2023年时，我的创作能力已基本恢复并有所发展。我从设计灵狐阿幸的过程中得到启发，奠定了千变灵兽的设计思路，按照这个思路我设计了雷婷、秋叶、明珠三位角色。同时，我也为理碧找到了合适的角色——主角三人的班主任。理碧的班是“生态实验班”，以便她发挥植物学特长。

千变灵兽中的灵兽角色通常有兽人、人类和动物三种形态。2024 年，我根据这一标准为理碧设计了她在千变灵兽中的第一版造型。这次的理碧在身体比例和气质上已基本到位，与 2025 年最终版相比，概念几乎完全一致，仅在表现力上有所不同。

By 2023, my art skills had largely recovered from the aforementioned creative slump and even improved. The design process of Sachi the Spirit Fox inspired me to establish the concept framework for Spirit Animals in Disguise. Using this framework, I created Leiting, Qiuye, and Mingzhu as the main characters. Libbie was chosen as the head teacher of an experimental class for Ecology Education where these kids study, allowing her to showcase her botany expertise.

Spirit animal characters in Spirit Animals in Disguise have three forms: anthro, human, and animal. In 2024, I created the first version of Libbie’s three forms, successfully capturing her personality and desired body proportions. While the underlying concept remains unchanged compared to the final 2025 version, the execution quality differs.
