Description

Aedria is a long old character of mine, I can't recall if she is older than Ichiro, but her concept were made after Algren's once she was meant to looks like him.

She is a test character of pre made adventures I bought for my Dungeons & Dragons games with my friends, I used to have test characters and play solo the adventures in order to memorize better the adventure's details. At time, I used to have a sheet for 5 test characters: One Samurai, being Algren himself (using Oriental adventures guidebook), Nulara as Ranger, Halcion as Paladin, Aedria as Druid and Aeron, an Aarakocra Bard (now he is a Therian Harpy).

There were other characters as well, like an Anthro Owl Bear Barbarian or an Birdfolk Fighter, but, I thought a party of 5 was already big enough.

This is why Nulara is a Ranger and Halcion has a shiny armor ^v^. Algren were meant to be a samurai since his very concept (was a samurai boom at time thanks to the... ahem... the Last Samurai movie...)

Once everyone was an avian character, I made Aedria as an elf afflicted by lycanthropy, being a Werefalcon-elf Druid. Werefalcons does not exists officially on the D&D games, but I made some calculations and found a pattern on the other standard lycanthrope's abilities change and managed to make it on the Falcon template. (somehow made same with the gryphon and hippogryph but I can't recall what calculations I made at time)

Of course, as a test character that has never surfaced or considered to be drawn, this is officially first time I drew her. I barely remembered about her after creating Jade.

Aedria is an elf that were exiled from her elven village once she likes more her werefalcon shape rather her elven one at point she almost forgot how to shapeshift back to her original form. This was nothing for her as her desire was to jump off from the safety of the village and use her druic powers to learn more about everything under the blue sky, not just until the green of the forest ends. Somehow by much coincidence she met other avians and they agreed on adventuring.

Her artwork concept was to leave some elven traits on her, as she is not a "true" avian, such features includes an feather-pointed ears, remains of her golden hair and her boobs. I think I initially created Aedria to be a Nulara's Rival over Algren, but by the story log, Aeron saves her butt several times so I decided to make both a couple =P

Originally she wields a Falchion and a wooden shield, but, I think a staff fits better on her new role on the Tsubasano Senshitachi story. She is still an elven Werefalcon.
