Another one of my characters. I really should write their stories down.

Oh well, this is Selja av Astolat, the crown princess of Pohjola. She also happens to be of those chosen to keep the balance in my little world. And because things are never simple, she is a fire elemental and married to Diarmad, a half drow-half regular elf. I came up with her about ten years ago, and the only thing changed in that time is her appearens. The hair color and so forth. That's the reason this pic is bw, and will stay that way. It also happens to be the only one which turned out the way I wanted. Believe me I've tried a hundred times, and she always just looked... wrong.

Side note: elementals in my world are people who can communicate with and control the five elements.

incredible - i love this style, kind of neoclassical. i love the heavy material, it goes nicely with her slight figure. and her hair is just awesome - the Hellenic style is so cool!

:-) Anitta Hiekkanen replies: "Thanks. I always thought that hairdo is one of those quickies you can create in two seconds or so. Never guessed it had some historic background."
