❌ FleX-Men

Episode 6: Frog

The school is a vivid, colorful world of flexibility, where students are trained to defy the laws of human anatomy. Despite their differences, they have become a family. Dr. Why is proud of every single one of them and makes sure that no one falls behind.

His methods are unconventional and suitable only for the Bendigo Kids, who have been born with a rare gift: a body limited only by their imagination and willpower. And the results speak for themselves: a team of the most flexible contortionists in history.

...Snakelops, Folderine, Frog, Worm, Twist, Gumbit, Chewbilly, Gym Fay, and Compressor X...

Frog is an African girl with a heart of gold and legs like rubber bands. She comes from a family of athletes – her dad was once a top-tier rhythmic gymnast, while her mom clinched many running championships in Africa and beyond. They passed on their athletic powess to further boost her Bendigo genes.

Real name: Aisha Nyambura
Country of origin: Kenya
Element: Aquatic
Specialty: Underwater Acrobatics
Other hobbies: Acro Dance
Favorite food: Chapati

She joined the team right after Dr. Why's contest as her parents, being big fans of competitions, encouraged her to participate in the event that was a perfect match for her skills.

Frog is a real-life mermaid, spending hours in the deep sea and learning from the most flexible creatures she meets. Her own flexibility is incredible – she was born with a natural talent for stretching and could do backfolds from an early age. But once she tried front bends, she never looked back...

This prodigy girl can hold her breath seemingly forever while performing acrobatic stunts underwater – using the water's resistance to her advantage and making it look like she is defying gravity itself while bending with the ease of a jellyfish.

What do you think? πŸ˜„
Oh lovely! So she only do frontbends?
Now she's my favorite😍
Well, she used to be a backbender as a child, but switched to frontbends after trying them one day and she hasn't looked back since! πŸ˜‰ I mean, backfolds, splits and twists are still part of her warm-up routine, but the main focus is on frontbends, something she'd practice for an hour without getting tired of it.

I think the best thing Dr. Why could do for her would be to create a swimsuit that requires an extreme frontbend to put it on, letting her use her hands and feet for swimming and all kinds of activities, so she can swim for hours on end while constantly improving her form! πŸ¦πŸ’¦
A Dimario knot! My favorite position! I managed getting into it a few times when I was in my teens. Fond memories. πŸ₯°
Wow, you're great with yoga! πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈπŸ‘ Thanks for your comment!

I find that frontbends remain quite difficult for me, both thinking about the pose, posing and then fixing all kinds of anatomy issues to make it look right. This might be just because I haven't practiced much over the years...

I really need more characters like her in my head, who'd help spawning fresh ideas, because I usually get a lot more ideas for backbends for some reason. πŸ˜…
Oh my God I love this series of pictures. Please keep up the outstanding work
Thank you so much!! I will do my best! It's fun working on the idea that led to not one or two but nine characters, and each seems to be quite unique and memorable :D
I like this pretzel folding :)
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D
