One Who Will Be Named...

Description

This is my main female OC from a novel I'm writing. I'm not 100% pleased with it, I made multiple mistakes because I was using almost no reference at all :P I will re-do her one day, but right now I'm still working on her NAME! :XD:

For now I'm going with "Emethiel" but it may change as I dig up ancient names and read up on mythology.

Emethiel is the youngest of a set of fraternal triplets born of a female Fey (faerie of the Flowers to be specific) and a Wizard decended man [there's a loong story behind this]. She is the only female, the other two are boys. Her greatest passion is horseback riding, and due to the Vanishings, also known as the 'kidnapping of the Shadows' which is the cause for the disappearance of the triplets's mother, her father does not let Emethiel travel far from their small town, and never on her own. This is very painful because of Emethiel's longing to travel and see other lands, this comes from an inate desire to mingle with the Fey from other lands[they moved from the 'mixed races city' after their mother was taken and moved to the Realm of men]. She is rather jealous of her eldest brother who goes down to 'Dragon Country' for dragon training. It doesn't help that they butt heads alot, though are very much alike in character, both are fiery and bold, while the middle brother (let's call him: Conner) is more reserved, though will eagerly talk about the things that interest him, such as sciences, history, but mostly astronomy. Connor is no nerd though, he takes fencing and sword fighting lessons, though more for the enjoyment of the art of the sport rather than for having a combative nature. He will only resort to violence if he finds it absolutely neccessary.
Being half faerie Emethiel inherited the sideways pointed ears and slanted eyes which are grey-lilac in color. She's generally a very happy person who does not get mood swings like her older brother, nor gets dispirited easily. She has a gentle side, but also is a fighter (this side will appear more as she goes through her journeys). Generally very sweet but because she grows up with 3 males and the fact that most young men in the village are madly in love with her beauty, she tries to be less feminine and gentle than she really is. Besides horseback riding she loves music [again due to her faerie blood] and dancing, as well as nature and all the creatures that live in it. When her father has a vision of their mother, she immediately knows in her heart that she must take up the quest of searching for her along with her brothers and friends they meet along the journey. A quest that must be completed before He-Who-Hasn't-An-Official-Name-Yet (let's just call him by his code name: Cronus) breaks the Banishment spell placed upon him by those of the Wizarding Order couple hundred years before; and thus striking revenge against the lands of the Fey (which occupies most of the world), the East and Western Elven kingdoms and the Realm of Man.

There's sooo much more I could tell you, but I won't unless someone reading this right now want's to know more. Although some info I may not divulge for protection reasons ;)

~Cheers!

PS: I'm submitting this for the :iconportraitpencilart: OC contest.

:icongimmefeedback:
How does her physical appearance connect with her character and personality? Do they match?
Any suggestions on the facial structure and facial features are welcome ;)

Your shading technique is beautiful and I think her expression reflects her character really well. Though I don't consider this to be much of an issue myself. Once you have a character description I think the appearance comes naturaly. :aww:

As for the fatcial features everthing is where it should be but I think the eyes are slightly to big and the nose seems a little bent. Giving the face a slightly elongated look. If that makes sense. :giggle:

The hair seems perfect to me and the hilights and shadows all seem to fall in the right places. :D
I hope this helps in some way, I'm still new to the whole critique thing. :meow:
