I would love to learn some more about Sephria, her design is super cool!! :D
(Also, do you have a rough estimate of how long it'll be before our trio meets up with her in the comic?)
Hehe I would never turn down a chance to yap about Sephria >:) her design is one of my favourites, so you're getting an essay XD
Some species lore: Sephria's species is called the Ra'bac, they're essentially a beetle-person. They're usually slightly taller than humans (Sephria is 186cm), and have 4 arms, 4 wings, elytra, antennae, ear holes instead of ears, and very dark skin with a green tint. The wings and anettae colour vary like eye colour, most of the time they're some form of blue-green.
Sometimes though, their features (like wings, eyes, hair, skin) can be gold or have gold patches, and they consider those people to be closer to their goddess. Because of that, people with those features tend to have higher expectations of them / more responsibilities when it comes to the well-being of the clan.
Sephria having golden wings / partially golden hair is the reason she was trained to be a strong fighter, and why she's chosen to get involved later in the story. There are some more details there, but that would get into spoilers XD
Anyway, Sephria in particular takes her responsibilities VERY seriously, and can come off as rude/aloof. She does have some anger issues (with valid reasoning behind it), so she can be a little "violence is the solution", but her discipline helps keep it in check. The Ra-bac are from the eastern-most part of Tobryna, so she's met both Artlem and Shole a couple times in the past. (Both if them are also from Tobryna, which is a big place, but Artlem's clan are basically nomads and have good relationships with all the other clans)
Here are some concept sketches from awhile back for different types of clothes the Ra'bac could wear, it's usually attached around the neck or arms because their wings get in the way.
Oh yeah, cursed fact: like some bugs/animals, the Ra-bac can survive in a zombie-like state for a while without their head.
As far as when she shows up in the story...I'm going to say about halfway. So unfortunately it'll still be a little bit😅 Right now I'd say we're a bit less than 1/4 of the way through. I'm trying to find ways to get the chapter out faster while still looking a way I'm happy with because I really want to get things moving...but it's hard T_T
So here's some more art of Seph in the meantime :]
