'''Kanvas''', singular '''kanva''' {{pronunciation|{{wp|English language|English}}|[kænvəz, -ə]}} are a sentient species that appear in [[Drawn to AfterLife]].

==Etymology==
===Literary etymology===
The name "kanva" is a play on the English word "canvas".

===In-universe etymology===
The name "kanva" comes from the [[Liðakuin]] word of the same meaning, {{lida-term|känvakur|}}, which is loaned from [[Classical Nenta]] {{term|qenava}}, simply meaning "person" or "people".

==Characteristics==
Kanvas are anthropomorphic furred creatures that tend to be about as tall as a human. Although typically described as feline or felinoid, some kanvas have ears or tails that more closely resemble canine or vulpine ones.

==Important kanva characters==
* The entire Mojito family, including:
** {{c|Estariel|Mojito}}
** {{c|Iris|Mojito}}
** {{c|Remy III}}
** {{c|Remy I}}
* {{c|Kalia|Paloma}}
* Most [[Yukacan]] deities, including:
** {{c|Ruvafukarémuan}}
** {{c|Selshan|Téshika Téraza Télíta}}

==Trivia==
* According to Astaryuu, kanvas were originally based upon fursuiters, with {{c|Estariel|Mojito}}'s wider build in particular being a result of the bulkier appearance someone in a suit tends to have.
