Today's prompt was "Passport"
It's going to be one of the more "stretch" of the term in order to get the prompt to work in a fantasy world
Capital City is an expansive kingdom at the heart of the Human Empire. The nation is a global superpower, with more military might and funding than all of the other nations combined.
As such, the Capital City has its own private army for the sole purpose of enforcing chekcpoints for all foot-traffic going to/from. It's typically a standard, quick, and painless procedure -- inspect the merchant's caravans for stowaways, inspect goods coming/leaving for contraband, collect a tariff for anyone entering, and ensuring everyone's paperwork has been validated by the proper authorities.
Well, it's a simple and painless procedure if you're a human...
Within the walls of Capital City, all furs are property -- bet it pet or slave. There is no such thing as a free fur. As such, most furs wouldn't dare to even attempt to enter the, not to mention attempting to do so alone.
But Stormy needed go go. The emperor was notorious worldwide for having an insatiable interest with everything relating to magic and the artifacts. His library and advisors possess the most comprehensive archive of all things magic related. If she was to ever understand where her powers came from, she NEEDED to comb through for herself
There was absolutely no way, under any circumstances she'd be allowed to walk freely into the most speciest place in this world... but there is a circumstance where she could walk in as someone's brand new pet...
Through some of her connections, Stormy managed to get in contact with an eccentric aristocrat within Capital City that was running his own underground railroad to get furs out of the city, one auction at a time. This man was attending auctions of luxury furs to purchase the "rejects" that would surely have been disposed of if they didn't sell -- he'd rehabilitate them, and smuggle them out of the city to safety.
Stormy's theory was that a man capable of smuggling furs out of the city should be more than capable of smuggling furs in.
So they hatched a (percarious, yet plausible) plan. He had filed for the paperwork to apply for a "brand new exotic fur" that he had "purchased from a breeder abroad". He was able to obtain official documents of ownership, which would serve as Stormy's passport to make it through customs as if she were any other imported product.
As humiliating of a process as it was to have every square inch of her searched by a guard who glared at her in disgust the entire time, she did eventually manage to get her paperwork cleared. Though now she's technically someone's "pet" in an official capacity, at least she now had an opportunity to see the archives for herself.
Note: not entirely sure if the lore above constitutes general or mature. Hopefully, general is fine

Her outfit (cloak especially) was both really fun to draw, and a major pain in the butt to draw. I really rushed the guard on this one, especially his back. Finished in exactly 1hr though, so at least I was able to do a 2-character "halfbody" sketch in an hour. Even though time went up, I think I'm still on track to improving efficiency
There is some weird jank where her cowl wraps around. It just stops at the “button” despite being so “clumpy” in the front. I’ll probably make some modifications if this one ends up being picked for the phase 2 next month (it’s so far the most favorited of the first 7 so there’s a good chance it will be)
