Description "So yeah, she's a former slave, she's abused, she's angry and she's out for revenge. This crazy bitch ain't gonna stop until Pardis is ash and rubble."

"Some women just want to watch the world burn."

"Exactly"

-conversation between and myself.

Neila, the Overlord of Fire; vengeful former slave and pyromaniacal arsonist.

Whilst Kaseem represents the passionate aspect of fire, I wanted her to represent the destructive aspect.

Thanks to I took some of his ideas and played a bit more on her Hakujin heritage, as well as her history as a slave, hence the manacles. Also I had been playing with the idea of a scar over her right eye due to a cruel former master.

Granted, she now has no depth perception, but when you hurl bursts of flame indiscriminately, who needs to aim, really?

Also at this point i started to realize all my women had near identical facial structure, possessing soft, rounded features.

So using a pic of Kate Beckinsale (Yes I'm aware Neila looks nothing like her) as reference, I set to giving her a stronger jaw and make her Caucasian heritage a bit more apparent.

Also, since the Hakujin race are a cultural blend of Japanese and Gwailo, I experimented with her clothes a bit.

Quite pleased with the previous design, I stripped her down a bit up top and lengthened her shorts to knee-length breeches.

pointed out that for someone who slings fire around, she wore a lot of fabric, so I made the pants leather whilst the only prominent items of clothing are the skirt and obi around her waist.

I have two basic rules on 'showing the sexy' for characters. It's very simple...

1.) when covering the upper body, show a lot of leg.
2.) when covering up the lower quarters, show some shoulder.

Also I made her a smoker, cos I liked the idea of her putting a cigarette between her teeth and it lighting by itself.

Also, I gave her freckles. I like freckles on redheads.

Here she is in her colored glory thanks to the ever patient and talented

The city of Pardis and all its inhabitants are part of a unique world inspired by the old D&D setting Al'Qadim and Medinaat Al Salam and the Ivory Kingdoms from AEG's Legend of the Burning Sands.

Hate is not far removed from love ...perhaps there might be a (very risky)way to stall her destructive aims ^,,-

Thanks to the talented efforts of ! My initial draft had a lot of color clashing and after around an hour of experimentation we finally got it.

As for the outfit yeah am really pleased with it meself; makes her look like a real tough lass despite the amount of skin on show.

Thanks! I'm still ironing out her character but chose a driven sort of anger for her rather than just a fire-slinging psycho.
