If I could draw, I would have drawn Sabriel a thousand times over.
At the same time, Im not able to pay someone to draw her for me.
This was drawn for me as a birthday gift from a close friend and fellow RPer back when I first created Sabriel. While I love J and his art style, I don't think he or anyone else could ever capture her properly now that she's been developed a lot more.
I showed my boyfriend your post because he too is a bit of a literacy nut and an RPer. He laughed a little at your deduction that I'm a kind hearted person who is unable to really hurt someone and then listed off all the people I've hurt…. On purpose.
Exhibit A)
I almost broke a friend's finger for… well… I actually don't remember why.
Exhibit B)
Another friend failed to block a blow from my bo staff resulting in a very nasty lump on his head… (Apparently I was close to cracking his skull)
Exhibit C)
I've gone up against my boyfriend with just a bo staff against his duel bokken and we didn't strike a single blow on each other or our weapons. He's also experienced a near broken thumb and countless other bumps, bruises and scratches as inflicted by
his sweet and apparently innocent girlfriend me.
Other than that, when it comes to cute and fluffy things, I'm the first to start cooing uncontrollably… Even when they look like this:
(Yes that's a poisonous species of octopus, but ain't he cute and cuddly!?)
Oh and when someone needs help or a shoulder to cry on I'm almost always the first person to turn up… Usually with baked goods or ice cream…
Sabriel's story is actually based on about 8 and a 1/2 years of RPing her. She's had her own tough times, but at the same time has been there for me through a lot of my own. When I was trying to work up the courage to split from one of my ex-boyfriends I told myself a couple of times "Sabriel wouldn't put up with this. Why are you?" and it's true, she wouldn't have put up with that particular ex. She would have beaten him over the head with a frying pan and shoved him out the door LONG before I let him give me my first bruise.
… That's a tale for another time though…
All and all, I think if you had to put my other newer character Kora and Sabriel next to one another, Sabriel is all my hopes and dreams meanwhile Kora is the deeper, darker slightly more psychotic side of me that I don't often let off it's leash.
*offers a cookie*
Useless tangents aren't necessarily useless.
Sometimes it's fun knowing more about the people behind the characters you're interacting with. Brings us all closer together y'know?
Seriously. Some of my RP buddies are my closest friends.
Ever.
On the other hand, I have barely kept in contact with any of my friends from high school and over the past 5 and a 1/2 years since I left have struggled to more.
Even compared to the gaming clan I was in up until recently. The Reckoners pride themselves on being like family, but compared to some of my RP buddies, they're admittedly nothing more than strangers with a mic on the other side of the world who I team up with regularly.
Random Fact: I've known Jilly for almost 8 years now.
