Here she finally is!
The ref I've been working on for like a month xD

Say hello to my girl Riza!
She's a regular human and a leader in my story.

The marks under her eye are tattoos and part of her religion and traditions.
As well as her hair piece.
Her family believes in Daharahounds and they believe that Daharahounds are
peacefull creatures meant to guide the dead to either their heaven or hell.

Regular Daharahouds roam the land and are believed to guide souls to purgatory
while sky Daharas take over to guide the souls to heaven.
Water/ cave Daharas take over to guide souls to their hell.

Because Daharas are decendants of Hellhounds, people who follow this religion are considered Satanists.

Riza's usual attire is the first outfit on the sheet.
She wears this when she is outside the city walls and in the forests.

Her traditional attire is the second outfit.
This is for when she comes back to the city and goes to visit her family.
It is tradition in her family to wear white or pastel attire so it can clearly show each persons colour.

The last outfit is for when she needs to attend formal / fancy gatherings.
She hates not being barefoot so her boots are specially made to expose part of her feet for her comfort.

Riza's colour is orange (Big shocker I know)
In Riza's family, every single person is assigned their own colour.
This is decided by the eyecolour of the person.
Everytime a baby is born, the eyecolour is immediatly visible and is usually a rather unusual colour for humans.
This happens because of a genetic defect caused by the radiation that used to be in the city.
(Older generations were heavily effected but the after effects are only the rare eyes)
But since the government won't allow the peopel to know that there was radiation,
the family believes that it's because the Daharas have blessed their family for the sacrifice their older generations made.

Riza will always have orange incorperated somewhere into her wear,
if it's not possible, she'll just wear her hair piece.

I hope you love her!
And I hope y'all like my idea of the religion as well!
(Since Daharahounds are my closed species lol)
