Description Was surprised to see the last thing I uploaded here was in 2016. On the other hand, I didn't draw much throughout that time. A lot changed in life. So, the first thing I upload after that long pause will be an OC - one, who is actually a character from before, renamed and completely redesigned.

Full name: Keeriah Sanderine
Alias(-es): Alterling (non-unique, insolent)
Age: 24
Height: 160 cm (5'3")
Species: Revora (dragonkin)
Character: Chaotic neutral
Affiliation: Scarletblack (Dragon Army spec-ops), provisional
Rank: Lieutenant, provisional

Bio:
Unlike most revorae as of late, Keeriah was not born one. Instead, she calls from a Morvenian Pact to the west of Draconia mainland. Daughter of the prominent Sanderine merchant family, she was involuntarily betrothed at the age of seven. Hating her fathers' choice of fiancee (at that time she was infatuated in one hunters' apprentice), Keeriah decided to run away with her beloved. While he didn't agree to run away as well, he trained her in the basics of hunting and survival for the next year. At the age of eight, she carried out her plan and the city of Kaanakt never saw her again.

After two years of lone struggle against difficulties of life away from civilization, in an unlikely stroke of luck, Keeriah met Is'reel, a dragoness who turned out to be the queen of Laatkaera - the dragon nation spanning through most of Draconia. The dragoness immediately became fond of the little girl who survived on her own in the wild for so long. Since Is'reel lost her own daughter, Rankhri, to a fratricidal son, she decided to adopt a child that impressed her. At the age of ten, Keeriah accepted the gift of dragon blood and throughout the next few days turned into a revora, or dragonkin.

Her "turned" status gave her a nickname of Alterling, an insolent descriptor of a revora that wasn't born with dragon blood. Also, the inherent dragonkin looked down upon her, though the status of "queen's favorite pet" put a brake on some of the more severe bullying. In spite of negative attitudes towards her, Keeriah worked hard to make up for the lacks in education through her "wild years". Eventually, she succeeded in that and surpassed almost all of her peers.

After finishing school, the influence of her "dragon mother" put her in the military academy, where her knack for tactics and logistics quickly drew an eye of tutors. And enemies. In the end, Keeriah finished the academy with a recommendation for special ops tactical command. And once she returns to Draconia after a year-long rite of passage, she is going to be the youngest Scarletblack lieutenant in history.
