Appearance:

Schimmer is a handsome and very colourful Amur tiger with distinct Madagascan sunset moth features, like the gorgeous sparking wings, colour palette, antennas and neck fluff. His fur colour is a beautiful gradient with shades of blue, teal, green, orange, red, and occasional white parts in between, extending from his head to his tail. His chest fluff, snout, paws and tail tip are white. The former is entirely white and particularly fluffy. His body is adorned with pretty black and partly white tiger stripes, and diamond-like patterns can be observed on his forehead and shoulders. His wings bear the same colours and a black stripe pattern. They are extremely shimmering and luminous. Furthermore, there is a small area with a purple and pink stripe pattern on his wings and hind legs. Some simple small black and white spots are scattered randomly on his whole body including his wings. Most of them can be found on his legs and paws. Schimmer has black ears and their inside is light orange. He has cute antennas, which are black in colour and pretty thin. His eyes are very colourful as well, both eyes share the same colours: Yellow, orange and pink with purple pupils.

Abilities:

  • Thanks to his gorgeous moth-like wings Schimmer is able to fly, and that pretty high and far. He struggles to fly in the rain though, since his wings must not get too wet

  • Schimmer's wonderful wings always leave a temporary sparkling trail of colourful glitter behind. Additionally, he is able to generate permanent glitter with the help of his beautiful wings, which is very colourful and sparkling and loved by many

  • He can produce and emit light form his whole body. That way he can lighten up the night in many different colours. This process requires quite a lot of magical energy though

  • He is able to track down and even communicate with other moths, moth-like beings or caterpillars using his antennae

  • Thanks to his special magical abilities, he is able to consume the nectar of flowers. During this process, he always ensures that the flowers are pollinated. He has a preference for the nectar of white flowers and consumes almost exclusively their nectar

  • As already mentioned, Schimmer has a hard time flying while being exposed to rain or water in general due to his wings getting wet

  • He is generally considered to be rather hydrophobic and cannot swim very well. Therefore, he prefers to stay away from large bodies of water

  • His sparkling glitter trail cannot simply be "stopped". This makes it difficult for him to hide for example

  • Schimmer is a little peacocky which means that he doesn't like getting dirty or having his fur tousled. However, his wings are his greatest weakness, they must not get dirty under any circumstances, as they mean a lot to him

  • There are occasions where he can be quite picky, for example, he prefers the nectar of white flowers or only eats the freshest fruits or nuts

  • Getting dirty, especially when his wings are concerned

  • When his loved ones, especially his girlfriend Falena are in danger or being treated poorly

  • Rain, it's very difficult for him to fly while it's raining

  • Larger bodies of water

  • The lack of platonic physical closeness, such as cuddling or hugging

  • Winter, because of the lack of flowers

 

Further Information:

He is very much in love with his dear girlfriend Falena which he had met on a wonderful autumn day in the forest as he was taking a relaxing stroll through the woods. It was love at first sight and shortly after, they became a love couple. He also gets along very well with Sylvi, Nippy, Felipix, Melino and many more.
