Description
I know I do not give much justice to drawing the other dynamic characters of the Ascending Trilogy (Halo is kinda my favourite), so I drew Nixie, Pyro's fraternal twin sister. I've also been contemplating about her character A LOT. Nixie is a trolling artist. It's her hobby and current profession. She is quite snide, crude, and rough around the edges. Give her almost anything and she will find some way to ruin your childhood with it. 2% Gyrfalcon, around 9 years of age; she has a compact, slender frame but is quite durable against the wind. Her origin of birth is somewhere in northern Ireland.It's quite surprising to find Nixie with a serious expression. So if she has one, you know the situation is dire. She prefers to be quirky and jovial, rather than serious, brooding, paranoid-though she does have to fight the same darkness all these kids grew up with.
During confrontations with danger, Nixie is often told to stay out of it. Not because she is physically weak (Though she is missing the lower half of her left leg), but because when she had the chance to be trained by Halo, she opted out. She is a trickster afterall, not a warrior.
Nixie was named by Nyroc, for her incredible red hair and mythical looks (Nyroc read a lot of fantasy genre books while locked up in the lab.) A nixie is a type of (German) fairy and they are very mischievous.
Still working out minor details on the further portion of the story to give each character some proper development. Each of them do change as the story progresses. Nixie is no exception. But I'll leave that to the readers to discover.
Listened to Enya while drawing this.

Enya is awesome. I'd love her to update some of her music by replacing the old synthesizer tracks with more modern sounds, but not change her vocals.

Downloaded the album, very glad to see she didn't try to reinvent her sound and continued with her hauntingly beautiful vocals. Echoes in Rain is very good, and I like The Humming too. Pale Grass Blue is fun and sings about wings! My guess is they're butterfly wings though based on the "winds are still enough".
