In this scene from [personal profile] aldersprig's series Addergoole Aelgifu (Ayla), a hitherto unusually named, but otherwise normal human, leans on her lover, Ioanna for support when she finds herself with rabbit ears, bunny feet, and goatlike horns after her Change.

Ayla has just gone through her Change, getting rabbit ears, bunny feet, and horns. She leans against Ioanna, her lover, for emotional and physical support, touching her ears and horns.

Huh, according to Wikipedia rabbits are digitigrade, but according to my observations of two pet rabbits their hind feet, at least, are plantigrade--that is, they bend a lot when moving, but so do human feet. Certainly their default not-moving state involves back feet flat on the ground (unlike cats and dogs... but rabbits only have a "moving" and "sitting," no "standing" like cats and dogs have).

Hmm, now that you mention it, that makes sense. Rabbits do also have a "stand up" pose where they rest their back feet flat on the ground and stretch upwards -- it lets them see over grass.

I don't think of that as "standing up," at least not in the same way that cats and dogs stand up on all four paws--that's just on the back paws. But like you said, the back feet are flat on the ground. (Some of my cats do that too, but they look more like meerkats than rabbits.)

Ayla is plantigrade. I blame her father.

*grins* whether or not rabbit girls would be plantigrade, I don't know, but she's officially a jackelope-girl anyway. ;-)

right now, all she has is teeny tiny buds.

I think she's actually going to be an actual jackrabbit/antelope cross.

No he doesn't, he rides a freaking motorcycle. I am trying to figure out what it is about Aelfgar that makes Ayla have plantigrade feet XD

Weird genes?

I dunno, I decided she had flat feet and figured it had to be Aelfgar's fault.

Wiki says Marienne; according to the family tree, that's as far as I got with her (i.e., Marienne isn't related to anyone else).
