The butterfly is a gen 2 for my setting and the jester is a redesign of my gen 1. Wanted the sleeve design to slowly turn into the actual claw arms instead of having that as the default and went with a slightly cuter design for the first two stages.
The butterfly is slightly based on a game character. It's whole premise is that it can see glimpses of the future and cries over the outcomes it can't stop. In its last Evo it basically has come to terms with the inevitable futures and secludes itself to avoid using its future sight in regards to a companion and possibly seeing a bad future. Possibly will make it have some connection to royalty wanting them for it's beauty and abilities.
The jester evo line are just silly lil guys slowly turning more sinister. Probably will redesign the last evolution again since I'm not super satisfied (plus I was mostly going off memory since I can't remember where I put the og drawing).
