More art of my ruby dragon, Sidrastrasza. I chose to have her take the form of a Lightforged draenei, given the elaborate horns, the golden eyes, and just general look and feel of the race. Though she is not actually Lightforged herself, she can be mistaken for such despite the fact that she makes it fairly clear what she is. :) This piece was done by Lylenn over on Twitter, and I can’t thank her enough for how pretty Sidra turned out. 💖

There was a ‘mutual OC meme’ going around Twitter, and Kirita Windwalker ( @kiritawindwalker ) (@huntressfinoa) was very kind to draw my ruby dragon, Sidra! I love the colours, and as always, the hair is my favourite part!  Thank you so much again for making her so prettyful!  💗

✨ About Sidra ✨

Empathetic, compassionate, and a staunch defender of life, Sidrastrasza is a soul who has seen much pain throughout her years, yet she has not allowed herself to become consumed by her grief and sorrow.

(Caution: The remaining ‘About’ section contains an allusion to sexual violence and brief mentions of child homicide.) 

Once, she was a broodmother and matriarch to countless young whelplings, but with the coming of Deathwing and the rise of the Twilight dragonflight, many of her children were lost. The eggs unhatched that remained were snatched up - and so was she - captured and hidden away in the Twilight Highlands for some time before eventually being taken to the depths of Deepholm.

With so many of her hatchlings lost, Sidra fell to sorrow and despair. As only two of her eggs remained unharmed, she as well as her unborn whelplings were presented to a member of the Twilight Dragonflight, a male whose mind and heart had been corrupted. He quickly asserted himself as her newfound consort and 'father' to the remaining pair.

Unfortunately for Sidra, even after Deathwing's fall, she was not freed from her bondage. Her will remained strong, surviving for not only herself but also her remaining children, refusing to let her whelps be addled by the promises of the Old Ones. Though it proved an almost impossible feat to keep them from the whispers, she managed to retain her own sanity while working hard to prevent her youngest from being corrupted.

It was only through the assistance of the Earthen Ring that Sidra and her babes were finally freed. A young shamaness by the name of Inaarah managed to help organize a rescue for Sidrastrasza as well as her whelplings, though the experience left the three dragons forever changed..

✨ A few random facts.. ✨

💜 Sidrastrasza participated in the war against Deathwing, and thus has a strong dislike/distrust of black dragonkind; surprisingly, she does not hate them, despite the atrocities that were committed against her kin. 

💜 Though unable to bear children any longer (as far as she is aware), Sidra is still a mother to two small crimson whelps. It is her hope that someday, a cure may be found for the dragons’ infertility.

💜 Sidra is quite fond of dance; she enjoys it so much that she has spent a considerable amount of time studying the artform and learning the traditional dances of many races found throughout Azeroth.

💜 She enjoys the cuisine of many cultures, and as a result? She loves to cook! Sidra especially takes pleasure in creating various kinds of dishes that feature seafood, grains, olives, and goat cheese. She has also mastered the art of making baklava, a type of filo pastry of chopped nuts and spices soaked in honey.

💜 As a dragon, she is a capable shapeshifter and has many ‘personas’ when it comes to masquerading as the other races. She is most fond of appearing as a horned elf or as a draenei. For the most part, she does not usually conceal what she is. 

💜 She is unconcerned with the petty squabblings of the two most prominent factions, and thus will not be partaking in the Alliance-Horde war (of BfA.) Her worries lie on the greater scale, and will rise to combat any threats to Azeroth herself.
