This talk about momdaughter OCs inspired me to do some drawing. Here's a rough sketch/WIP of some characters from my setting, the Endless Steppe.
Begum Amutharh was born and raised on the steppe. Thirty seven years old and an emissary of the Cinnabar Horde, she's well-versed in warfare, diplomacy and leadership, but she's felt a little adrift since the death of her husband. Her three beloved daughters are her guiding light, and she has begun travelling widely with them so they might learn the skills they'll need to succeed her.
Kwelkett, the eldest, is autistic and quiet, but first in line to step into her mother's shoes. She's received plenty of training, but fighting makes her uncomfortable, and she's rather indulge her interest in history by learning the myths and genealogy of her family. Amutharh adores her for her patient and hardworking nature, and could easily be accused of favouritism. Kwelkett, for her part, has deep-seated and shameful feelings towards her mother that go beyond familial affection, and is determined never to tell anyone this ever.
Yaskett and Shexkett are more outgoing and typical of girls their age. Despite being younger and physically less impressive than their sister, they're more effective fighters and could easily surpass her as they mature. Kwelkett doesn't mind in the slightest, as this would ease the burden of leadership on her. Yaskett is wonderfully friendly and open-hearted, if not very bright, while Shexkett is remarkably astute for her age, already able to hunt, navigate and pitch camp for the family.
