Here’s my contribution to pride month
My OC, Kaiana Bathild as a lawyer again. This time in a darker au where she manipulates people and the case ad often causes an innocent person to be convicted just so she wins. Isn’t she lovely?
Early concept of Lailia's most trusted knight. She still looks the same now, but the armour design changed. Her names Kaiana, and she would do anything for Lailia.
Fun facts about some of my DS ocs:
I imagine that if Kaiana and Lailia were actually in game universe, Kaiana would be an ncp you meet in the first game while Lailia only being mentioned. Also Kaiana would help the player with bossfights, while also kinda hinting that the player should be careful to trust what everyone says.
Lailia would appear in game three, where you could actually interact with her and if the player goes to her after killing Aldrich she'll give the player one of her swords as a sign of gratitude.
Lailia was raised in Anor Londo, and knows Gwyn's children personally.
Lailia has many titles "the Demi-Goddess of Rebirth and Balance" and "the Zygomorphous Child" are just two of them, but she prefers to just be called Lailia.
Kaiana is Lailia's most trusted companion, and its said she was trained by Gwyns own knights. Though theres no proof besides hearsay.
Lailia isn't truly a Demi-God, that isn't entirely correct in what she is, but most people don't mind to correct it.
Lailia has two swords, similar to the Dancer in DS3, one is coated in light and the other in dark.
The "balance" that Lailia is a God for, is actually light and dark. As in shes the balance of the two.
When Lailia dies, she is brought back as a child. She can never truly die, unless a certain weapon is used against her.
I imagine if you kill Kaiana, she would drop her sword and a note written by Lailia that it was a 'Good luck note, hoping it would help return Kaiana safely home'. If you kill Lailia she would drop a signature blue flower.
That's all I can think about rn. Theres WAY more but that would spoil some stuff.
A pinup of Kaiana
I've a character, her name is Kaiana, and she's one of those "always angry (quiet) until she's angry (breaking your limbs)" and it took me forever to figure out what her sexuality is.
Originally I was gonna go ace, but like idk, "oh look she's ace because she doesn't have time for sex she's just angry" feels a bit insuring to my ace siblings.
Then I wanted to make her a lesbian, but like. Oh look. Another tall, angry, muscular lesbian. How original.
THEN I was like "oh she should be pan, because god knows pan people have the stereotype of being big softies and that would maybe help break it" and then I was like "no, it doesn't really vibe with her, and bi doesn't fit either.
And then, and then I got my answer. I got the conclusion that was the best.
It doesn't matter. It wouldn't change anything in the story. I don't need to answer the question.
There's no greater point to this post. I just decided to share that.
