Description
I felt like drawing Meraad Adaar, 's Dragon Age OC, the Inquisitor's sister and a former Saarebas, as she is slowly starting to embrace rather than fear her magic, with the help of Hawke and Cole, as described in this story:Unlearning FearDalton Hawke can’t decide whether it’s a beautiful morning or not.
The arguments for yes: the sky is vast and open, barely a single wisp of cloud breaking up the swathe of pale blue-grey. The high walls of Skyhold keep out the worst of the wind, and the air is fresh from the dawn, cool and bracing in Dalton’s throat. The fortress is alive with life, the sun making the green and russet leaves translucent, the courtyards thrumming with activity and chatter.
The arguments for no: he slept badly, his dreams a nonsensical and really rather unpleasant blur of Templars and darkspawn and multiple raging Arishoks. And more importantly, every face here is unfamiliar, and they’ll stay unfamiliar until he can find Varric, which doesn’t seem likely to happen any time soon. Perhaps he’ll be better at navigating the keep after a week or two here, but for now, the place is worse than a maze. Standing in the courtyard, surrounded by strangers, with no i
She looks happier than she is supposed to; plus the atmosphere is too dark for the time of day when the story takes place... So it's probably not her first lesson.

Awww, she's adorable! I love the whole idea of a 'recovering saarebas', and Meraad makes the whole concept even better

*Incoherent awed spluttering* Wow, wow, wow. This is so incredibly beautiful and wonderful and... OK, deep breath, Sky. I'm not sure if I can accurately describe how wonderful this is, I'm sitting here with a massive grin on my face. It's just so gorgeous to look at - that beautiful snowy background and the contrast with the warm glow from her fire spell. And I really, really love how that glow lights up her face and adds a splash of colour against her pale colours and the dark background - which is very fitting, considering her backstory.
Not to mention how beautiful she looks! She's exactly as I imagine her, and I just adore how you did all that long silvery-white hair, and the little details like the scars on her wrists. And seeing a smile like that on her face fills me with happy feels.
In short - this is stunning and fantastic and absolutely beautiful and perfect. Thank you so much - I'm incredibly happy to know my story could inspire you to create something like this! You've really made my evening.

Aaaah, and your comment definitely made my day, too! I am so, so glad you are pleased with how Meraad turned out; I really loved adding all the little details to her look (she has some scars on her neck, too!). And I am always happy to draw me some silky hair. ^^ And make some magical glowy colour schemes!
