Kill the Goddess!-Nadia: Nadia is a member of the Company. At seventeen years old, she is a trained warrior under the Order of Nirvena, goddess of wisdom (now deceased no thanks to Bianca). Her reason for joining this quest is perhaps the saddest of the Company. Her father was smitten with Bianca, making him push aside both his daughter and his wife. When he refused to kill then seven year-old Nadia as proof of his love for Bianca, he was consumed by the Goddess's wrath. In jealousy, Bianca turned Nadia's mother into a weeping doll and left her all alone. Now that Nadia is stronger and older, she's ready to restore her mother from her curse and get revenge.
Inspiration: With Nadia's character, as you shall see in future sketches and panels, I tried going against the grain of typical Mary Sue characters. Rather than make her strong and confident as all heck, she's a very reserved, sad young woman who often forgets that despite her circumstances, she is not in this alone. (Her outfit is loosely based off of light ancient Roman armor)
Tools: Pencil (outlining), Prismacolor pens and Faber-Castell watercolor pencils.
