------------------------------------

I actually like Merle's character despite her being annoying at times 

'coz i also ship for van x hitomi okay XD

The thing here is she's only 13 yrs.old not to mention that she's a cat girl

so the real deal here is that I must achieve here cat-ish and youthful look without over doing the make-up

yes~ I am a no pro with cosmetics but let's see the end product LOL

[RAW PHOTOS]

That Merle-ish pose

"Oh! Hai tharr!"

"This thing is soooo shiny."

"I think I saw a fly?!"
