Description Everybody loves their mummy !
Some doodles of a character I designed lately. An undead Jackal with fire affinities.

Name: Jenka
Las Name: ???
Age: 19 (at death)

Species: Jackal
Gender: Female
Birthplace: Exodust
Date of birth: ???

Personality
 Despite being undead, Jenka kept all her memories and mental state. She is extremely nihilistic, she debase the price of life and sacrifice and tends to belittle mortals she dub "foolish and innocent".
Despite being of a calm nature, Jenka is revanchist and can turn violent when provoked. She usually proceed to "judge" her victims before mercilessly imposing them her terrible sentences.

Ability
 Jenka is swift an lethal. Her abnormal agility let her twist her body to move in unpredictable position and catch her opponent off-guard.
As an undead, she doesn't feel pain and can stand most of lethal assaults. She uses her clawed hands to suck up vital energy from her prey and use it to quickly heal herself.
Jenka can also  manipulate fire and ignite her bandages to turn them into dangerous blazing wipes.

If her zombie properties are her greatest strength, it's also her weakness ; Her dead body is very sensitive to sunlight. Direct contact with sunlight weaken her, disabling her power or healing abilities. It's important to note she only react to sunlight : Artificial light and magic that are not using sunlight are ineffective.

Synopsis
A mummified hybrid found deep in an ancient temple. She was later revived by Sukima's power to become one of her devoted follower.

It's all for now. Maybe I'll dig up her background later if i find something to work with.
Until then, Stay sharp.

"Stay sharp." *snicker* I see what you did there....

Anyways, onto the matter of this character: I may have seen a number of mummy characters from time to time, but this one... I don't really know how to describe the mixture of awe and curiosity. Her colour scheme - first off - has that feel of a desert dweller without having to resort to any gold/fancy gems that you'd normally find on some characters, and that's pretty good.

And... a mummy who can manipulate fire? Well there's something you don't normally find on one. I'm not really certain what a majority of mummy characters whom I've come across can manipulate, but being able to set one's own bandages on fire to be used as a weapon? That's pretty hardcore, since she appears to have an unlimited amount of bandages to actually set them on fire in the first place.

All in all, this character is just as interesting as the rest of your characters, in a sense that they all are quite unique. Looking forward to Jenka's background info!

Actually, "Stay sharp" is the catchphrase I usually use to end my submissions.

But yea this character is treacherous. They tend to associate mummies to fire weakness. Of course, they're like a big stack of flammable stuff.
In fact, her bandage may catch fire, but it's never actually consumed in the process.

Hehe, I see. But given Jenka's claws... I just couldn't help myself.

Considering how mummies are wrapped in bandages that are made of plant fibre, it's no surprise that they're more flammable. But bandages that don't become consumed by flames... smells like strong magics in work there.
