Today he drew from the heart, and the sketch that resulted tugged at Pegasus's soul in an abstract way. Two girls, intertwined more closely than friends or lovers; they could only be sisters, and from the decision he drew from the constellation Gemini; they would be in perfect sync with one another. A slip with the pen made the ears too big, but it was just as well, and he decided they were elves.

The newly named Gemini Elf card had a mournful look as the women clasped hands, facing the world together, and Pegasus took care to make the twins similar yet distinctive. One wearing blue and white, the other purple; one with fair hair and the other orange; one with light skin and the other darker; one with sleeves, the other sleeveless. Both had runes on their faces, and the ears were the same length, as were the facial structures and hair.

Privately, he even nicknamed them: Lora the blonde and Kachua the brunette. Two girls ready to take on the world, he thought, and so Pegasus gave them 1900 ATK with no drawbacks aside from a low 900 DEF.

Days later, another inspiration struck: The same girls, but in his favorite style—cartoons! Pegasus set to work eagerly, and he knew this project would be fun. They'd be summoned the same way as his other Toon cards did—through the funtastic magic of Toon World.

The composition of the card was similar but the proportions were exaggerated, and while the Gemini Elves had stood proud and fierce these ones were proud and sultry, winking flirtatiously and blowing kisses to their chosen duelist, still forever in sync.

The eyes were large enough for distinct colors, and Pegasus relished giving Lora blue eyes and Kachua magenta. A surreal background completed the image, and comparing the two he was almost satisfied.

Toons should have more for being summoned in such a manner, Pegasus thought until it itched at his brain. Thinking on the summoning conditions, he decided the Toon Gemini Elf could attack an opponent directly and discard one of their cards, making it quite useful in the right hands.

To balance the effect they couldn't attack the turn they were summoned, and would leave the field if Toon World was destroyed, but getting to attack could be devastating to an opponent.

Now, comparing them side-by-side, Pegasus felt satisfied at last.

Like the elves themselves, the Gemini Elf and Toon Gemini Elf cards were non-identical twins.
