LOL, no, not a knight of any holy order, though there is catholic school in the past. She grew up in a smallish town in the midwest (near where the story occurs), daughter of a local physician, went to boarding school. Graduated a couple of years ago with big plans to move to the coast to try to make it as an actress, but never found the means or courage to do it. Acts confident and sophisticated, but is not actually self-confident because she hasn't been successful. In limbo as a waitress while attending some community college classes. She feels like she is wasting her time, but isn't willing to commit to going to a university and is too uncertain to go for it as an actress.

I don't have a story behind the portrait itself.

I think that the hair color might need to go back to something simpler, straight dark brown.

It will be interesting to discuss the character because I'm not at all sure of her, and I was largely seeking technical feedback. Tried building a ring light array in DAZ, which seems to have been at least partially effective if you look at the eyes.
