Little Red — Description
I feel... odd. Uhm. Didn't sleep last night very much~
So I answered some messages this morning and then went to do my volunteer work thing... then, like... so tired.
Heh. I was supposed to go see a hockey game but... stayed home instead.
Ended up drawing this~

Zinrea! God, I'm so glad I gave Teighbe and her designs... they are both so fun to draw now!
Also... I was having some difficulty deciding whether her horn... spike... things.... should be long or short.
But I think this picture cinched it for me.
Shit, I keep misspelling.
Uh... watch rambly comments change tomorrow!

HAH! Old comments weren't just rambling... they made very little sense. ;u;

Uhm. I guess I'll try to translate the more... important parts, but I feel worse today than I did yesterday!

I am so glad I gave Zinrea and Teighbe their redesigns. I find them newly inspiring, and incredibly fun to draw as they are now.
I was having trouble deciding whether Zinrea should have longer or shorter spikes, but this drawing helped solidify my decision; I think the longer spikes suit her.

About Zinrea:
She has an odd manner of speaking, and often uses odd lingo and slang that is unique to her kind, oblivious to the difficulties others have understanding her.
She is a bit brash, but good natured and a pacifist at heart.

Obligatory retelling of crap background info.

Zinrea was initially trained to be a temple guard. Her default weapon was a pike, but if she were to be without it or at a disadvantage otherwise, she was also trained to use the needles (seen here attached to her clothing, and between her fingers) at close range as a last ditch effort.

She no longer has that role, nor her armour or pike. Zinrea's first encounter with proper battle, an actual assault on the temple, was a complete failure. She panicked and ran from combat. The citadel itself was fine, having other sentries to deal with the problem, but due to her behaviour, Zin was removed from service as a guard. However, she was not expelled from the holy place in any way. Her species is cherished by the temple, the few individuals within its walls were said to be the only still living specimens. She was still considered quite useful… for continuation of the bloodline.

This was not a fate she was happy with. Zinrea fled that night.

The needles were the only objects she really took with her when she left the temple (she was rather overloaded already by having to deal with Teighbe), simply because they were attached to her clothing at the time. However, they are much more useful for her life as it is now than any other form of weapon would be.
She much prefers a peaceful life, staying out of trouble as she and Teighbe search for her birthplace, but Zinrea keeps the needles on her person at all times, as they are a bit more useful for self defense than most of her spikes would be (and a thagomizer isn't exactly the easiest thing to attack successfully with.

(Haha, oh, god. I looked at some old deviations of her to see what I'd written about her. Had one from over a year ago. Ohhh man it looked bad. XD I'm so glad I've redesigned them... and improved since then. ono )

Note to self: Draw Zinrea's back tattoos soon.
