Description
The daughter of Haydar, Ishvala shared many similarities with her father. Like many Earth Dragons, she had a propensity for combat, much preferring to be donned in the armor her father crafted for her at all times. Tragically, Ishvala was one of the many to fall during the first war against Malefor and the Apes. Her body was never recovered from the battle field, all that could be found was a small chunk of the emerald the adorned her armor. Haydar was left devastated by the loss of his daughter, and it is believed that the reason he deserted the Dragon forces was due to her death.
Another experimental headshot but this time for a new character! Really proud of how this turned out, specifically her armor and the piece of emerald in it. I have A LOT of lore stuff and world building tied to the characters related to TloS!Arika and her mini-story that I MIGHT do a mini-comic for (big might there, I would need to sit down and plan it properly), but for now I'll throw out some trivia:
Ishvala is an Earth Dragon but more specifically she is a Nature-based Earth Dragon. Earth Dragons can have two certain classification to their Element, they can either be Terrain-Based or Nature-Based. Terrain-based Earth Dragons are known for strong sturdy blasts of earthen energy with a strong control over the ground and the minerals that can be found deep within. Meanwhile, Nature-based Earth Dragons generate earthen energy that is more free flowing and malleable with power over the life that springs forth from the Earth. It should be noted there are rare chances where an Earth Dragon can be blessed with an aptitude for both though the chances are rather low, however, these rare cases are often seen and treated as true masters over the Earth Element.
