#crown gambit

Also commission!

I didn't draw for a long time, because there was a high workload at the university, but now I have a little time, so here is my design, my OC in the Crown Gambit or Sovereign Tower

I love how the game handles an emotional character. Aliza is a passionate and hot-headed knight, but her emotionality doesn't portrayed as a negative trait. Sometimes her feelings can be inconvenient or excessive, but honestly a little inconvenience isn't bad, and that said excessives isn't manipulative or showy either. she actually feels that way. Aliza is a synonym for sincere, at least for now (I'm on the bloodcrest family chapter)

despite being short-tempered, she is lovable. This is genuinely so important. her mentor is proud that Aliza become a "fierce warrior" and values her anger. her friends accept her, and she fits in well. her magical blood abilities are tied to her temper, and they are powerful. her feelings aren't just a weird psychological anomaly, they are part of her identity, valuable and anticipated feature

the most realistic part: she isn't just emotional, she's also a whole lots of things. I like her being analytical and composed, competent and funny, even emotionally beaten up from her abusive family. every side just makes her so much more alive

I'm still thinking about the "forever-lashing, harrowing, heart-rending Aliza" line. those epithets are soooo good
