an old painting i did. :)
please take a gander at my other works if you like.
This is Queen Zahira, Ain’s and Jerah’s mother. Though she looks quite extravagant in this image, for a deity at the Ruling Queen rank, her look is rather demure!
Zahira would consider herself somewhat “out there”. Though she’s matured after several million years’ existence, she was rather flighty, hyper, and a self-described “space case”, as a kid and still worries that she hasn’t changed as much as people say she has. These clothes are part of her trying to fit in a little better with the other Ruling Deities, made from ethereal components that she reconstructed to exist in more planes. (Romero helped her with the design, she made the cloth itself.) It’s not as fancy as the others wear, but her advancements to society have gained her quite a lot of respect. It also moves freely at her own will, making it quite a special dress despite its simplicity.
As far as her current personality, she’s often described as calm and calculating when it comes to scientific work, and friendly and outgoing when it comes to people. She loves to mingle and have parties just as much as she likes to work in her lab for a stretch of sixteen hours to complete some new creation. Her childish hyperness has definitely lessened over the years, but as she found out quickly, Aina inherited it in spades. She’s an amazing leader, and is used to running teams of people and encouraging others to complete projects.
She’s a major science geek, and a herald in the field of Creational Biology, which is exactly as it sounds; the creation of new beings through weaving elements together in a way that works with a particular environment. Her research has opened many new doors for improvements of Arkh reincarnating, and she is attributed in history as the Mother of Humans, for her great contributions to their design completion. Zahira also began the research that allows Third Level beings to pass onto the Fifth Level, and she created the first perfect Fourth Level being, who we better know as Haruka.During her schooling, she became close friends with Romero and Neelu, her best friends and confidantes, and her now husband, Nikolai, who became her King-by-marriage. Both Zahira and Nikolai are well-known in the Science field, though Nikolai’s contributions might’ve been less glamorous, though absolutely necessary to supplement Zahira’s work. They were known for some time as the Dream Team.
Zahira has two children, Aina, her oldest, and Jerah, the baby, and unfortunately went missing shortly after Jerah’s birth. The last project she worked on was a campaign to reverse the effects of the Anima Fracta ritual. After her disappearance, the project was left incomplete.Edit: Picture has been updated to show the symbol given to Zahira upon promotion to Ruling Queen. It’s on her forehead and will be shown in detail in a later image.

The Cathartist - ‘Where the art meets catharsis; a safe place for your stories of sexual abuse and violence. Isn’t it time someone heard your voice?’
Ca·thar·tist·ry
noun
1. art that leads to catharsis.
2. the purging of emotions through various forms of art.
Your voice is your art. And we want to hear it!
A goal you could say, to empower all individuals who have gone through the unfortunate experience of sexual abuse and violence. They recognize the ills of society and are making an effort to battle it. Maybe not with guns but with words and art.
They want to re-embrace life and here’s your chance to join the revolution.
Please reblog! This website was launched by a [female Muslim] friend of mine, and I’m hoping to spread the word to others!
