Kanvas, singular kanva (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, känvakur, which is loaned from Classical Nenta 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
Trivia
- According to Astaryuu, kanvas were originally based upon fursuiters, with Estariel's wider build in particular being a result of the bulkier appearance someone in a suit tends to have.
