Ice Cream (Part 2) (Patreon)

As I mentioned before, these ice cream aliens need mechs to survive, or else they'll melt.  For this new character, I'd have to design a mech too.  I experimented with a bunch of ideas until I started gravitating towards a bowl-like design.  Thing is, I was stuck creating iteration after iteration with no end in sight.  At the time, I still hadn't developed the character enough to know what her mech should do.  Is she a fighter?  Does her mech need weapons?  Is she a traveler?  Should her mech be able to carry a lot of stuff?  What sort of stuff?  I just didn't know enough about her yet to make any of these decisions.  I had to take a step back and figure out who this character is, what she does, and what she wants.
