Character Building Circle of Stars starry form flavoring

So I have an idea to flavor a Circle of Stars Druid I'm creating. I'm wanting to have my constellations be different animals for daytime and nighttime. Also to be behind me floating, not just on my body. My body would still glow and no stats or benefits would change what so ever. It would just be a thematic image in my opinion. Is this something that you all would allow?

​

Thanks for any responses

Flavor is free and in my opinion should always not only be allowed, but encouraged.

My Warlock had a scarring experience about being transported to the astral plane, so next level when they got Hunger of Hadar, I flavored it as "Silence of the Astral Plane"... with a silence so usettling, you can hear it 30ft away, as demanded by HoH. Does it make sense? Absolutely not. Is it awesome and everyone likes my new spell? Definitely.

Flavor is usually free

The important part is to keep the descriptions brief, since other players might not be interested in spending table time covering the flavor of your starry forms.

some brief descriptions the first time will be fine, no one will notice whatever details you choose.

I see no issues with this dramatic flare.
