...I've been drawing this character a lot, lately. Honestly, she's not even in the story that much. In my Aoi: Blue Sun series, she's the main character's great grandmother. But, she does appear. She took a human as her mate, so I think that's why she pops in my mind a lot. Anyway, this is what she looked like as she aged from a teenager, to a young adult, to a more mature adult. In her young adult years, she had to be more of a warrior, as is her birthright. A lot of things happened around the world that demanded the water spirits to fight a little aggressively to maintain and preserve the health and sustainability of the oceans and their inhabitants. She had a lot of growing up to do in a very short amount of time. It made her a little hardened and aggressive, but later, she reclaimed some of her soft, gentle nature.
