Art: The elementalist

Doodle of my elementalist, Mysteria. I adore f!eles and their dresses, very nice. 
Mii and her family are probably my most well developed stock characters story wise. She has two older siblings - middle sister Nikol and eldest brother Victor. They're all nobility. Their mother is an elementalist but father -  a wizard. Mii's mother was a fiery and fierce woman but an arranged marriage turned her life dull. She learned to somehow love her husband but both generally have neutral feelings towards each other. There were some ups and downs, which are mirrored in how their children grew up.

The eldest son, who unlike his fiery mother possesses the element of ice is a direct result of a slowly growing tolerance towards an arranged marriage. Victor grew up pragmatic and quiet, it is hard to get a reaction out of him. He is quite open minded and takes everything with a grain of salt.

Their second child, Nikol, is a product of the father taking over childcare. She is aggressive and adheres to the noble lifestyle strictly, perhaps being a wizard is what put off her mother. Nikol gives Mii a lot of grief as she feels like she has to be a good role model.

Mysteria is the youngest of three and is much like her mother in looks and personality. Her mother became overprotective and this often created tension between her and Nikol who believed it was her duty to take care of Mii. The girl bonded with her brother as his very calm personality was a good match for her own impulsiveness. It was Mii who gained permission to travel to the New World, but under one condition - her siblings had to come with her. 

Victor took it easy, at the time he was betrothed to a woman who bored him more than life did. He silently hoped the ship would sway and he'd fall in the water, alas, the siblings arrived in Coimbra.
Nikol was terrified of the New World and all the things it could bring, but even more she dreaded the port city which was a den of street rats, thugs and prostitutes, among other things.

Mii was hopeful, she had very romantic thoughts about the New World. Her goal was to find new friends and maybe even love; she, much like her mother, wanted to make her own choices in life but with a strict sister on her neck it was more than difficult. The girl prevailed in the end and found many likeminded individuals, the New World was full of adventure loving girls with strong personalities. 
 
Love, however, is a different story...
