i know, my titles are always lame |3 but hopefully the pic makes up for it this time? this is my entry for a draw-to-adopt over on da, i spent soooo long on it. but i think it was worth it; i'm pretty sure this is my best picture yet. here's the info about her:

name: Sandhya Kira Kakarauri
age: early 20s
personality: easygoing, carefree, friendly, quiet
special powers: sandhya can make sunset come quicker and postpone the sunrise. her friends love to have her at parties because of that. she's usually happy to oblige, since putting off the sunrise also puts off her bedtime. she enjoys archery, but only aims at the sky; her falling arrows become shooting stars.
background: no one, herself included, knows if sandhya has a family, or where she actually comes from. as a child, she was taken care of by many different people. despite being quiet and well-behaved, her nocturnal habits and love of archery made it difficult for any family to handle her for long. as a teenager, she decided that it would be less stressful if she was on her own, and started wandering around and camping wherever she found a nice spot. for the past couple of years she's stayed around one area, where she's made friends and feels at home.
likes: night time; nature; peace and quiet; elegant clothes and settings
dislikes: bright lights; crowded cities; unnecessary din
