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", if you knew me well when I was still "Stripes" you can call me that, [This opinion might change over time as I might consider Stripes to be a dead name in the future. Reason why it isn't currently is because I'm also getting used to my new identity] but I'd prefer either of my new names. 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-]
