Sarah Sequoia

Original date drawn: 2/15/2025

This artwork, while created a few months ago, may now appear somewhat dated in terms of style and technique. However, it holds personal significance as it marks an early phase in my transition to using FireAlpaca for digital illustration. This piece is essentially a remastered portrayal of my original character, Sarah Sequoia, refined through my evolving experience with the software.

Sarah Sequoia is a white fox character who plays an important role in my fictional universe. She is best friends and possibly more with another character named Viney. Sarah is deeply caring and always eager to support Viney, especially during moments of difficulty. One such example is Viney's ongoing struggle with mathematics, where Sarah steps in as a patient and encouraging presence.

Nature is a key aspect of Sarah’s identity. She finds great comfort in snowy mountains and pine forest landscapes, which serve as her mental sanctuary. Although she lives in the city with Viney, she frequently seeks solace in the nature park areas within the urban environment, where she can reconnect with the peaceful elements she cherishes.

Personality wise, Sarah is kind-hearted and empathetic, but she can become easily stressed when placed under pressure or surrounded by high expectations. During such times, she copes by listening to calming music particularly chill lo-fi and soft ambient tracks to help center herself.

Sarah is one of several original characters I’ve developed for fun, alongside Viney, Cody, and Keven. Together, they are part of a lighthearted tradition celebrating the month of June as a time to honor and support everyone in embracing their true selves.

In the meantime, Thank you for taking the time to read about this piece and the story behind it. I appreciate your interest, and I wish you a pleasant and peaceful day or night, wherever you may be.
