Norika the child of peace

finally did a reff sheet for norika,
enjoy..

this is my "wonder-kin seedling" Norika.
ever since I came up with this character Iv had this, border-line, "obsession" to draw her.
by the way; Norika is not a male, technically not a female either but Norika is actually genderless. however, Norika's voice and personality are distinctly feminine. but make no mistake, this seedling is no pushover. Norika wields a large knife made from the tooth of a "Blaspheme"- [link] .
the blaspheme are a large group of "Terror-kind"- [link]
[link] monsterous beings that are sustained by eating the "wonder-kin"- [link]
the wonder- kin are peaceful plant-like entities that begin life as a seed, "death" as a seed means that the germination process begins, and the seed is reborn as a flower- [link]
or as a tree- [link]
the wonder-kin experience life, death and rebirth as a cycle and when the flower dies, the seed is dropped once again. Trees are the eldest, though few and far between, are the seeds that have dropped eons ago, have become monolithic trees. and when the tree dies, it falls to the ground and shatters into a million pieces, these pieces are like dandy lion seeds- [link]
but they are the purest form of the wonder-kin- [link] the aura behind the body emmets a pure white halo. this being is know as "the aquatinted one" and floats effortlessly across the land until it comes to rest, then it begins the cycle all over again.


Norika; The Child of Peace
- one day, a wonder-kin village experienced a small flood, when the water had finally seceded, a tiny round seed was laying on the ground, the seed sprouted its roots and stood up, puzzled, the surrounding flowers examined the tiny seed.
a few days later, the tiny seed awakes amidst a pile of ash and the remains of his-kin. the seed leapt through a gaping gnash in the wall of vegetation that surrounded the village. on the other side the tiny seed finds a tiny snail, dead in the middle of a scar in the earth. the tiny seed picks up the snail and returns to the village, the eldest flower, battered and out of breath, fashions the shell of the snail into a helmet, placing a leaf from the tree of life in its crown. before the elder dies, he names the seed "Norika" which means "peaceful", he also tells Norika where she can find 4 items that might be able to aid her.

- from here on Norika goes on to fight the terror-kind, with the aid of a giant "un-aquatinted"- [link]
a giant crow named Elow.
together they hunt the blaspheme, traveling grate distances following the herd of rampaging terror-kind, to uncover the mystery behind the attacks and behind King Blasphemy.
