So, meet Irena Nikova, Aquarius Saint from 300 years ago and one of my _Saint Seiya_ OCs. She was born in Russia between two Holy Wars, but that didn't mean Earth was at peace. In a time when there was always little information about the enemy and attacks could come from gods from different mythologies, Irena stood up because of her creative uses of cosmos: she could shape ice and water into almost anything she wanted, be it a deffensive shield or a hundred spears to throw at the enemy. She wasn't the strongest physically, but her speed and flexibility made up for that. With time, some began to call her "the untouchable witch" because rarely was she injured in a fight.
Irena had an apprentice, a young and ambitious boy who craved to be the strongest of all saints in history. One night after a specially hard day of training, an evil spirit found its way into the Sanctuary and persuaded this apprentice to kill his master, and so he did. He stabbed her several times, and right before she died he also cut her face to ruin her fame of "untouchable". But that wasn't the end for Irena. Hades has resurrected her from time to time as a mercenary, paying her with days instead of money: the more loyal she remains, the longer she stays alive. Her loyalty to Athena was pretty much destroyed after telling her the Sanctuary didn't catch her murderer anyway; now, her faith has been replaced with resentment and the only thing she wishes for is to recover the time her apprentice stole from her. And maybe deep down she might be looking for a reason to believe in Athena again, but being the cynical little piece of **** she is, she would never admit that.
So, about the reference:
a) Front view, training clothes. There were no bras when she was born, so she got used to binding her chest as a way to "hold it in place".
b) Back view. Loooong silver hair.
c) Detail of the head. Slightly hooky nose and sharp features. The injure on her face, now scarred, damaged some of her facial muscles. This means she can no longer smile with the right side of her mouth or rise the left eyebrow. This unfortunate because she was always quite expressive for an Aquarius Saint.
d) Detail of the scars in her body. She only has those and the one in her face.
e) How she usually wears the surplice. She always liked looking elegant (?). Also, no mask. NO MASK I SAID. NEVER. I didn't bother to colour this one because there are enough pictures of the Aquarius surplice out there, use Google Images xD
f) Colors used.
