Description
She doesn't understand why they're all looking at her like that.

I don't draw fanart very often, but this character kind of spoke to me. She's a very minor character from Anne Bishop's Black Jewels series. Some very minor spoilers may be ahead.

Della's village is attacked by a rival army and is completely destroyed. She's the only survivor, and wouldn't have survived herself if the invading army hadn't in turn been attacked by a group of Arcerian cats.

The cats of Arceria are 600-pound, vicious, magical, intelligent felines who don't ordinarily care much for humans. Because of recent incursions on their territory, they have begun to learn to deal with humans, so when they find a lone little girl, they decide to rescue her. Several years later, she is adopted by Karla, the Queen of a nearby Territory.

That's about all that Della is mentioned, but it got me thinking: I wonder if Karla had any problems taking in a ten-year-old that had been raised in the wilderness by wild animals? I can't help but think there may have been some culture shock there.
