Hair bun is high by default, but falls over the day. Stylistic choice: I try to keep it visible from any angle, even if it realistically wouldn’t be, for recognizability.
key traits
Tall, wide, angular. Wears a military shirt, fingerless gloves, and stern expression. Often standoffish; can appear imposing. Easily rattled, however, and noticeably so; prone to stuttering and bouts of agitated, repetitive motions (which often involve the hands).
Associated with dull yellow. (May appear, but shouldn’t actually be, green—a rare instance of hex codes being important.)
actual notes
Important: Defined face shape, more squarish than triangular. The nose is just as pronounced, with a noticeable indent at the top and bump at the tip. Stylistic decision: At most angles, I push the jaw out for extra distinction.
Eyebrows are rough and trail off at the end. Personal technique: I basically just scribble horizontally, erase a bit in the same direction, then vertically erase & redraw a few stray lines at the outer end.
Eyes are deep-set; I don’t always draw this but think it makes her look more tired, which is usually fitting.
Skin is covered in scratch marks and acne scars, especially on the arms, hands, and face. Important: Hands are always a mess, which the gloves don’t fully hide; the face marks I usually don’t draw, for visual clarity. Mark placement isn’t consistent.
