I'm at a loss, would love some suggestions!

Here she is! Currently zapping hoping for inspiration, haha.

full disclosure: I've never been to LA (or anywhere in Cali except for San Francisco), but it makes me think either beachy or glamorous :D So here are my random ideas:

Nostalgic Fester (looks kind of grumpy though)

Scribble Fester (reminds me of graffiti and I don't know if they skateboard in LA but maybe? lol)

Spectrum (or blacklight) Clawsion (got sort of a movie star pose)

Exp. 2759 (very glamorous!)

Some of the Reborn pets have that sort of glamorous look, but most of them also like like they're about to fight me lol. Not sure if that's what you'd want to go for. The Torrey looks pretty fabulous though:

Then of course, you could always go Angel for the name Angeleno/Angeles. The Legeica has the sort of pose I'm thinking of.

OR Galactic for "stars" for Hollywood. haha so many possibilities!

@ samm my initial thought was something steamwork or arid because of the smog lmao but i'm not sure which would make sense -- i was thinking of the getty or the disney concert hall but those are too modern for steamwork pet inspo. steamwork pets remind me of the bradbury building, tho, so maybe a steamwork lain or irion, or maybe even the neela? (hey, LA's expensive)

SPOILER (click to toggle)

if you want to go the native fauna route, i think mostly we hear about bears (anyu), mountain lions (tigrean, i guess?), and coyotes (jollin is close enough, i suppose). (seals/sealions too, but i don't think we have a good match for those.) LA does have some nice parks and greenspace so i would also consider glade and if you wanted beachy, maybe hydrus?

otherwise i'd vote for the nostalgic fester because it's cute, or something reborn because fire season haha :dmg🔥

e/ also maybe consider giving her burritos and also a hamburger + fries 'cause in-n-out ;w;

thanks so much for the ideas!! tbh I've been thinking about the hydrus legeica that just got released, it's so pretty and snooty and vaguely beachy

I'm in looooove with the 2759 so that's a possibility! And I appreciate all your suggestions! (:

YES IN N OUT I ALMOST FORGOT THANK YOU and those are also great things to consider! thanks!!

ooh, the legeica would be a good choice! i'm excited to see what you end up deciding on w
