Apparently word has spread to the 5 people in the Bothan fandom that I am the go-to artist, because I've been getting quite a few commission requests lately.

Anyway, this is for my buddy Amelia She also plays a Bothan character in a Star Wars RPG, although her group is playing Age of Rebellion, while ours is playing Edge of the Empire. I don't normally take fashion design commissions, but she was nice enough to pay me to draw my own chars in addition to hers, so how could I say no?

The expanded universe doesn't agree on what Bothans look like, much less what they wear, so I was pretty much free to just make shit up. I figure that in the present era, Bothans tend to dress in cosmopolitan clothes (human or other alien styles that are popular on the core worlds, for instance), but that in ye olden times these sorts of outfits were more common. Nowadays, traditional clothing is reserved for formal events like political gatherings, weddings, and whatnot. The sash thingies are something I invented: the gold medallions showcase each clan's symbol, while the black ribbons are soaked in a special perfume unique to each clan. This allows their wearers to easily identify fellow clan members, allies, rivals, and enemies by both sight and smell, which is super handy in a society filled with power-hungry little buggers who are constantly spying on one another.

LEFT GROUP
-Dall Liska'vys (red) - my character Jastra's sister. A slicer and secret rebel agent who's currently in hiding. Tight-lipped, principled, and marches to the beat of her own drum. Perpetually glued to her communicator and/or computer.
-Koskit Sol'lon (purple) - my character's longtime crush and mysterious benefactor. Is a walking, talking vault of secrets. Possibly a high-ranking rebel operative. Possibly a crime lord. Definitely richer than you.
-Jastra Liska'vys (orange) - my character. An explorer/doctor/slicer and general mischief-maker. Extremely intelligent, though you wouldn't guess it from her wacky antics. Probably smoking Z-weed at this very moment.

RIGHT GROUP
-Shayl Fiar'ra (blue) - Amelia's character. A rebel pilot and constant grump. She has a huge potty mouth and is basically a one-woman tsunderestorm. Can most likely out-drink you.
-Tresk Kith'ges (green) - Shayl's rival. He's full of himself and is a bit of a perv, but deep down, he's actually a decent guy - just don't expect Shayl to admit that. Way too proud of his beard.
-Biree Fiar'ra (white) - Shayl's sister. A debutante and diplomat who is a huge sweetheart. She's a master of soft power, kinda like Josephine from Dragon Age Inquisition. Gets a lot of attention for her rare white fur.

EDIT: Since our games are set in the same era, we played 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon with our characters and decided that Biree dated one of Koskit's younger brothers when they were teenagers. Bam! Our plots are connected. Tangentially.
