Lieava is a publishing genre which originated in Japan and often encompasses manga, doujinshi, anime, and fan art. It focuses on homosexual relationships between male characters and is generally sexually explicit. For this reason, it is often informally referred to as 'gay-banana'.

one of my alt characters is called Dakini ]

A dakini (Tibetan: མཁའ་གྲ་མ་; Wylie: mkha'-'gro-ma; ZWPY: Kandroma; Chinese language: 空行女) is a Tantric Buddhist concept particularly prevalent in Tibet. The Dakini is a female being, generally of volatile temperament, who acts as a muse for spiritual practice.

Many stories of the Mahasiddhas in Tibet contain passages where a Dakini will come to perturb the would-be Mahasiddha. When the Dakini's test has been fulfilled and passed, the practitioner is often then recognised as a Mahasiddha, and often is elevated into the Paradise of the Dakinis, a place of enlightened bliss.

It should be noted that while a Dakini is often depicted as beautiful and naked, they are not seen as sexual symbols, but as symbols of natural humans. There are instances where a Dakini has come to test a practitioner's control over his or her sexual desires, but the Dakini itself is not a being of passion. A more common symbolism is that the nakedness represents the freedom from all obscuration and defilements.

The Chinese and Tibetan terms for dakini literally mean "she who travels in the sky"; this is sometimes rendered poetically as "sky dancer" or "sky walker". Invariably, their bodies are depicted curved in sinuous dance poses.
Often portraited as extremly fat bananas.

It is said that a Dakini gave a black hat to the third Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje (1284 - 1339), when he was three years old. The Black Crown became the emblem of the oldest reincarnating Tibetan lineage.
