you knew me well when I was still "Stripes." It's probably weird and will need getting use to it but please call by my preferred name or you can make your own nickname for me if you want.

Uh yeah, that's all I got lol. [Oh yeah it's also my birthday, I'm old now-]
