First off I just want to say that no matter what is written below, I am not a picky guy so if you wish to improv your mental image of her a little to fit your really awesome art style then go ahead and do what you think is best ( after all its your talent not mine that will help to get this image out of my head)
Despite the very long description, and even a If it were a Actor/ Actress playing the part at the end I am giving you a total license to go out and be the creative person that you are, After asking you will you do it I have no say truthfully in how the art comes out ( And my only regret is I can not pay you for your labors in anything other than experience. ( So without further long winded adieu)
Miirran Dax
Rgr4/ Sor 4 Thorn of the White Rose 2, Discreet companion 10
Half Dragon/ Half Cat Race ( Llan) One thing not in the description below Miirran is tall and Lithe ( at 5’7” )
Miirran appears to have prominent Feline features mixed with that of a regular elf. (Note she should not have fur on her face or body but rather a Long mane like breadth of hair which she braids into whip like strands (see above) The hair is not all braided, as some of it flows down along her jaw line to about the back end of her cheek. Her nose juts out into a cute looking elfin nose and her ears are furred, and pointy like a half elf. She has some what larger eyes than normal, that are slitted (like a dragon, or a cat), and she has small bony ridges on the fore part of her jaws (taken from her half dragon father). She has long dainty whiskers, but not overly noticeable Otherwise her facial features are that of a elf. ( She has no tail)
(Also I do not know how you could draw this but she has what can only be described as what you would have if you morphed a leopards paws, and a delicate feminine hand.)
Miirran has all the look of a spirited 18 year old Noble ( preferring to dress in fine revealing silk dresses when she can and in tight stylized leather armor that accentuates her features when she knows she is going to get dirty” ) By revealing I mean skin hugging clothing not immodest neck lines (In fact when in Noble clothing she wears high necked dresses in preference over the low cut dresses) She is famed for her feline-esque mischievous squint and dazzling smile (usually described as calculating, hmm, by those who dislike her) ( Its that smile a girl gives you when she really wants something).
As far as things that should be on her ( As in things that are characteristic of her) 1. and most important is the way her hair should be portrayed As part of the variant TotWR Prestige Class she has been trained to focus her ki into her hair, which gives her the ability to use it like me or you would use a whip. When she was raised up to the Rank of Thorn she was given a set ( 12+) of tiny thorn shaped blades that she weaves into her hair (only removing them to wash her hair) 2. She wears a suit of Supple leather armor with the Pattern of the Thorn of the White Rose upon it ( A dark grey rose pattern flowing out over a light grey field) ( Or if you prefer a dress of the same colors with the same pattern) 3. Never without her custom made component belt which for the life of it looks like a handyman's tool belt (For a wizard that is) it should have a few larger and smaller hard leather pouches on it, and Vial holder ( which holds five beaker style vials of healing potion for quick fixes). Also on her person (prolly on the back portion of the belt) She has a flute whose mouth piece looks like an eagles head (stylized down the flute’s shaft) this item is not a heavy must though she uses it a lot I just don’t think I can describe it enough without ugly basic drawings.
4. she carries a pair of Yataghans (See pic below) with hilts shaped like stylized roses ( being a solitary rose with the pommel being a closed rose, the haft being the stem leading down in a reversed curve (Reversed curve meaning opposite that of the blade) directly into the Quillion ( Guard) which are shaped to be back to back thorns. ) 5. Her familiar Ferret and Companion Lynx are optional though if you do a Portrait of Her in a dress with Rialdo I would love to see Stitch ( her pet Ferret) in the crook of her arm and or Qe Lin (the Lynx) at her feet playing (this is purely up to you)
She is known for her wit, and her wiles, and has been known to trick her opponents with both her magics. and stealth, as well as her ability to talk her way into the hearts, or more appropriately beds of the important people of the world. A fact which always makes her loyal Rialdo red with embarrassment.
She does not have a pack (See below for the reason)
Rialdo
Exp (Forester) 2/ Brd 4/ Ftr 2
Always overburdened with his Loyalty to Miirran Who ironically saved him from the Lynx Qe Lin long ago when she was but a Child, and he but an unfortunate ill suited forester turned adventurer. When she left for the Swords School of the White Thorn Rialdo went along for the journey to. As the young gnome went his knowledge increased. He learned to read and write with the help of Miirran, he learned the sword by serving as her Ginny pig. Over the passing of the time since The White Rose School, Rialdo has picked up many a skill Among which cooking, architecture, philosophizing, and the Small fellow has begun (quite recently) to write sonnets, and limericks about the many wonders he has seen and heard in the company of his Mistress.
Appearance
Rialdo is a very prim and proper middle aged gnome with graying tufts of hair spilling out from his black derby. He wears spectacles, old golden wire framed ones that give him a prestigious Carnegie look. Though quite fit he is a wisp of a gnome standing taller than the average (at 3’ 8” ) He enjoys the benefit of being the Confidant of a landed mistress, wearing nice tailored clothes ( A Overcoat, an undercoat, a vest a bow tie, and a nice frilly shirt, and his reading spectacles) when in Court, and a Good Suit of Studded Leather when in the fray. While not a young gnome Rialdo is surely not elderly, His face is that of a older gnome with a longer nose, and quiet intelligent eyes, and a gray streaked goatee that he keeps neatly trimmed. He carries a Oversized MW fiddle on his back like its a Greatsword.
Oh as for things that show his personality a small one half mouthed inquisitive smirk, or a raised eyebrow usually will show his knowledge seeking attitude though he is usually more aloof, and scholarly (as if one could see him tangibly thinking)
IF you choose to put him in a Portrait with Miirran I would like them to be in the Court clothing ( Her in dress, him in a nice dark green (or brown) frock coat with gentlemen's forest green cloak over his shoulder) He uses a Cane sword when in court and a Small Rapier when in Adventuring mode. Other than that he always has a Book some where near or on him ( Usually open more than not) and If you chose to he Carries both his and Miirrans bags on an old Shetland (like) pony he calls Gnarleroot named for the tufts of furry hair over the ponies hooves (that more than not are gnarled) The pony at Miirrans command always wears a rope that is made to look like rose buds
Anything else just ask
Oh also if you need the reference
Miirran has a Mia Sara sort of face and Rialdo has a much more sophisticated Warkick Davis (Willow) face. That is who I would cast anyway.
My two major pictures I have in my Head either the duo in combat with some creature ( an orc for example) or The Two of them, the Donkey, and the Ferret ( The Lynx usually is out in the brush nearby) in combat gear going down a well beaten trail.
Or Miirran standing proud and noble in a a fine dress ( Her hair barbs used more like a deadly looking set of jewelry) with Rialdo reading a book in his official outfit Standing at her right ( in the folds of the dress if you want) In the crook of her arm Stitch looks on curiously at the doings of some invisible passerby.
Sword below is a Yataghan ( for visual reference)
