As I took a break from Kiyoko-sempai's chibi, an spark of inspiration got me to finally draw this OC that had been around my mind from a month or so.
Her name is Edith, surname undecided. She's a Genshin Impact OC that was born and raised in a noble household from Monstadt.
Her family actually comes from Fontaine, but they moved to Monstadt around three generations or so. Edith knows this, but that's as far as her knowledge goes. This only became important when she grew up.
Her household was pretty wealthy, as her family was known for raising sucessful merchants.
Edith was the odd one, wishing to become a knight of Favonious despite having the skill and wit to make and run a sucessful business. Could have walked on a flowerpath if she wanted, but she didn't.
However, tragedy struck just as the date for her examination to become a trainee knight was about to take place. Her house was attacked and her family- parents, siblings and servants were wiped out overnight.
The whole estate burned.
Edith's mom took her and led her out of the house, she then passed Edith on to her cousin and told them to get lost. Before parting ways, she gave Edith her ring, a family heirloom from her side of the family (which later on became Edith's vision).
Her mom was shot by an arrow not longer after they left. Edith and her cousin were chased and attacked all night, but they finally managed to lose their pursuers near Liyue's border.
Sadly, her cousin passed away due to blood loss, and Edith had to abandone his corpse and get on the move or else her whole family would've died for nothing.
She reached Liyue and after a couple of days, got to Liyue Harbor, snuck inside a ship and went to Sneznaya (because no one would think she would dare flee to such inhospit place.)
(But she did, and suceed.)
Once there, Edith joined the Adventurers Guild and lied low for a while. After a couple of years, people didn't even realize she wasn't a local, which is a feat in itself 'cause freaking Fatui being Fatui-sh.
She then decided it was time to get back to her homeland. Like, it was enough that her friends and the whole of Monstadt thought she was dead for almost a decade, and unlike back then, she was now strong enough to protect herself.
Thus Edith went back to Liyue, just to catch word of the happenings on Monstadt and whatnot to prepare herself for the unknown. But she ended running into another kind of trouble there in Liyue.
Oh well, she was still 'dead', anyways. So she took two years to sort out the unexpected situarion, then head to Mondstadt for good.
Undoubtedly, Edith has had an eventful journey, but she still remains in high spirits.
Are you planning to expand the character with multiple sketches and splash art in the future? would be great to see more of fan fiction arts here.Genshin Impact lore, be like @kothy's department and her fan fiction.
Oh yeah, I know, I follow @kothy even before the whole JuSUS fiasco on Steemir. I've been liking and commenting their Genshin Work so I know they play haha.
And I indeed do, at least the sketching part. Half of my OCs are/were made for fanfictions anyways.
I might make memes of thigs that happens in-game. Like getting hit by a bomb and falling off a cliff, and gaining a trophy for dying like that.
I heard of the new build-your-house kinda update! I might play again soon hehehe
I love OCs that are related to pre-existing stories! It makes them feel more relatable :> Plus it's more fun since it's like your own take on the story. Although, I must say, Edith's past sounds pretty dark >u<
Loving her hair so much, hope to see those splash arts and sketches in the future 👀
The update was neat, though you must be rank 35 and have finished Liyue Chapter to unlock the Teapot
I like giving each OC their own story. Though, normally the story is born first, then the OC follows xD Edith came to me in a dream, it was kind of crack because it started with her crashing on the tavern like is no biggie, featuring a unamused Diluc and a "I see dead ppl" Kaeya.
But yeah, her past is pretty dark. Apparently, her mother side of the family was distant relatives with Fontaine's royalty, and thus Edith's family was wiped out due to an stupid court drama nor did they even know, nor did them give a rat ass about.
And thank you! I put a lot of effort in her hair, was really craving an OC with this hairstyle xD
I hear Genshin Impact and fan fiction owo
ahhh here too!
Heyyyy, found youuu!
:D
She is so lovely! I have a GTA character that in my head looks similar to her, but with a little more Latina flare. Edith's bangs are sooo cute!!!😍 (sucker for bangs). Great job!
Poor Edith having to deal with so much in her journey! I feel like Edith could use a Pizza for her struggles!
Thank you so much for sharing your original character!
!PIZZA
Heyyy, your GTA character's lookin' fine. And thanks! Edith's hairstyle is supposed to look like this
same length and everything, but easier said than done amirite?
Thanks for the Pizza!
You did a great job! Edith does seem to have tighter curls than waves. But every curly-haired girl falls victim to the occasional attack of humidity 🌧! Haha
Thank you! She is my Biker/Raver girl! Go big or go home, as they say!😅
