Welcome to my character portrait gallery

For anyone who is wondering, Wednesday became 'black Wednesday' for me because I cannot draw mid-week!
In fact I'm sure the rainforests mourn Wednesday too by the amount of paper I tear through in frustration... so this is a blog for all who know what like it is to regularly shout at their pencils
Oh yes it's also all about fictional characters plus interviews with them, yeah, that too :)

Na’Ruenne Kei



Na’Ru works as a hospital nurse; she is 25years old and a rather lofty 5ft 11in tall. 

An accomplished practitioner she is well liked by family and friends. Her job is a surface illusion, albeit one based in reality, it is still a lie. This job and her kind nature are her honest lies, lies to which she will admit. Ask anyone of her nature and they will recant how caring, sweet an innocent she is. Indeed she has no trouble convincing us that butter would not melt in her mouth.
Yet with a little digging we discover that she is sharp and sour beneath the surface and in truth she has a seductive and jealous nature.

Her love in this world revolves around her illusionist studies and necromancy. Necromancy is still not widely discussed even amongst its practitioners. From what little she says we gather she has had an unspoken interest in these arts since her youth. Her parents both work in the medical industry. Her mother is a vet and her father a fellow nurse.

She seems fond of rats, poisons and diseases and tells us she is immune to most infections. She owns a set of tightly closed phials that, we are told, contain diseases, bacteria and infections from all over the world. She calls these her family conquests, but we are not naïve enough to dismiss the fact that she probably uses them for necromancy.
  
Na’Ru is a different kind of vain, the sort unable to identify with others and entrapped by love of her own image. She spent a great deal of the interview running her fingers through her hair and gazing at her face in the silver light reflectors.

  2. Thank you ^_^ Na'Ru is the only character we have who is specifically purple right now...lots of indigo one's, black, green and vibrant red too!

    The choice of skin colour for characters is always species-specific. Now Na'Ru is a type of ord which can be any hue but usually have a ‘normal’ skin tone. So whilst she’s not really an unusual colour for her species we can safely assume there also aren’t a whole host of purple-skinned people strolling about town :P
