Taemin: Fuck.
Here is the final Natlan Oc to celebrate 5.0
This is Lesedi! She is part dragonborne like Calinda, but sometimes dragonborne are born without their defining features (horns/ scales/ their fiery hair/ dragon features in general).
This lead to there being two separate dragonborne tribes: one near the savanah where the more human dragonborne can't be burned by the lava, and one where more dragon dragonborne can thrive.
Masego was originally seen as more human, so she was sent to the savannah tribe (or why her naming is different from Calinda, Calinda is Spanish in origin while Masego is African in origin from my knowledge, correct me if I'm wrong and I'll fix it) despite her being the next leader of the dragonborne by birth. But later on (the age of 10) Masego's horns and scales started to show, which is how they discovered that 'late bloomers' existed in their species. Masego was later allowed to return to the volcanic tribe, with her knowledge from both tribes, she was a more fair and open minded leader.
Lesedi represents both of the tribes in the tournament going on in Natlan to make it fair. Since a more dragon dragonborne would easily sweep the competition. Lesedi is more of a historian than a fighter however, despite having a Pyro vision on her back.
Her scar tattoos are meant to represent injuries she sustained protecting a historical tome important to their tribe from bandits before gaining her vision. To match the Pyro vision holder theme, her parents were also historians, so she is sustaining their legacy through her work.
Note: the flower on Lesedi's head is known as a 'Lava Lily' and is a material needed to level up those native to the dragonborne tribes. These are often found near dormant and flowing lava flows.
Note 2: Lesedi is currently 25 years old.
will draw more art of my ocs after playing the natlan story quest.
