"It's a beast! She's got fangs, razor sharp ones! Massive paws, killer claws for the feast! Hear her roar, see her foam, but we're not coming home till she's dead! Good ans dead!!"

"Is there anything so undoing as a daughter," ahh character

Fun Fact about Eerika, she is now a certified daddy's girl. A brat to end all brats, I'm talking Jinx from Arcane levels of dependence on her dad.

While she dosen't play a role in Eerikas life, I thought I'd give her mom a design and some lore for fun

I'm gonna draw more sketches of her (and Eerika) soon, but for now enjoy the ref sheet and some fun facts.

Fun facts about Eerikas mom:

- She’s a hermit that lived in the woods and studies plants

- She doesn’t talk much…like at all. She either communicates with expressions, writing, or hand signs. It’s not that she can’t talk she just chooses not to most of the time

- It’s not really clear who’s side she’s on (dragon riders or hunters) because in truth she doesn’t really care. She just wants to sit in the forest and look at her plants

- She taught Viggo about a lot of poisonous plants that effected not only people but dragons

- No one knows what happened to her after Eerikas birth. Viggo just visited her cabin one day and discovered baby Eerika sleeping soundly all bundled up. Her entire cabin was cleaned out meaning she deliberately left, however where she went after that is unknown

- This isn't lore, but Yew (the plant) is a symbolism for doom and I thought that was cool

Is now a good time to say Eerika is no longer apart of the dragon riders and is now fully raised by her dad, Viggo?

Their sharing their tragic backstories. Maybe they'll kiss afterwards 👀
