My teen Buttercup design. Originally, I meant it to be a set of 3, but I couldn’t get Blossom and Bubbles to look right proportionally. (The PPG are deceptively simple in design) In my AU, Buttercup is Native American, Bubbles is Black, and Blossom is white because I don’t think “the perfect little girl” should just be represented as white.
