I used the Cell parts in Creature editor mod to give her cell stage “Beady Eyes”, without having to switch between the Early Creature and regular Creature editors mid-creation. I think it gives a cute, cartoony look, even if the eye color is wrong. I highly recommend this mod, even if you otherwise prefer to never use mods in games.

The pendant is actually a creature part (the “Mackne” detail part) stacked on top of a Civilization outfitter part (the “Eril Medallion”). This would not be possible for me to pull off without having installed a mod that makes both types of parts accessible in a single editor, but the game itself doesn’t consider the creature to be modded. Just be careful with the pendant - if you take it off, you won’t be able to easily get the “Macne” gemstone back without mods.

• There’s actually also a cell stage “Electric” part hidden inside her pendant, as well. This will only be relevant for Galactic Adventures, but I did this because it will cause the pendant to give off flashing lights when she uses the “Charm” social! I thought it was cute. The part is shrunken to its minimum possible size via Cell parts Xtended. I also highly recommend this mod for everyday playing. 
• If you add a Mackne crystal (or a different crystal part) to the Creature Stage version yourself, it will be the same red color as the Macne crystal on the Civilization Stage version.

(And yes, I used lv3 frog freet instead of the duck-like lv1 bird feet. Bird feet don't grant the ability to dance in this game, and letting her dance is important, okay? Also, I think they fit better with how toy-like and chibi she is.)

I also used the ForceSave mod to create a third version, which can’t be saved in the editor without mods, but can be encountered as an NPC species in Creature stage without issue. You can also see the flashing pendant in action in this version! Download this version below.
