And finding the time to just rest those weary hooves and settle into a softened glade
in the midst of an expansive wood. Rúcina took some solace in the chance that beyond
the warring tribes and the constant need to conceal herself from her own people,
she finally had some free time to stretch and rest; fwomped down on the grassy knoll
and settled in, with legs bent in and tucked away. Rúcina looked into her pack and sifted
through her many traveled belongings that held measured value to her throughout her journey.
The fresh forest air and the crisp wooden scents let her calmly embrace the quiet of the midday's eve.

I've been without the opportunity to get art of other older characters that haven't seen the light of day
for some manner of years, and sometimes your older OC's just start to collect dust, and you want
them to be brought back in the same levels of joy and glory they once were, and this really did that
for Rúcina (Roo-Ee-Nah), I'd found her name sifting through elvish names, and it originally meant
"Confused" and in a way, with storytelling that she didn't like that the men of her tribe only got to
go to war, she donned her own combat gear and bound her chest flat to merge and mingle and fight
the way she wanted to. When i was a younger, i'd considered it a sort of Mulan homage, but now i'm
debating if she's on the fence of being transmasc, or perhaps just NB. Who knows, I still love her/them. <3

Thank you YueNoctis for reintroducing Rúcina back
into the wilderness and back into the eyes of the beholders that get to see her again!

I'm really happy with how this piece turned out and even the background work is gorgeous too ^,..,^
