Description Note: Large file! Please fullview or download for proper clarity, I don't know why it looks blurry at a smaller size
edit - changed the colour of the inside of the wings

part two of reference can be found here: fancypigeon.deviantart.com/art…

meet my oldest OC ever, I first drew her when I was like 11 or something
She was originally a red eyrie on neopets. Unfortunately, at the time I didn't know what Mary Sues were, I was a really obnoxious weeaboo, and I was also a little kid who had no idea how to actually write stories. I think you can imagine how much of a catastrophe this character was.

I recently redesigned her completely. Her personality isn't fully fleshed out but I tried to mention a little bit of whatever I had figured out. I will add more poses/views in another image.

Some other notes on this character (please note this is subject to change)
- her friends call her "living matchbox" because she can start small fires with her magic
- she tends to worry a lot and she is also a bit paranoid
- she loves flying - for her flying is like an art form, she likes to try flying in many different weather conditions and practice different techniques/styles of flight
- her occupation is that of a hunter - she's supposed to bring in food for her clan, such as berries/fish/whatever, but she's not really that good at it because she doesn't like practicing for it
- her father is a master of fire magic and he always sort of expected her to follow in his footsteps, but out of insecurity and fear that she could never be as good as he is, she never bothers to study it very well; she has a pretty strong fear of failing
- although she is energetic, she is actually a big procrastinator - she avoids doing things partly because she's always afraid she's going to mess up; the only thing she doesn't procrastinate on is flying because she knows she's already reasonably good at it
- she can be kind of pushy about her opinions and this tends to annoy other people; it's really hard to get her to think or do something she doesn't want to
- she is not interested in any kind of sexual relationship although she is sometimes interested romantically in others
- her cousin and friend is this gryph: fav.me/d7jwls0
- she has a brother named Liafin (will make a ref for him too at some point)

Sorry if that's a bit tmi I'm terrible at talking about my OCs haha...Feel free to ask questions about her if you want, I'm happy to answer!!

Awww she's adorable! I love her design and everything! Is the image where she doesn't have wings just to show what she'd look like or is there actually some character magic thing there where she can detach her wings? I'm just interested

Thank you!! No it's just to show the markings on the side of her body, her wings are always attached haha!

Haha, I understand looking back at old characters and realizing what a Mary Sue you made. I recently started a bout of OC creation again after years and I find it a lot easier to flesh them out!

And I really like the design for Elira! Especially those ears, and how she appears to be based on a fox. The eyes are attention grabbing too with a nice contrast against the red.

Haha me too, I guess with practice it gets easier to make interesting characters. And thank you very much!!

Thanks!

i've scrapped that entire part of her because it was culturally appropriative and extremely Mary Sue. Actually I've scrapped like 90% of her character, i think the only things that are the same is that she's red, a gryphon, named Elira, and has a brother named Liafin
