Artist's Comments

Drawn late 2006, Coloured Jan 2009

Alexandra Aragon was a poster child for the Silver Fangs, the nobles of the werewolves. She was a stunning beauty with long platnum blonde hair, fine features, high cheek bones and a pure breeding that stood out even amongst the garou nobles with her long elegant muzzle and fur of purest white. Luna had marked her as a philodox, a leader, and the spirits spoke of her rare gift for being immune to wyrm toxins, taint, and corruption. She quickly became the alpha of the 'Women of the Valkyrie' an all female pack and wielded a grand klaive passed down through her family. Her tribe had high hopes for this young philodox. In 1995 during a harrowing battle with a pack of Black Spiral Dancers a portal to Malfeas, the werewolf hell, the very realm of the Wyrm itself, was opened. Seeing her Get of Fenris packmate nearly dead and tossed into the pit, Alexandra heroically followed in an attempt to save her packmate. Weeks, months and years passed, both garou were assumed dead.

In 2007 Alexandra returned. Her features were harrowed and haggard, her porcelin skin ashen, pale and coated in pink scars, her long, silken hair filthy, matted and tangled into dreads and braids. Her auspice had been changed to an Ahroun and she carried the mark of the phoenix totem upon her arm. Renamed 'Rises-From-The-Ashes' she's a new person, back from the dead.


A character left for dead ages ago remade, and re-vamped more then a decade later.

I say she's still very beautiful, regardless of how she looked in the past in comparison. She seems a very strong woman, and I really like that. :D

Wonderfully drawn! I love the angles of the whip. :)

I love her backstory. She looks pretty badass--a little like someone who's more dead than alive, more ghost than flesh, really.

She still is beautiful, but not the same type of beauty that she used to have. I actually took a flaw where her appearance lowered and she looks drained and older then her actual years.

Wow, you really have a way with words. I never would have thought of putting it that way, but it's a perfect description.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL character here Pooka. Really interesting background, too!
I particularly love her skin tone -- its quite unique and sort of looks 'dead' in a way, if you know what I mean. Her ghoulish eyes make this picture look even better!

Great work as always.
