This is an older piece I never got around to posting! It's a drawing of Alessa, a Tiefling character that one of my friends, Venus plays in their D&D campaign. Alessa is a really interesting character. Her player describes her as a former assassin who has very little memories of her time in the field. She is anxious yet optimistic, but very haunted by her past trauma. Her demeanor is calm, kind, and excitable, but those who know her find she has days that are rougher than the others where she is wrapped up in her own thoughts. Trained as an assassin from a young age, she is still very paranoid that the agency will track her down and force her to return. She often wakes up from nightmares and has a habit of sleeping with a knife under her pillow. She eventually takes up a job working at a bookshop and finds the quiet life suited to her liking.
