Blue Hope

Original character... I was challenged to make a female character for a World of Darkness game (I usually play males) and here she is!

Hope Lawford, aptly nicknamed "Blue"; lead guitarist of the band Iphigenia, an indie goth/rock band of 6 members that ended rather violently due to the death of all the band members save Blue. While playing a gig one night the band were caught up in some sort of supernatural incident that resulted in a massacre and the burning down of the building.

Blue crawled out of the wreckage one day later, surviving presumably only on the strength of her freakish power to regenerate her body. Blue cannot remember clearly due to nightmares of the incident confusing her perception of imagination and reality so she is conducting her own inquiries into the matter, more often than not encountering a wall of silence.

Consumed by her need to find out what happened that night, not least because the vocalist, Ruben, was the love of her life, Blue has descended into a self-perpetuating cycle of bottling up her emotions. More than anything she hates to be seen as weak and sees perseverance and stubbornness as the way forward.

I COULD invent what actually happened to her but I would rather leave that in the hands of the Storyteller since I want to have the feeling of discovery myself.

As reference I used my own photo of me because I thought the pose was very apt for Blue. In fact, the door frame was completely lifted from the photo because the texture was too awesome to pass up. In short, I only really drew Blue herself:
