Description So FINALLY did a new reference for Truda. It's been too long since I re-did her's and it really did need it. I adore Truda, I'm kinda sad that I don't seem to get the chance to use her as much D:

Anywho I will admit, this was a little rushed, I really got lazy on the feet.. heh.. and some of the anatomy is a little odd. But it's still way better than the previous ref.

Made in oC 3+, arranged with PS 6

Sauristans are a species of mine yanno

Name: Truda Sjaen
Gender: Female
Species: Sauristan
Hair: White w/ Purple streaks
Skin: Pale
Eyes: Green w/ White Pupils
Height: 5'2"

Personality: She has a rather brash personality, and doesn't care what other people think. She doesn't seem to have much of a concept of a personal filter and will say exactly what comes to her mind regardless of how harsh or offensive it may be perceived. However in many cases this response isn't due to hatred or spite, but rather a desire to be honest, even if it lacks a bit of tact.

Recently, she has become cold, calloused, and jaded, mostly a result of being witness to the constant pitfalls of the Star Firiens. She never takes anyone for their word, only by their actions will she even consider to trust them. However for those she does trust she considers those pacts deeply important and remains steadfast and loyal to those that show they can be trusted.

Of course, like the rest of her heritage, she enjoys the thrill of the fight, whether if be a friendly spar, a competition, a senseless brawl or warfare. She has even provoked fights intentionally for this reason.

Appearance: She looks pretty much human, somewhat pale skin, green eyes with faded white 'pupils', and white hair with purple steaks. Additionally, she also has somewhat canine-like teeth along with tough, blunt claws on her hands and feet.

Common accessories she wears are several earrings, 4 piercings on the right ear and 3 piercings on the left, along with a cuff that cannot be removed. Later on in her life when she was accepted into Kita's clan, she received several navy blue tribal tattoos. Solid stripes adorn her back, while she has symbolic tattoos down the side of each of her arms.

Background: She was the only girl in her family, and part of a royal family at that. Despite her mother wanting her to be prim, proper, and lady-like, Truda followed suite of her brothers, rough housing, and trying to get out of anything that had to do with dances, meetings, court gatherings, etc.
Because of her political status in her home planet, she was sent to be a part of Mara's court on an allied planet/starsystem, along with Aqualis* and Erica*. She found this far more enjoyable than what she was forced to do at home, and took to her tasks at Mara's court rather well.

It was one of the meetings she, Mara, and the others had to take part in that was the cause of the attack on her planet, an attack that practically irradiated the planet itself. She and the others were some of the few that had escaped and worked on mounting a counter attack against their common enemy, after such attack, they stayed together preformed their duties as normal.

Years later, she became the General of the Star Firien army. In an attempt to gain allies she traveled to Di-kal, the sister planet of her own, now destroyed planet, in hopes of enlisting the Qytirs as their allies. Here she met Kitra and was initiate as an honorary member of their clan.

Shortly after this, she had a falling out with Star Fire* angered by short-sightedness of the queen and idiocy that made up most of the political field. She hated the selfishness and the egos and cut off her ties with the group entirely, venturing out on her own. Currently she travels with Kitra for personal reasons and also to reunite the scattered colonies of Sauristans on a planet they can call their own.

Other: Vast knowledge of hand to hand combat, weaponry, vehicles, poisons, and battle tactics.
