@Brunette Hi there! Yes, Kiara's design does fall under Copyrighted Content.
I'll add an image of Kirara here to help outline my comments.
Key features of Kirara's design are:
- Twin cream tails with double stripes at the tips
- Red eyes with fangs
- A diamond-shaped marking on the forehead
- Small socks with one stripe that joins into the sock
Features to adjust:
- Consider moving the placement of the stripes at the tips of the tail or adding extra smaller ones to make the design more unique. You could even invert the colours to make brown tails with cream stripes.
- Break up the character design on the face by adding a couple of cream stripes to the ears. To further break up the character design, change the shape of the marking on the forehead. The red eyes and fangs are generic and do not need adjusting.
- Consider adjusting the socks' length to cover more of the leg, adding extra stripes like the tail.
Hope this helps!
