Introducing Taara!
So a bit of backstory for y'all, Taara Gaefillia is both my main sona and DnD character!
I was able to have this ref drawing thanks to my wonderful friend Yaso, the absolute sweetheart who gave this to me as a birthday gift<3
This is what she generally looks like! She's of an original species I've been developing called felyns but thats for another post ≽(•⩊ <マ≼ because we're here to talk about Cier!Taara ie the Hyun's Dojo version of her
Much like the original she's still an apothecary but rather then her druid magic she has a good grasp on healing magic combined with her vast alchemy/apothecary knowledge skill that allows her to infuse potions w higher amounts of magic, making her a damn good healer
Main way of self-defense is to use specialized vials of potions to incapacitate an attacker such as paralyzing agents and freeze generally. She also knows a handy amount of martial arts & has hand-to-hand combat knowledge so she can defend herself if shit gets up close but she mainly tries to stay long range. Her weapon of choice is typically a quarterstaff (which she affectionally calls her bonk stick). She retains her ability to shift into a serval, and she cannot transform into anything else unless via a potion or someone else casting a spell on her
Im taking take some inspo from RWBY and say she occasionally grinds Cierites into a powder to mix in certain potions for a helluva extra kick, and im reusing my nail polish idea too (she puts poisons in the lacquer she uses on her claws to help keep them from cracking)
As a bonus here's a link to the Pinterest board of stuff that inspired her!!
