So with the advent of my new Group over on DA, I have decided to work on some new C.A.F.E. submissions of my own. I'll probably be taking some requests for character/ability combos, or even some custom abilities for Kirby later on down the road, but let's focus on this particular image for now.

For those whom don't remember (or weren't around when I first started the series), Copy Abilities for Everyone (C.A.F.E. for short) started out as a mini-series to my old Super Randomness sprite comic. In the original comic (which was taken down a long time ago), my character Matthew receives a special Copy Visor from Kirby as a birthday present. this particular version of the visor was modified to allow anyone who used it to obtain one of Kirby's copy abilities for their own use. Matt then decides, in his infinite wisdom, to allow his friends, allies and... well, pretty much anyone else who wanted to give it a try; and chaos ensues. The series eventually became it's own thing, and now I've created an entire group dedicated to the concept!
This edition of the series sees Amy Rose of Sonic the Hedgehog fame using the "Cupid" ability. First premiering in the underrated GBA game "Kirby and the Amazing Mirror" ("Kirby: the Great Mirror Labyrinth" outside of North America), the ability is normally obtained by copying the Kirby series enemy known as "Cupie", though it's assumed that anything possessing the essence of "Love" in it can bestow this ability.

When Amy uses this power, she grows a pair of small wings, gains a halo & bow, and dons a white, silken toga with gold trim & a pair of boot-like sandals. I designed the form with some small inspiration from Pit's design in the Kid Icarus series. This form uses the bow to attack enemies with a volley of heart-tipped arrow.

Amy's abilities in this form are as followed...

Arrow Shot: Amy draws her bow and shoots out a heart arrow that pierces enemies to damage them. It doesn't do much damage.

Arrow Charge: Instead of firing the arrow right off, Amy charges her bow with love energy; increasing the distance and damage the arrows do when fired.

Arrow Cluster: When fully charged, Amy will launch a cluster of multiple arrows; dealing damage to multiple targets spread across a wide area.

Flutter: Amy's wings aren't strong enough to carry her through the air at a decent speed, but she can use them to accurately flutter about through narrow and dangerous passageways. She can also fire her arrows whilst in mid-air; allowing her to avoid certain hazards to hit certain targets.

Copy Scroll - Power Up: Upon collecting a Copy Scroll for the ability (Kirby: Squeak Squad), Amy will gain the ability to focus even more love energy in her arrows; permanently doubling their base damage.
