Hi there~
I have several OC's that are quite important to me, as they are central to my persona both on this site and off. I don't have very much art of them at all, so I thought I'd hold an art contest to get more art of them and perhaps find out more about them in the process C:
You can draw any of the characters mentioned below, and while you are more than welcome to draw them separately I would love to see art of them drawn together <3 Keep reading to meet them!
the contest has been extended ONE MONTH and will now close on June 1st! I am moving and will not have time to judge the entries until I am settled.

(Art by hawaiianbabidoll)
Full name: Rebecca Rose Drialae
Age: 18 years
Birthday: October 7th
Gender: Female
Eyes: Dark forest green
Hair: Jet black curls that fall to her waist. When her hair is not down, it is french braided into a single braid down her back. She also likes doing waterfall braids.
Always Wears: One of Sitora's claws as a necklace.
History:
Rebecca was born to the Ocean dragon sorceress Elizabeth Drialae and the Mountain dragon sorcerer Luke Mathoku. However, seeing as it is forbidden for the sorcerers to fall in love, Elizabeth did not tell Luke that she was pregnant with his child, and refused to tell anyone else who the father was. Since Elizabeth still had many years of service left to the dragons, she gave her child to a poor farmer couple who were unable to conceive a child of their own rather than give her only daughter up to an orphanage. Rebecca grew up knowing she was adopted, but neither of her adoptive parents knew her biological mother's name. The only clue she had to her past was the small dragon claw necklace that was around her neck when Elizabeth gave her up.
Rebecca was relatively happy on the small farm her adoptive parents owned until she was four; but that year, her adoptive mother finally was able to get pregnant. She gave birth to a small baby girl, Eleanor (known as Ella), and after that Rebecca was ignored as they poured all their attention and love to their "real" daughter. It was that same year that Rebecca began to wander further and further into the forest as she was not being watched as closely, and in doing so she met Tristan, a young boy who was two years older than her.
Over the years, Rebecca and Tristan developed a close friendship, and each was there for the other in the hard times. It was Rebecca who comforted Tristan as he was going through being abused by his father, and it was Tristan who agreed to teach Rebecca how to use a sword even when it is forbidden for women to be taught such things, and comforted her when they found out Ella had a deadly, incurable disease. But everything began to change the day William proposed.
The son of the wealthiest lord in the village; William Shiel was now old enough to marry, and naturally he chose the most beautiful woman in the village; Rebecca. Even though she did not love him, Rebecca agreed to marry him only because it would give her family the money they needed to save Ella's life. On the eve of her wedding however, William showed his true colors, and Rebecca fled to the forest out of fear. She was attacked by wolves and it was Tristan who found her and saved her; it was that night that Tristan and Rebecca realized that they had feelings for each other. Still, she had already agreed to marry William. Just as she was about to head to the church the next morning, news came that Tristan had been attacked and killed by dragons. Refusing to believe that he was dead, Rebecca once again headed into the forbidden forest, and soon found herself face to face with a dragon; the very same dragon who's claw she wore around her neck.
It was then that she realized that she was the heir to be the next Ocean dragon sorceress.
Personality:
Stubborn, fiercely determined, and brave are the words that describe her best. She will do absolutely anything for those she loves, even if that involves hurting herself in the process. Rebecca is very good at hiding her true feelings, and only those who know her best are able to see behind her mask. She sometimes trusts too easily, and has been known to be fooled by her enemies. Her heart is her fatal flaw; you can get just about anything you want from her if you threaten someone she loves. Rebecca can sometimes be reckless, and often charges into things without totally thinking them through. But this does not mean she is unintelligent, as she is a very quick thinker in the heat of the moment, and her battle training with Tristan has made her a very agile and tough fighter.
Likes: Dragons, horses, swordfighting, the ocean, flying, dogs, open spaces
Dislikes: Liars, small spaces, being trapped, falling, cats
You can draw her with: Tristan, in a romantic (I would LOVE to see romantic art of them!) pose; and I would love to see art of her and Kaos in this pose (obviously Kaos would be the horse, and I'd like Rebecca's face to be visible). You're welcome to draw her with Sitora as well!

