Continuing the posts about my OCs - Part 03 of 03:

-- Saarya of the Ushas (she/her) --

Lightforged Draenei, Hunter (but in this faction I created it, The Ushas, they fight like Vampire Killers from Castlevania, with a whip, holy water, darts, and everything). Always optimistic, charming, vain (despite being very war-scarred), and with a "time bomb of light" in her chest.

-- Samandar Calistar (any pronouns) --

Void Elf, Monk, Follower of Yu'lon. Samandar was just a jeweler working with their father, but the world led them to a LOT of life changes. Well-spirited, inquisitive, and very vain like their partner. Despite the risk, the Void is a part of them, and they learned to accept it.

-- Caerisia Lunagrove (she/her, they/them) --

Night-Elf, Archdruid of the Silk (of a circle created by me, which venerates Aessina and Lady Sathrah, that I turned into a Wild Goddess), a Soulcaller (a druid capable of summoning mighty nature spirits). Caerisia is my non-binary "magical girl", my cheerful OC with a tragic past, innocent-looking but badass!

-- Verannor Moonsword (he/him)--

Night-Elf, Death Knight, affiliated with the Knights of the Ebon Blade and a faction of my creation called Winter's Envoys (which involves a little group of Green Dragons and Ardenweald). Verannor is one of my favorite types of character: the grumpy boy with a heart of gold + my favorite type of magic power — ice + the final touch of the flowing scarf.

I'll do here the same thing I'm doing on my other social media, posts about my OCs with their base info, to make it easy for new people to understand why I draw the same 6 characters so much. xD

Part 01 of 03:

- Ranah Ashentower (she/her) -

Gilnean, Worgen, Shalloril ("Blessed by the Night", a paladin of Elune). She is the beauty, the knight, and the beast in one. Carrying the qualities and defects of these three facets. She is always demanding herself to be better, feeling the guilt of having lost two homes.

- Lunnadan Niveoussoul (he/him) -

Night-Elf, High Priest of the Moon, the "big brother" of two moth-fairies (they decided that for him, no chance for protest), the husband with an abysmal crush for his wife, Ranah. Lunnadan is my soft bookworm nerd with a "dark side", much like his goddess.

Sketches of them after all Sunday writing about them.

The "other side" of the image below. Caerisia has her share of traumas to deal with. From abandonment to rejection and betrayal. She tends to isolate herself when they come to creep into her mind. But she has someone to help her.

These two care and take care a lot of each other

Verannor, to this day, still deals with nightmares from what he suffered. When it happens, it starts to snow and the place he is becomes very cold. Gladly now he has someone to take him out of these painful memories.

--------------------

Despite them being cute and happy in my drawings most of the time, Verannor and Caerisia are my most traumatized OCs. The poor things... ^^'

Verannor has been free from the Scourge for years, but to this day he still deals with intense nightmares from what he suffered. Every time it happens, it starts to snow and the place he is becomes very cold.

Gladly now he has someone to take him from these painful memories.

2014 / 2024

One of the first drawings, and the most recent. Ranah and Lunnadan have been with me for +10 years! I love them so much.

My magical girl with her magical creatures.

Caerisia is my Summoner inside of the WOW universe. She calls for spirits that live in a plane between the Emerald Dream and Ardenweald.

Her summons are: Laidesra (dragon), Yasome (spider), Yataga (bird), and Ginko (tree).

In her home in Ashenvale, Caerisia has a small room full of silk threads and webs, that gather moonlight droplets. Using them, she can compare the position of the droplets with the stars in the sky and have some kind of answer to her questions - it is a type of divination magic used by the Druids of the Silk. But the only answer she wants, she doesn't get. Caerisia and Verannor are searching for 3 lost green dragons, but they discover that another person is - for some reason - searching for them too. And not with good intentions. This is leaving her very frustrated, which makes Verannor worried. Caerisia can be very insistent and vindicative when provoked. And not because of the Night Warrior blessing - the elves who decided to carry it, made by their own volition, because it resonated with what they think and feel. She'll do wherever she needs to do to not let these dragons being hurt, which in turn can hurt her instead.

A (kind of failed) sketch which gained context, connected to the story of these two. I only have pieces of that story still, but I'll write in full someday.

-- The Winter's Envoys --

Another art for the story I wrote with my OCs.
