This is Nila. :3

I decided to make a reference for this character I've had for about six months (although I've never seriously drawn her, only doodled her all over my notes), and now that I installed an updated driver for my tablet, the pressure sensitivity works and makes things SO MUCH EASIER to do.

Hopefully you can read my handwriting ... but the one thing I wanted to explain just a little better here (I didn't have room on the ref) was that her stripes and 'eyebrows' change color pretty constantly. They can be rainbow for awhile, and then reds and yellows, then shades of blue, etc. This is due to transparency on her back and above her eyes, where her soul energy flows constantly at different intensities. The stripes will change as well (they won't look the same one day as they do the next) because of these flows, but mood also plays a bit of a part in their formation. If she's in a positive mood (neutral counts as positive), her stripes will be crisp and pointed at the end. If she's in a negative mood, the ends of the stripes will be more blurred and rounded. If she's upset enough, the soul energy will literally start to bleed (though it's not painful to her).

As for the necklace, she has a box of trinkets that she's constantly expanding, and she wears different items on it each day. Charms, tabs from soda cans, small stones, even barbed wire ... anything goes if she can get a hole through it (or wrap it around the string).

Nila © me, and I love her very much, so please don't steal.
