Been thinking about this OC for a while now, but never tried to flesh her out. The idea came originally from a La Roux song, from an album I had for years, but started listening to again recently:

Quote:
 
Leaves, please be my light filter
Shine, make me a shelter to hide
cause love makes you lose your sight

Now the search party's on its way
And the floodlight's on my face
All the shadows that I walk in
Are just my volatile second skin

My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you're ready come into the light

Lines, design a pathway
Shine, cut out the dark shapes
To find, although I really tried
Only time is a lover's guide
And now the railings fall away
And the stencils draw a face
Our outlines in the sunset
Are just a fragile silhouette
I interpret this song to be about a woman whose running away from a crime she committed for love. She has magic powers and can for example ask leaves to be a light filter/make her a shelter, or lines to make a pathway, etc. She uses this to escape, probably through a forest, hence the leaves. Her magic is very defencive, shadows being her second skin and reflections being her protection.

I've been playing a Skyrim character lately based on this theme, mostly casting illusion and alteration to avoid combat where possible and runes to harm where needed.

Also I thought I'd try to draw her (it's still a work in progress):

(I didn't do the face on this one, literally scanned in the template I was using, since I just couldn't get it by tracing.)

Then I wanted to see if I could show her casting a spell:

I found the background here: https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/380694974724811618/

So this is what I've been occupying myself with. I hope to flesh her out into a full character and submit her to the Character Codex in the future.
