FINALLY. NEWGROUNDS GETS TO SEE THE SPOOKY SMILEY CAT THEMSELF! :D

This right here is Smiler, one of the characters from my short story series, "Ride Souls". They're a Cheshire Cat capable of invisibility, hypnosis and being spooky to those that are easily spooked (if that counts as an ability). They mainly hang around by the forest part of the realm. Hiding up in the trees until someone were to end up lost in there, to then reveal themself to that unsuspecting someone and either confuse that person with Smiler's "logic" or to just scare them away with their spiralling eyes. They're actually pretty harmless despite the hypnosis, and even then it only can put someone to sleep or make them see things that aren't real, almost like living in a dream in a sense. They tend to rely on fear and if someone is actually scared of them to be extra spooky, if not, they'll probably act annoying knowing Smiler.

If you can't already tell, "Ride Souls" is inspired from those old bronze/silver age Disney films, so think the likes of "Alice in Wonderland", "Robin Hood", "Dumbo", all of those. I really wanted to show that in Smiler's updated design :D Obviously, they're based off of the Cheshire Cat from 1951 Alice in Wonderland. He's my favourite character, he's just so fun and cool :] Not only that, but remember my Alton Towers AU I made with my OCs Bex, Silly and Stacy? Yeah, Ride Souls exists BECAUSE of Alton Towers. I made this WAYYYYYYY before TMM, which will explain why so much of the characters are inspired from/ have names linked to the rides at Alton Towers. I can't wait to talking more about this, but yeah, if you wanna see more I have a LOT more stuff about RS on my DA alongside some short stories I've posted :]

(also please please PLEASE I beg of yall to not be weird about Smiler or any of my characters, but SMILER ESPECIALLY. I'm aware that their main ability is an um, interest, to certain individuals online. So just respect my boundaries and not be weird about them <:] )
