Finally got around to making a reference sheet for her.

Arklai lives on a barbaric fantasy world where magic is rare and either feared or worshiped. When an imbalance of power between the gods of this world erupts, Arklai is called upon by a magical Faerie-blessed sword to venture across the continent to find a runaway priest with the power to stop a calamity.

Arklai is a powerful swimmer and a skilled swordfighter. Her dragon heritage allows her to breathe fire. Arklai also has considerable blacksmithing skills. Forgable metal is scarce and the climate is warm, so most denizens of her world forgo armor, or only craft what is absolutely necessary, and wear little else. Only the highborn dragons can afford full plate armor. This isn't too much of a problem since Arklai's scales are a strong natural defense against slashing and arrows, but she needs to watch out for blunt force weaponry and spears. Arklai also knows a bit of "low" magic, a simple regeneration spell, but it doesn't do much good inside combat. She definitely leans more towards strength rather than speed.

Outside of the fray, Arklai is very easy going. She's a fan of showing off, wrestling, and telling terrible jokes. She's a decent cook, albeit bad at hunting food to do so.

Her favorite color is blue, and she snores loudly.

I'd hate to be her roommate with her snoring.

Nice character design! I love her horns, and her colour scheme!

Also, nice anatomy work! I love the thick, muscly body type you've given her; you've drawn it very well

Thanks. Course, she has to have the physique to be lugging that sword around.

A powerful swimmer, huh? Didn't expect that from a fire-breathing salamander dragon!

I like the mix of blues and reds, adds nice contrast. I also like the description: informative but not too long.

Thanks!

That tail fin isn't simply for show. The Salamander Dragons are somewhat aquatic, and are good swimmers. Though most are blue or teal colored and cannot breathe fire, occasionally red scaled ones are born who can.  They are one of the two species of dragon-folk on this world that are more often than not born without a breath-weapon.
