Additional story art
Still out of order, a continuation of a previous post of stories, but I can probably get into some character lore lol
previous post link: https://www.reddit.com/r/LegendsOfChima/comments/1uecaqs/some_random_oc_art_in_no_particular_order/
Leonarda: main character. Goes by Lea. Lion queen. Story as of currently follows her from childhood to her years as queen. Crosses over with canon characters in their own childhoods but is gone long before canon series begins. Bullied throughout her life by her uncle who tries to sabotage everything in her reign. Eventually gets him executed but lives with the nightmares haunting her whole life.
Erythnia: lowkey my favorite design. in this AU the tribes are split into different clans somewhat related to species and subspecies under the genera and families of the umbrellas (i.e. hawks falcons kestrels etc all being different clans in the eagle tribe, or like different apes and primates in the gorillas, etc.). she is the Featherhead of the Merina flock, and headmaster of the Avian academy, which is mostly an eagle school but open to whoever else qualifies academically. takes small Lea in as a personal student after seeing how badly she is treated at lion school. Her best friend and greatest rival is the next character.
Roxan: apothecary. infamous former mercenary known by the name of the Red Robber. Runs an underground guild called the Robbers-Den. Formerly an Avian student, in Erythnia’s class. Would have been valedictorian but slacked and got second cuz he didn’t care. his arc touches on prejudices among tribes and plays into critique of the stereotypes they’re given in show. Becomes Lea’s tutor through a personal favor of Erythnia. tied in a very complicated knot with Duchess General Lysandra.
Ligor: Lea’s uncle. very charming. Major prick. does some cringe bad stuff to Lea and to his own family. lore itself goes kinda dark.
lysandra: Duchess General. Ligor’s wife. Estranged from him because of violent marriage. Eventually becomes Lea’s biggest defender and protector.
longinus: lea‘s bodyguard. Murdered by Ligor. I’m slowly getting more and more bored as I write this out which is why the descriptions get more and more lacking, but he does play a pretty big role being the whole love interest and all. (the catch: bodyguards and their charges due to protocol cannot court.) Is loyal to a fault.
wakira: was in the previous post. appears much later. chief of the wolf tribe and of his personal pack. hates the lions. not really malicious, just very bitter.
anyway yeah enjoy.
