#but Nemo very much loves her brainchildren

[nemo-of-house-hamartia]

Not me realizing that basically Baby Phillip, Baby Charles, and Baby Dorothea are the human equivalent of Huey, Dewey, and Louie 😂😂😂 (I will let you imagine who is who lolol).

Sorry, I had to share this because it just came to my mind and it made me chuckle so much. I just love my Starrick Triplets too much lol.

(of course, Crawford Starrick would be Scrooge McDuck, like, it goes without saying.)

"Through the darkened fields entranced Music made her poor heart dance Thinking of a lost romance Long ago

Feeling lonely, feeling sad She cried in the moonlight Driven by a world gone mad She took flight

"Feel no sorrow, feel no pain Feel no hurt, there's nothing gained Only love will then remain," She would say

Shadow of the Moon"

Evening evening everyone! :)

Just passing by and dropping this little thing that I worked on in the past couple of days.

I wasn't feeling that well, and whenever it happens, I just retreat to my usual hermit self and watch movies and whatnot.

So, the other day, I was watching LotR: The Two Towers, what these books and this trilogy had meant to me when I was a friendless, traumatized teen. They had been my safe haven for a long time, allowing me to find refuge when the world around me was too much for me to handle.

And it was in that period of time that my first proper OC was born, the one that would go on and influence many of my subsequent brainchildren, and the very first one that allowed me to pour all my hopes and dreams into her story. She would also be the one that has lasted the longest in my mind, having worked on her from 2001 until 2015.

That OC is my Elwen Ithildin, Elf Maiden of the House of Celeborn and probably the reason why, believe it or not, I managed to keep my mental health during those awful years.

I wanted to depict her passing her "duty" to Dorothea, the darling brainchild that has been keeping me company all throughout the pandemic and continue to do so to this day. :)

A small fun fact!

By now, you know that Dorothea is known as the "Morning Star"; well, that minuscule detail was actually a sort of personal homage that I did to Elwen and her status, in my old stories, as the "North Star": an ever fixed light in the darkness, a light that would always guide the wanderers through the night <3

(yes, I am obsessed with astronomy, so, as I said multiple times, the whole Sun/Moon/Star theme will be omnipresent in all my characters <3).

I hope you will like this <3

So, after yesterday's post, @havatnah and @giuliettaluce convinced me to share the old OC (more specifically Ranian, because she was the one I was referring to yesterday, and how she inspired Dorothea subsequentially when I approached Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Also, fun fact, Ranian was the first one of my ocs to be drawn digitally. I still have a photo of the picture lol), but because I love all my FF ladies very much still, I decided to redraw all the three of them.

So, from left to right, you have Her Excellency Nabyrie Alyja Ondore, Marchioness to the Skycity of Bhujerba and Empress of the Archadian Empire, married to Emperor Larsa Ferrinas Solidor in one heck of arranged marriage. Her heart, however, belongs to one man alone: Vossler,the Knight of Dalmasca that has forever stolen her heart.

She Belongs to FFXII, and her story is both heartbreaking and quite complicated (but then again, if you have known me for sometimes, what's new?lol), but it's probably my favourite, because of all the political intrigue that brought her to become Empress and, of course, the tormented love story behind it all. The first love and second love discovered through pain and life.

And last, but not least, Kiani Ronso, my tough, mysterious girl that walks around Spira trying to find a purpose in her existence. Her heritage is quite interesting, seeing that her mother is an Al-Bhed (as seen in the spiral pupils) and her father belongs to the Ronso Tribe, and as such, she has been considered most of her life an abomination by the people around her. But my girl is tough, and she always took immense pride in both her mother's and father's lineage Because of her mother's passing when she was a newborn, she was raised by her papa among the peaks and nooks of cold Mount Gagazet, and it would be there where she meets Auron, the one she would end up falling for.

Besides her, with that strawberry golden hair and cute dimples, sits Madame Ranian Crepuscolo Pendragon-ShinRa, daughter of the Archiduchess and Archiduke of Veréne (a small duchy in the Icicle Area, close to the Sleeping Forest). As her name indicates, she is connected to the Shin-Ra Family, through the arranged marriage to the patriarch of the family, and much like Nabyrie, her own story has its share of sadness, and if you know the story of FFVII, you know why.

She, along with all her family, belong to the world of FFVII.

She belongs to the beautiful world of FFX

so here you have some small info about my Final Fantasy Girls.

Also, allow me to share some of my old artworks with them. I am happy to see that my style has improved since then.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask, I am always happy to talk about my older brainchildren. They are as beloved as my new one.

Hope you will like them. <3
