Aria Ljosalfar

"Not 'Lucifer', Ljósálfar. Aria Ljosalfar. I know that if I looked at your lineage I would find someone with the same last name. My family tree has its origins in a being that wasn't native to this planet, who could change its body. There were a lot of these beings a long time ago. They were curious about this world and created bodies for themselves, and many of them eventually mixed with humans. Most of our bloodline is norse, Ava. We're human.

...

"They're the reason why older civilizations talk about chimeras and mythical creatures. Especially Greek mythology, Egyptian mythology, and before that they were recognized as 'star people' by various tribes of the Native Americans.

...

"Those beings were once considered magical. Most of them quickly became totally consumed in sexual desires, changing themselves into various creatures, and they gradually lost their powers completely. They changed into abominations of themselves and reproduced like animals, some looked like monsters and some were slain because they truly became monsters.

"There was a way back to their native world. It was, and continues to be, the path of knowledge of the Self. Its a graceful road to a greater world, and even we humans are able to walk it. Its a path of truth, self-awareness, free expression, intellect, harmony. 
Many of those beings hardly chose the path back to their grace. They chose fleeting desires and animality for generations, which with every other value falling away, tends to lead to a meaningless life. They had no guidance, it was a different era. 
We're not in that era of lawlessness, freedom and prevalent blissful ignorance like they were.
Auta, like a handful of others, kept the world on a path of civilization, an intelligent society.
Though she did so unknowingly. She was just as innocent as you are...

...

"Change has to come about for the sake of the innocent. And I will be the one who does the dirty work of killing the people who have gotten in the way of that true path, the same kind of people who will understand what vengeance is, what justice is, and who will serve as an example to the nearly inhuman animals that we continue to share a world with---so that they know that order is going to be enforced for the good future of humanity.

...

"We weren't meant to be the slaves of a dysfunctional society, or the beneficiaries of it reaping luxury from the slavery of the ignorant and innocent. Your father was right about all of that. He was right to try to keep his family out of that world, and it was destiny that brought us here together, Ava." 

(From a different scene.)



A sketch of Aria with a gun. She is reloading it. Aria is a young adult who goes through a tragic event where her friends are murdered, that changes her life. She fixes the remnants of her broken inner life by pursuing a goal of vengeance. Along the way, she becomes more clever and knowledgeable about the world, and her values change dramatically. She sacrifices a lot of herself to protect the innocent. 

I don't like showing her naked, so I drew athletic tape on her.
