'Aridif' is the old name for the brightest star in Cygnus which is where I got her name. I decided to name her after a star considering what it is the Knites do.

All traditional except the background which I made on Corel PSP. I meant to put more into it but I'd already coloured the original by the time I remembered and once it was scanned this was the best I could do (which is pretty good considering how SLOW the computer is - if I thought it would have sped it up, I would have smashed the thing.)

Oh, and another first for me - I coloured her in pen. In pen! It was terrifying...

So... Aridai. She's friendly and laughs easily but has spells of melancholy. As one who remembers looking at the stars through her Uncle's telescope and mapping the night sky with him, she feels their loss keenly. She joined the Knites right at the beginning but is unable to join them on the rooftops as often as she would like due to her Uncle's failing health.

If you haven't read [link] §ion=&global=1&q=knite#/d2hzam9 (Knite) I'd really recommend it - the art and the story are simply beautiful.
