Been so long since I last did a Kiesha'ra character that I forgot the feathers on her nape. Damn.
Tagging my old friends @opal-tea and @justawfulxmenart because we have another unfortunate sibling who died young because of the war.
This is Mara Shardae, the older sister of Danica who died before Hawksong at the tender age of fifteen. I will admit that I have thought about Mara only a few times compared to Sisal, but I saw a comment that Justawfulxmenart had made on my picture of Sisal and it mentioned Mara...and got me thinking and suddenly I wanted to try drawing her.
And here we go. For some reason, I saw Mara having really curly hair. It would come from their father as I see Nacola's hair being long and straight. Danica might have some waviness to her hair, but not as much volume as Mara has going on. Her skin tone is from the crayon colors of the world. I used the extra deep golden for Mara. Danica would have a deep golden skin tone, and Xavier would have medium deep golden. Xavier also has some thick curls, but his hair is short too.
And then we have the feathers...The "hawks" of Kiesha'ra are actually golden eagles.
So about Mara.
I like to think that the Shardae siblings were close, especially after the death of their father and aunts. There was some jealousy. Mara often got Nacola's attention because she was the heir. But Danica was more proper? I see Mara as being kind of a free spirit and often would convince her siblings to skip lessons in order to go for a walk, maybe have a picnic, and pretend the war did not bring death every single day.
One big thing is that Mara hated having to rely on the falcons for help. Yes, the poison is one of the reasons that the Avians can survive this long (which is telling IMO), but Mara doesn't trust the falcons, and had she become queen, then she would have tried to slowly wean the Avians off of their reliance. This probably would have come back to bite her in the butt.
But it's telling in her fashion. If you all remember my outfit for Sive (which I might have borrowed for Psyche...oops), it is based on the style that the falcons wear. Just less...exposed.
Mara's outfit is more what most Avians where. A high front and low back for the wings. Although I kind of wonder because most Avians don't wear the wings of their demi form.
But yeah. Here's Mara.
Enjoy.

In his basic form. My OC Ulyesses, who I created 20 some years ago while reading the Kiesha'Ra Series by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes.
My first OC that I ever made. Man, it has been a ride, huh buddy?
Original form Ulyesses is a mamba shapeshifter who was the mate of Sisal Cobriana before her death. Is still very close to Zane and Irene but disapproves of the joined courts.
No matter what AU he is in love and taken by @sinedra 's Sadira, a blonde little shit that drives him up the goddamn wall but she is his pain in the ass.
I am going to tag him in a lot of stuff because he do be thrown into a shit ton of AUs.

They took dinner in her room, and went to sleep early. The next morning, banging on her door dragged her from sleep. Mihri pushed herself up, loathe to leave the warmth of G’raha’s arms, and staggered to the door. She flung it open to find Alphinaud on the other side.
He jerked back, surprised, and then yelped and covered his eyes. Mihri rolled her eyes and snatched a tunic off the floor to cover herself. She yanked it over her head and brushed back dark hair out of her eyes. “What?” she signed sharply.
Alphinaud peeked between his fingers before dropping his hands completely. He was uncharacteristically… a hot mess. His tunic was askew, as if thrown on in a hurry, and his fine white hair was simply thrown into a ponytail instead of his usual intricate plait. The style revealed the feathers he and his sister usually tried to subtly hide from view.

"I'm not an avian lady, to be courted with poetry and flowers. I'm not a serpiente dancer, who can be impressed by a harja and a gift of a handmade melos. I am the wyvern of Wyvern's Court, and I cannot afford to choose as my king a man who is not able to accept both sides of me, and both sides of this land. If you are going to feel threatened by Urban, it shouldn't be because he kissed me. It should be because he came with me to the northern hills during Festival. Avian merchants watched him as if certain he was going to steal from them. Alistairs and parents stepped between him and any lady or child he stood too near or — sky forbid — tried to talk to. In short, they treated him worse than they would have treated a beggar wolf from the forest. But he stayed.
"You say you are trying to court me. So, if you're going to feel challenged by anything, feel challenged by that."

Kiesha'ra Series (Hawksong, Snakecharm, Falcondance, Wolfcry, Wyvernahil) - Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
Reading these books made me feel far away. In a good way.
To me, the cover arts give a completely different image of the world than the world I created in my head.

@opal-tea and @justawfulxmenart
So this morning I was looking through folders for something else and I came across this picture that I did not finish. It was for a Kiesha'ra character and I decided to give it another go, and I just finished her a while ago.
This is my version of Sisal Cobriana, the older sister of Zane and Irene.
Call it silly, but Sisal is one of my favorite characters even though we do not ever see her in the books. The only time any of the characters talk about her is in regard to her death, which was very tragic. But surely there was more to this cobra princess than just the fact that she was killed by an enemy soldier when pregnant.
A shout out to my friend @greatmarta because I did borrow a design feature, the eyebrows. I thought it would look nice and she would also inherit the brows from her dad. But that aside, a big part of Sisal's design for me is her eyes. I wanted to give her a more reddish-gold color because the avians and cobra do share a common magical ancestor (Kiesha's magic was split and some were given to Alasdair). I feel like you might get "oops" every now and then and it might prove interesting to see how such a situation is handled. I imagine for some it does not end well, but others might get lucky. I do like the color, was inspired by saffron flower stems (what is used to get the dye for fabrics)...but I feel it looks too orange. I kind of wanted more of an illusion of sorts. Like in certain lighting, it seems like Sisal has golden eyes like a hawk.
"Avian Eyes" is a nickname used throughout Sisal's life, though never where the rest of her family can hear. Serpiente does love a good scandal, so many people wondered if the eldest daughter of Donovan and Charis was secretly sired by an Avian. This made Sisal rather self-conscious, even though she was surrounded by a loving family and supported by good friends.
Sisal wants nothing more than to have a loving mate and children of her own (though she knows there is a risk that the war will take them away much too soon) and engages in several relationships. None really last, namely because the partner can't quite get over the rumors. Sisal ends up pregnant but doesn't know who the father is. Yet she does not care, for she will raise the child on her own and has her family to help. What Sisal will not say aloud is that she wants this baby because (hopefully) they will come out a perfect cobra. Maybe that will finally convince the people that she is not a mongrel.
Unfortunately, Fate has different ideas. Anjay leaves to seek an alliance with the falcons, leaving his mother and siblings to handle the affairs back home. Zane and Gregory had both offered to go to the meeting with a trusted ally, but Sisal insisted that it would be safer if she went instead. Nobody would be mad enough to attack a pregnant woman and most shapeshifters knew the meaning of the Snakecharm worn around her neck.
The first part of the trip went well, but it was the return trip that would see a tragic end. A fight broke out and Sisal was badly wounded, having been stabbed in the stomach with a poisoned blade. Those helping her tried to save her, but when it was clear that she was beyond their means, they sought to save her child. The infant was cut from her mother's womb, but the poison and magic it contained had gotten to her first and the baby was born dead. Since Sisal had planned to name her daughter, Hai, it would later be used by her niece Oliza for her own daughter.

You should look up the video game "Slay the Princess". Cause after watching a few playthroughs, all I can think of how a Chaggie AU with Charlie as the Princess and Vaggie as the Player/Hero would be SO EPIC! And maybe other Hazbin Hotel or Helluva Boss characters as the other voices.
someone else must complete this quest line bc the only crossover chaggie my brain has attached to is a kiesha'ra au
chaggie really dug right back into my childhood for that one tbh
