.:Character Theft?:.

!!Disclaimer!! I am not trying to make this a big deal. Do not go and witch hunt her.

So I've been accused of character theft. They said that my character Pipib ( mochichino.deviantart.com/art/… )
Is a copy/remake of another character named Piki ( o0fluffpuff0o.deviantart.com/a… ). Now since I've just done some research and got other peoples opinions on it, I know what I'm getting myself into.

Similarities:
*Design wise
~They are both furries
~They both have no arms
~They both have a light tone to them
~They both have things around their necks

*Why I put those things in Pipib
~I wanted to remake my old furry oc Chillyx because her design was too complicated for me to draw over and over again. Chillyx is in the right corner of this page: mochichino.deviantart.com/art/… . As you can see, she has no arms, which brings me to my next point. The other reason Pipib has no arms is because I hate drawing arms. Not really the best decision on making a character, but Pip does use their ears (shown in a pic that hasn't been uploaded during this time). The next similarity is that they're both light in colour. I have a thing with colour palettes on them (I might post for future references). I got those colour palettes DURING school and almost 2 weeks ago. I just happened to choose a palette similar to Piki. And lastly the necks. Okay... I have had fursona/persona wearing a scarf since I was sycopikaboo . I have a favourite scarf that Pip's was based off of. It's turquoise with light turquoise and the ends are all braided. That scarf used to be on Syd. That's also why Mochi and chillyx have worn scarves.

*Description wise
~They're names are alike
~They both go as "they"
~Both like a type of pasta
~Both Like fluffy things
~Were posted around the same time

*Why these are similar
~Pipib's original name was PipPip because one of my favourite names is Phillip (thanks Hamilton..), but the problem was that I already have a character named Phillip so I changed their name to Pipib. The only thing similar about their names is that they both start with "P" and "I" (the pronunciation might be similar, pronounce Pipib "Pip-ib" and Piki "P-ee-k-ee")
~I'm gender neutral
~I like fluffy things idk what else to say, it's not a rare liking
~It might've been POSTED after the other one was posted, but who says the idea wasn't thought of before they posted it. Okay, I'm just saying, I started working on Pipib during school. And let's say that Pipib took me an hour to make (what the other person said about them), but thing is, that hour would've been spread out through the day or though DAYS. Pipib could've been sketched out right before I lost my tablet. I'm not saying it was, but don't assume things. Also if you guys don't know, a picture that seems like it took like 2 hours probably lasted me around 6 hours, especially on a school day. I cannot keep drawing a picture for long without losing interest. I literally can't. And that's why when I'm absent for a while, I always post like... 10 pics when I'm back because I switch back and forth between pics. (Also just saying, Pip has been a character in my head for a while)

Omg I'm so sorry for whoever read ALL of that, but I needed to get that out. There is no way I'm taking Pip down because this argument is worthless. If you guys want to add anything to this, feel free too <3
