She's in several of the earlier episodes, I don't remember exactly how many. But you do see a good bit of her. If memory serves, her species is called a "Wau", and if you saw the original Tenchi OVA you saw the head of the Galactic Police - he's the same species.
Not humans with the kitty ears from their stuffed animal?
BTW-- since I have a vague sort of excuse to brag on my husband, because of your icon and artistic themes-- Elf drew a picture for one of my D&D characters.
Story, skip if you like: Before we were even dating, he was the GM and helping me roll her up, and one of his steps is for the maker to roll two or three D20s to see what random characteristics they get. I rolled "lycanthrope." Small problem, I can't do evil. He's also a rules lawyer, and noticed that his new monster book had "lycanthrope" as the generic term for any animal shifter. So she's a fox. (Chaotic neutral, I can do.)
We just found it again, and I did a not-so-great scan...and really want to brag on it, because the most wonderful man on earth gave it to me. ^.^
Yes to your first sentence there. When it's just animal ears they look like humans to me... if they're going to be noonhuman than make them look nonhuman, for pete's sake!
That's a cool story there; and as I tried to comment at the linked art: "You're lucky to have such a husband, and he's lucky to be married to you." ;)
Is THAT where she's from! I've seen, err, fan art of her in the past, and I always did wonder where she was supposed to come from. I never knew there were any furries in Tenchi Muyo. I may have to give it a look myself now.
I gotta say, though, this is certainly an obsessively-organized site. o_o Be a great reference for anyone who wanted to draw her, I'll say that.
If you follow the link back to the main archive, you may like what you find. Furry gal art from Rescue Rangers, Tail Spin, SWAT Kats, and what not. He's got quite the collection!
IIRC the guy who created Tenchi Muyo used to work for the Thundercats cartoon as one of the animators.
I think the reason why that they avoid the whole furry-style focus is because you can't really do moe - or more accurately, what most target audiences in Japan find moe.
Furry art and anime style have different focuses to begin with; so anthromorphism isn't as frequent. It does happen though; just not very common.

She looks like a lion, not a cat. (I think you know what I mean.)
