Ursa, The Hearthkeeper of the Starseeker tribe!

A bit of lore: -She/They! -Since the previous Heartkeeper retired since they are very old, she took over after the Calamity. She's been an apprentice to previous Heartkeepers since she got inspiration as a younger Miqo'te! -She *loves* cooking for people and seeing their smiles! Her warm and sunny personality makes every meal and service a delight. -I had the idea of adding a streak of white to her hair from the trauma of the Calamity, but haven't added it to this portrait. -Yes, the ties in her hair are the lesbian flag colors ;3 -They gives amazing hugs! Has the perfect arms for it too. -Keeper of the Moon, but she's very sunny in vibe ^^ -One of her visual inspirations (an for her more rounded ears), was a brown bear! -When not working on feeding the tribe and processing what they hunt and forage/trade for, she loves to get to know other culinary traditions, dishes and try new ingredients (no matter how weird they may be to some). -Though the pressure of her new role is great, and at times she can buckle a bit under it, but she knows her tribe and friends have her back. -Yes the handles of the pot have cat ears! ^v^ (Shoutout to MonHun being such a huge inspiration for the Starseekers!) Enjoy!! I love this piece so so much <3 Tags/comments/reblogs are much much appreciated!! (Do not use works without permission)