Full name: Tristan Logan Hawthorne
Age: 20 years
Birthday: August 17th
Gender: Male
Eyes: Bright blue
Hair: Longer for a male, messy dark brown. It often gets in his eyes.
Always Wears: Well, rather "carries" in this case; his sword.
History:
Tristan was born to a happy couple, Kia and Logan Hawthorne. But his mother was only 18 when she gave birth to him, and due to complications, she died just a few days after (or so he was told), leaving Logan to raise his only son on his own.
Logan resented Tristan and pretty much blamed him for Kia's death, and when Logan began turning to alcohol he would often beat Tristan during his rages. Finally, things got so bad that Tristan refused to live with his father past the age of thirteen, and he stayed in Rebecca's barn while he worked to save up money for his own place. Eventually he was able to buy a small shack on the outskirts of the village, almost in the forest, but this worked for him since he worked as a woodcutter. All the while he remained close friends with Rebecca, and they often spent their afternoons locked in combat training.
When William proposed to Rebecca and she began skipping their meetings more and more often, Tristan became incredibly jealous and irritable, and was unable to find a reason why. He did not realize he had feelings for her until Rebecca spent a night at his place after he saved her from a pack of wolves. The very next night however, he was met in the forest by a dragon, who informed him that he was the next heir to the position of the Ice dragon sorcerer.
Personality:
When compared to Rebecca, Tristan seems calm and more sensible in contrast. He prefers to think things through before charging blindly into danger, and hates not having a plan as he is not a quick thinker and often cracks under pressure. Tristan is one to sit back and watch someone be happy even when it is hurting him in the process, but will speak his mind and give advice when it is needed; although a major pet peeve of his is when people come to him for advice but don't follow it. Tristan is protective and fiercely loyal to those he loves and trusts. He is typically skeptical when meeting someone knew and it takes longer for him to warm up to a stranger than most.Tristan is not easily angered, but if you manage to piss him off he can have a nasty temper.
Likes: Cold, rainy weather, campfires, the forest, swordfighting, darkness
Dislikes: Hot weather, swimming, light, getting up early
You can draw him with: Rebecca in a romantic pose (I'd LOVE to see this!)

Art (c) Furiouswolf, Kaos (c) Me
Many more references for him here
History:
Born to be a leader, Kaos's deranged and power hungry father knew this, so one day he took his son out alone into the forest and mauled him, coming inches within taking the young Kaos's life. Miraculously, Kaos pulled through, but he lost the use of his right wing and is therefore unable to fly. He will bear the physical and mental scars from that day for the rest of his life. His father was dismissed from power and when he was old enough, Kaos took his place. He has ruled the "rogue" dragons ever since, trying his best to support and protect them even though each new day is only harder than the last.
Personality:
Bitter and resentful, Kaos has withdrawn into himself, and is not very sociable at all. He highly prefers to be alone, and has no true friends. He has a caring side but it rarely comes out anymore as flying was his one true joy, and it was ripped from him all too soon. Despite his past he is protective of those who rely on him and will do what he must in order to keep them safe; despite his own physical disability. Underneath his broken exterior, all he wants is for someone to love and accept him for who he is.
Likes: Flying, Darkness, Moonlight, Caves
Dislikes: His scars, Light, Early Mornings, Open Spaces
You may draw him: With Rebecca in the pose I mentioned in her description, or by himself in a sad/neutral pose. He is NOT a happy character so please keep this in mind, and DO NOT draw him in flight as he is unable to fly. You are also welcome to draw him with Sitora in a romantic pose!

Art (c) Furiouswolf, Sitora (c) Me
History:
Sitora has a pretty straightforward history. Unlike her twin sister, who was born blind and had to work hard to overcome her disability, most things came very naturally to Sitora and it was soon very clear that she was destined for great things. Slowly but surely, she worked her way up the ranks and eventually became leader of the Ocean dragons.
Personality:
Sitora is everything you would find in a loyal, proud dragon; she is brave and strong, and willing and able to lead the dragons she loves through any challenges that may come her way. To the dragons she must lead and protect, she is their rock; unwavering and never shaken, for she must be strong for them. She isn't going to pretend that she doesn't have doubts every now and again; everyone does. But she must often hide her true feelings and carry on even when she herself is ready to give up, which can be incredibly hard on her. However, cross her and she will become your worst nightmare. She does not stand for the humans that invade her territory; the land that is rightfully belongs to the dragons.
Likes: Flying, the ocean, the forest, early mornings, sunrise
Dislikes: Feeling trapped, being alone, keeping secrets
You may draw her: With Rebecca however you want, or with Kaos in a romantic pose.
