Felicia Lim, one of my OCs whom I haven't drawn much of in the last few years. Not pictured is the owl-face mask she usually wears during combat.
Backstory/character summary under the cut
Felicia was a dancer in childhood, later switching to martial arts after her brother died from an asthma attack on the way to one of her dance recitals. She eventually gave up on martial arts in highschool to focus on getting into a good university, but failed the entrance exams of all of her preferred schools.
Feeling lost, she decided to take a gap year to spend some time with her relatives in Korea. During the plane ride abroad, there was a hardware malfunction and the plane had to make an emergency landing.
Most of the passengers survived the crash, and Felicia was believed to be one of the few people who recieved minimal injuries. In truth, she was actually full of tiny bits of shrapnel and her condition rapidly deteriorated within the next few hours. She eventually died in transit to a hospital, awakening to the Dream with the power to conjur a storm of sharp objects around her.
As a Dreamer, her calling is defense and rescue, bailing out fellow Dreamers from being consumed by Nightmares that were too strong for them to hunt. Given that most Nightmares, hostile Dreamers, and even some of the stronger Denizens of the Dream can shrug off her little shrapnel attacks, she prefers using large blades during her rescues instead. It also means there's less of a danger of accidentally peppering her charges with hundreds of small cuts.
