Description
Day 7 - Favourite female OC: Irika ThakurWell, that is...unsuspected, isn't it? XD
Irika is the 'mysterious woman' in 'Westwind' - at least this is what I like to call her. She will however only have brief appearances but she will later get a bigger role in the prequel.
I just really like her as a character, though I have to say that choosing my favourite female OC was a difficult decision. I can't really tell you much about Irika here, 'cause I wanna keep stuff secret. But let me just say, she has an interesting character trait, which she isn't really aware of herself and I think a lot of people can relate to her in that point.
The pose was frustrating! I had to start over and over again to get something that's somewhat right.
The flower in her hand is supposed to be a lotus flower. I just can't resist some flower symbolism. XD

Ohh, I wasn't expecting her as your favorite female character. o0o
I know I've seen her in WestWind but you are right when you say she's mysterious! But she's really pretty and I just LOVE the lotus flower~ I really love flower symbolism too and I always try to look up the meaning of flowers before I incorporate them. But the lotus here is so fitting for her character and I really love the way she's posed too~
She looks so sweet!
I also can't wait to see more of her in your story!
Excellent work!

Not surprised by that. I rarely talk about or draw her. XD
Hm, yeah. So far she has appeared in deleted scenes. And she will have a few scenes in the main story. But we'll not getting to know much about her until the prequel. -.-
I'm doing this flower thing way to often. >w< But it's so cool! The lotus flower is a symbol for purity, grace and beauty, which fits Irika very well.^^
Thank you very much!

It's really good to see her though!
Aww really? Well that's okay cause I'm planning on sticking around till the end so I can't wait to see!
No such thing as too often when it comes to flowers! And trust me if YOU feel you're using them way too often then I much be overdoing it a million times over!
I think that fits her very well too from what I've seen! ^_^
Of course! Keep up the amazing work!

That's nice to know. I hope you will not be disappointed.^-^
I'm starting to give all of my main characters a flower as a symbol. That's what I've got so far:
Kaede - Red rose
Irika - Lotus flower
Maria - Lavender
Oscar - Thistle
Raelyn - Dandelion
I don't know why but I just love symbolism like this.
Well, in your case it'e even in the story's title. XD

I don't think you could disappoint me if you tried~
Those are great!
And the Thistle is the national flower of Scotland isn't it? :3
It fits Oscar perfectly!
Same! And I love birthstones too~ Symbolism is so much fun isn't it?
Lol that's true.
But now I'm inspired and want to give each of my characters a special flower too~ So thank you!

It is, that's why I chose the thistle. The flower also has leaves with prickles and I think that fits to Oscar's personality, because he uses his temper ans grumpiness to protect his pride and hide his fears. Like the flower protects itself from predators. That's how I use symbolism. Actually I even chose Oscar's job because it can be read as a metaphor. XD You'll see soon what I mean.
I'm inspiring you a lot recently... You're welcome!
