Fearless — Description
Fox/Celeste Auger from the book series "Reckless" by Cornelia Funke.
Watercolour.

It's been a while but as I wait for the third installment of the Reckless series to arrive in the mail (haven't read it yet!), I was inspired to paint Fox. She has always been my favorite character in the books and honestly, where would Jacob be without her?

---------------------------------------------------------------
"At the age of seven she had saved a wounded vixen from her two elder brothers and their sticks, and the next day she had found the furry dress on her bed. It had given her the body she had come to regard as her true self, and Fox's greatest fear was that someday someone might steal the dress and take the fur away from her.

[...] He kept reminding her that she would one day lose her human form if she kept wearing her fur too long, even though he knew that, should Fox ever be forced to decide, she would always choose the fur."
