SO I've had this lined for a minute but never got around to coloring it.
This is Leyya's mom, Pruri. An orphan herself, she decided to go into teaching once she got old enough, specifically focusing on kids like herself. When she was in college, though, she met another young asura named Daxx, and the pair had a whirlwind romance that ended with them contracting not long after graduation and having a progeny together.
Neither one of them was even remotely ready to be parents. Pruri tried. Daxx left.
Pruri did her best, though, and by the time the little one who would be Leyya was entering progeny school, she'd had her second child and was officially teaching "wards of the council," helping young orphans find their way in the world, paving the way for little Leyya to meet a young, angry girl named Zojja.
More recently, Pruri has been trying to reconnect with her oldest child. She worries that she was never a good enough mother, but Leyya points out when they start to reconnect: she tried. She has always tried.
And that's more than her father EVER did.
