Hey everyone,

I don't often post pics of my characters looking sad or upset, so please bear with me while I explain.

I suppose you could call this a "Vent" art more than anything else. So yes, I'm feeling pretty miserable, to be honest. Nothing worse than any other day is happening right now, I'm just feeling particularly low, and lost.

This is, unfortunately, just par for the course for me, but I'll get better soon enough- it will pass.

But onto the character herself, Avalanche is an orphan who lost her mother to an illness in her youth, and never had a chance to know her father either. Here, she is pictured before her the moult where she gained her wings, and decades before she was gifted the enchanted flower she wears as an adult. (in case you were wondering, the adult version of Ava is currently approaching 50 years old, FYI.)

She is, as far as anyone else knows, the very last known ice dragon in existence, and though she has built a close friendship with Smolder, and is under the official protection of Dragonlord Ember, she, even as an adult, still longs to meet more of her kind.

Avalanche is mostly rather sanguin about all of this, and tends to have a relaxed outlook on life, but of course, just like for any of us, the memories of darker times persist, and she can get lost in introspection.
