new sona: Hier

Description

Hier. Pronounced "hee-air", but more fluidly. Like a wisp of breath on the tongue, it's here and then it's gone. A quiet word, but one that still has an unmistakable presence. It floats for just a moment, heard but perhaps not seen or recognized. Like an exhale of breath it flows out of your lungs and then...disappears, dissolves into the air around you. That is Hier.

Hiereux is her full name (pronounced differently because who knows why: hai-row). Female, loner, wanderer, quiet, reserved, cerebral. What she lacks in strength (she's so weak pft) she makes up for in wit and agility. Loves the wind, flying, nature, solving puzzles, and contemplating the mysteries of the universe. A seeker of peace and knowledge; wants to learn as much as she can from everyone she meets and to hear their stories. She enjoys hearing others' points of view on every topic imaginable, and sees this as a way to better understand the world. Offer her a scone and a cup of hot tea and she'll talk with you all day long.

She also enjoys creative endeavors like writing and drawing, and loves nothing more than sharing her own creations and getting to see and be inspired by others'. She can sit on the same hill all day, lost in thought and enjoying the sun and wind. She observes the passage of time but is not moved to do anything by it, she simply...lives. She's unfazed by almost anything and is very calm by nature: you'll only see her get legitimately angry if one of her morals is threatened or someone else does something unforgivable. For this reason too weather does not affect her: she'll just as soon stand out in the rain than in the sun or snow. Basically she's super chill.

Random specs:
Height- around 4-5 feet/1.2-1.5 meters at the shoulder- she's like a small horse/is fairly tall
Weight- who knows? who cares? Her bone structure is light though, and her whole body is fairly light because she's very slender/can fly. Somehow those tiny wings can hold her aloft. Disregard Earth physics haha.
Diet- tea, berries, scones...she's fond of pastries and baked goods...I imagine she gets jam on her face quite often XD
Theme music (subject to change): eveningstarmusic.bandcamp.com/…
Etc: cold natured (ie, she gets cold easily and thus enjoys warmth/lying in sunny spots), not easily bored, a nomad, avoids violence/war/conflict
/etc

So....new sona. I've been fed up for a while now that Skye (who I love dearly still, and will continue to be one of my characters) was so...bland. First it was her design, which I revamped, but then....just her basic canine-ness felt...unsatisfying. So, reasons for the complete switchover:
-wolf/canine characters are so common
-I want a sona that matches me in form as well as color/markings, and by that I simply mean my take on exaggerated anatomy and what I find pleasing....so basically not being constrained by reality anymore, to an extent
-I wanted something beyond a wolf/wolf mix, something still canine in its roots (cause they're beautiful), but still different enough to be sort of ambiguous. No one will be asking if this is a fox or wolf. Fox-thing? Yeah. Straight-up fox? Clearly not XD
-I wanted to combine lots of things I find pleasing, basically...sleek/slender anatomy, feathers and wings, skeletons, etc...

TL;DR: I wanted to design a unique character that represents myself, both aesthetically and whatever else. I have been discovering and reinventing myself in recent years, and I feel this personal rebirth of sorts deserves a new, landmark character to represent the re-booted me.
