Tiers affect the physical appearance and design traits of Yenomi. There are currently four tiers: Starburst, Organic, Magic & Magic-Organic. Adult Yenomi can also attain Blessed traits (though 'Blessed' is not a tier, but just a general adjective used to describe a Yenomi that has one or more Blessed traits.)

Starburst yenomi are the first developmental stage of a yenomi, while the other three tiers (Organic, Magic, and Magic-Organic) are adult Yenomi tiers.

Overall we encourage creativity and thinking outside the box with Yenomi designs! As long as your Yenomi meets these criteria, pretty much anything goes.

Braid accessories are generally flowers, you can design how you want.

Doers rather than thinkers, and are very good at practical tasks such as growing herbs, gathering and storing food, and making dwellings and tools. They have a strong bond with the natural world such as plants and flowers, as well as other living creatures. They tend to explore and gather knowledge through experimentation and trial.

Magic Yenomi have high proficiency with magic, and use this to perform tasks such as healing, creating art, and producing charms and spells to protect or aid their society. They have an understanding of the spirits in the world around them, and the stars. They tend to be thoughtful and cautious, and like to document their knowledge.


Any combination of Magic or Organic traits is possible in a Magic-Organic yenomi.

Blessed Yenomi

Blessed Yenomi are Yenomi that have one or more Blessed traits! All Yenomi from every tier (excluding Starbursts) can attain a Blessed trait. They may be blessed directly from a goddess, or they can attain enough Wishing Stars to exchange for a Blessed trait.

Fairy style wings
Double paired wings
Avian style tail
Reptilian style tail
