Description Oh gosh, I keep forgetting I have these drawing just taking up space in my Sta.sh
Whelp, might as well get to posting, lol.  Idk if any of my older watchers will remember my other DC OC, Candice, but I've had her and Mags around for a while and I'm making a resolution to do more stuff with them.  SO, be prepared to see them more; especially in collabs with my awesome bois.

This is my second attempt drawing Candy, you can find the first here

Name: Candice Yacoub
Age: Early twenties
Birthday:  December 13
Height: 4’ 11” or  5’2” in heels.
Weight: 96 lbs.
Eyes: Green and gold
Hair: A wavy, medium-shade of brown
Political views: Liberation 
Occupation: Junior Legal Exec. at Empire Industries / Currently Head of the Empire pharmaceutical division office at Gotham City

History Notes: Child of poor, hard-working Hasina Yacoub, who immigrated to America from Qurac when she (a political/women’s rights activist) was framed for a crime she didn’t commit.  Once here, her mother settled down and married a local businessman, Charles Clark.  Candice was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas; it was instilled in her at a young age (particularly her mother, with whom she has a close bond with) that she was special but that even in the land of opportunity she must work hard to get anywhere in life. And work hard she did! Her desire to make her mother proud intensified when Hasina left the family to return to Qurac to "continue the fight", however she was never seen or heard from again.  This spurred her to study her tail off all while helping her father run the many small business he owned throughout the city.  She graduated high school at 14, went to college to earn a bachelor's in law, and then went on earned a Masters in finance at a young age. While in school for her Masters, she met and became friends with Veronica Cale, who was so impressed by this young southern woman’s ambition (Cale saw her as a younger version of herself) that she gave Candice a job the moment she graduated.

Her Story So Far:  After a terrifying attack by Circe; Veronica Cale promotes her to Gotham to run the office building Cale owns there with occasional supervision from the mysterious Donna Milton.  While there, Candice begins dating Joseph Kane, however it my have come at a bad time for both of them.  Candice tries to balance this as well as her boss's strange behavior; what will she find if starts digging? 

Personality Notes: Candice is a brilliant (if not a bit shallow and spoiled), hard-core career woman who prides herself on how successful her hard work has made her. In fact, she has a beautiful up-scale condo that she hardly spends any time in, because she keeps herself busy keeping the Empire office in Gotham working like a well-oiled machine. She is extremely competitive and has been known to be quite ruthless in dealing with anyone foolish enough to come between her and something she wants. She has little patience for fools and people who are ungrateful for what they have. Second to work ethic, gratefulness is the most important thing to her. Getting married and having a family couldn’t be any more on the bottom of her list.


NOTE:  Given that DC Rebirth is changing some things up with Veronica Cale,  Candy's info might be changed up a bit as Cale's role after this current story arc makes things clear.   We'll just have to wait and see. 

Veronica Cale, Circe, and Gotham City belongs to DC Comics
Joseph Kane belongs to dkalban
Character and art belongs to me

Okay, I just went back and found out Veronica Cale is from Texas.... Wow, A Texan Supervillian, that's like a unicorn. (Becomes starry eyed)

You have a well written character too.

Is it that special? O3o
In some ways a Texas Billionaire​ villain makes sense to me

Thanks so much, she story is somewhat of a work-in-progress

I lived in Texas for like six months in high school. I know how they do XD

She's actually been the main villain in current Wonder Woman series right now. I highly recommend it. It's written by Greg Rucka, Cale's OG creator.

So I'm sure her origin is mainly inact, especially since I'm pretty sure I caught her wearing cowboy boots in the lastest issue.

  Awkward~~ Oh well, I still recommend it cuz it amazing!

I'm working incorporating her into Rebirth's cannon; it's a little tricky since this current story arc isn't over yet.

Interesting young woman. Concerned, at least in the health side of things (work in healthcare) that Candice being 22 or 23 and not even 100 pounds is a issue.

Well she is 4' 11" and according to the height and weight chart I looked up; a "recommend" weight was between 91-123 pounds.

She's a busy af, small-framed lady, so it made sense to me. Plus she'll gain a little bulk later on.

So she's gymnast size, Gabby Douglass and Simone Biles by comparison. Cool

O.o Yeah kinda like that, this is just arc 1 Candice so there's no much going on skill-wise just yet but she does keep herself fit.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. It gave me some stuff to consider. I try to put some thought into my characters body types and thier practicalities.

I will be honest, despite everything I know about Candice (and everything I read here I have heard before) I do really like her character. Ambition makes for some hard to like characters but the way she goes about it is what makes her endearing, she has worked hard for everything she has and works hard for everything she is going to get, her effort matters and so I can understand her lacking social skills but I like that she's not arrogant (a bit shallow and spoiled true but she's worked for all she has). She is an impressive character from her beginning and I know she will continue to impress as she goes on.

"Lacking social skills?"  That's an interesting observation given that she's a business woman

Also thank you,  you were very on point identifying what I am trying to convey with her.

Candice is an impressive character, not just in action but as a person. You create very interesting people
