Description
A portrait I created a while back of one of my own RPG characters - Kohana Veladorn, Elven sorceress and bard in the Forgotten Realms. I'd planned a color version of this piece, as the pencil doesn't fully do her justice I think. Kohana's mother was a Sun Elf sorceress from the eastern kingdom of Aglarond, but her father was a Drow (dark elf), a weapons master from a noble house of Menzoberanzzan. They fled together as refugees of their own homelands to the far northern realm of the Silver Marches, where their daughter, Kohana, was born and raised in Silverymoon. Kohana's coloring reflects an interesting blend of her parents' own - her hair a pale, pearly white like her father but with hints of her mother's gold. Her skin is a sun-kissed nut brown like her mother's, but with a dark ashen undertone - a remnant of her father's ebony black. Her eyes are the luminous blue green of a surface elf, but her stature and height (5' 11") traces to her father's side and the towering beauty his own Drow sisters.

I dearly loved playing this character - particularly for the way she was introduced into the campaign as an amnesiac who washed up on a beach and my first adventure was to rediscover her life and purpose (even what kind of character class she was - I wasn't allowed to know at the time) along the way. After a long and glorious series of campaigns spanning the entire world of Toril and a few other planes as well, she lives in semi-retirement with her husband in Silverymoon, teaching music at the Bardic collegium when they aren't on a mission for the Harpers. And yes, she's a good friend of my halfling, Briar Rose .
