Centaurus, the Centaur, is a southern constellation and one of the original 48 that Greek astronomer Ptolemy set down. Centaurus has long been seen as a half-man, half-beast as early as the Babylonians who saw it as the Bison-man.
According to Ovid, Centaurus represents the centaur Chiron, who was a tutor to Heracles, Theseus, and Jason (leader of the Argonauts). He was put into the heavens after accidentally being hit with a poison arrow show by Heracles.
In order of brightness, the named stars are:
Rigil Kentaurus (α Centauri A), a Sun-like star about 4.3 light years away. It is the dominant member of a triple star system, consisting of itself, Toliman (α Centauri B), and Proxima Centauri (α Centauri C). Toliman is another Sun-like star, while Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf. The name Rigil Kentaurus comes from the Arabic phrase Rijl al-Qinṭūrus meaning "foot of the Centaur." The name Toliman comes from the Arabic aẓ-Ẓalīmān meaning "the ostriches."
Hadar (β Centauri) is another triple star system, this time of three blue giant stars, all about 361 light years away. The name comes from the Arabic word meaning "to be present."
Menkent (θ Centauri) is a solitary orange giant star about 59 light years away. The name comes from the Arabic word mankib meaning "shoulder."
Muhlifain (γ Centauri) is a binary star system consisting of two blue-white giant stars about 130 light years away. The name comes from the Arabic word muħlifayn meaning "jurors."
Leepwal (ζ Centauri) is a binary star system about 382 light years away. Its name comes from the Marshallese language.
Kulou (ι Centauri) is a solitary blue-white giant star about 59 light years away. Its name comes from the Chinese word Kulou (库楼) meaning "the arsenal."
Heng (ν Centauri) is a binary star system about 437 light years away. Its name also comes from the Chinese word heng (衡) meaning "pivot."

I drew Sakura for the front page because Naruto was the first fandom I was ever truly apart of, and I really liked Sakura, especially bamf fanfiction Sakura who could be great and more importantly visible unlike her canon counterpart
I then chose Hadar from Epic of Gilgamesh for the last page, because at the time that was the most recent fandom I had joined, and I just really loved Hadar, he was my favourite character in epic of Gilgamesh. And considering how it's connected to the ember knight, and how I predictably like Nagyunn the most, Hadar does top my love for Nagyunn.
If Hadars skin look off, that's because I don't have an exact match for his shade, and I was too impatient to go over it a few times and wait for it too dry before I went over it again, so I adjusted it a little digitally to make it darker.
Hadar: Ah- well...um... nightmares for me can get... a lot. Um. A lot of stuff can happen, it doesn't take much to make me afraid.
Hadar: The usual themes are usually to do with like...filth, disease, parasites and b-bugs...everywhere. All around. And I'm unable to escape, drowning with them, covered by them...s-stuff-stuff like that. (he shudders at the memory of those dreams)
Hadar: (he gulps as he start poking around some of the spots on his arms) But-they're not the worst ones... but I-I don't wanna talk about them.

A fully coloured version of the portrait I did of Hadar and his wife Dona for this ask on the Guardian Family Ask account. I was really happy with the shading on this. Look at happy Hadar is in the arms of his tall wifey. <3
Iris: I’m curious, do you all have any good stories or memories of your partners? My Guardians tend to keep their relationships close guarde
The universe is full of dimensions, galaxies, planets, galaxy ways, but I found out with astrology you can know what dimensional being you might be, and what your mission is here.
Example : If you have a Star constellation in your 12H, it’s linked to spiritual connection & past lives. Or aspecting Neptune is a high spiritual connection or even the south node.
“Hadar” is a Arabia name star constellation
I have Hadar in the 12H aspecting my Neptune and conjunct my ASC and my moon at a Aquarius degree, which makes a lot of sense because on my 12th age I got a major shock spiritual awakening of Hadar.
Crazy story
So since child I’ve always find a deep connection to Hadar, the star constellation and I’ve always had the feeling that my purpose was to spread cupido love. When I was young I got bullied by class mates, and I was like “how can the be full of hate” since I found out that Hadar is the star constellation of cupido love, it makes a lot of sense. I’ve always had an open heart chakra, and people always call me to lovely for this world. Someone told me “I don’t believe you are from here” around 12 year old I got a spiritual awakening and I started to listen to Hadar frequencies and I start to cry and my intuition gave me a weird reaction. Later I start to get visions of Hadar and what happened to Hadar I have still fear that I dream about a Astroid hitting the sun in Hadar.
