Description
For the past three days, I've had a sore throat, been tired (due to night shifts), and a bit of the sniffles. I don't know how many of those symptoms are just a common cold, and how many are... worse.

Since I had drawn one of Karyana's twin daughters, it's only fitting that I draw the second, Asha.

Here are the facts about her:

1- Like her sister, Asha is eight years old, but due to Volkram's scheming, her body was forced to age quicker than normal, making her appear as an 11-year old girl.

2- Asha has light blond hair and purple eyes, traits that neither of her parents seem to have. She is also shorter than her sister, which causes her a heavy dose of bullying from other children.

3- Contrary to her sister, Asha tries to be more logical and is very bookish. She enjoys reading as her main hobby. Rather than wear her armor over her clothes like her sister, she wears it under them.

4- Asha is more magically-inclined than her sister and was trained to fight like her father, preferring to use a staff rather than a sword.

5- Asha has suffered many traumatic events. The curse that split her life between her sister at their birth, followed by nearly drowning when her belt buckle was wedged in Citadel's fountain years later. In 'Remembered Eternity', she was killed by the homunculus Bai, only to be revived by Asuna in the body of a doll after the latter borrowed her body for a trial she was given by Prolectae. Her jealousy towards her sister and strife over what happened led to her corruption, which transformed her into a gorgon-like creature in 'The Waiting Ones'. It took Karyana, Lupa and Dawn to bring her back to her senses and save her.

6- Asha's actual name is Asherah, which is the name of the Canaanite mother goddess. In Hebrew, that name means 'Happiness'. However, the name 'Asha' in Sanskrit or Swahili means Hope.
