Valentines gift art I made for [iconname]floppy[/iconname].
Recently Floppy has decided to go by the name swiftpawrabbit, based on Swiftheart Rabbit from the Care Bears. I wanted to have a character that could be paired with him. At first I tried to pick another Care Bear Cousin that I thought would be a good fit. I fixated on Proudheart Cat and Brightheart Raccoon, as good candidates, but ultimately could not decide between them.
I eventually settled on the idea of creating a Care Bear Cousin of my own. Thus, Pureheart was born.
Pureheart is a red squirrel marked by his curiosity, honesty, intensity, and child-like simplicity. His belly badge is a heart with a sword going through it, symbolizing, getting to the heart of things (the inner heart), and also a willingness to be honest to a fault. It also represents the ability to make sacrifices and be vulnerable and trusting with the ones he loves. Pureheart teaches that a child-like heart not made complicated by fears, greed, and doubt, is the purest kind of heart and is to be nurtured and treasured.
In moments of grave danger Pureheart can pull out the "Pureheart Sword" from his belly badge, which is dipped in "golden blood" and can be used to protect those he loves.
In this setting Pureheart Squirrel is the 12th and final Care Bear Cousin. The other 11 being:
Proudheart Lion
Brightheart Raccoon
Swiftheart Rabbit
Proudheart Cat
Loyalheart Dog
Lotsaheart Elephant
Gentleheart Lamb
Cozyheart Penguin
Nobleheart Horse
Playfulheart Monkey
Treatheart Pig
