I redesigned Rillroot's mascot: old lily vs new spider lily

why the old chibi goes (the Reddit "looks generic" feedback)
the two forms (the bud walks the root and opens at the pond, plus sprouts on the tiles it passed)
why the body stays dark
the four ways you tried to animate her, which readers usually like most
what's next, ending with "Pre-register on Google Play"
three questions for comments, starting with "old or new?"
