Akire Reference Sheet

It's (still technically the 31st for me but it's) time to ring in the new year! Starting off with a "ref" sheet for Akire. This idea came when I looked to her old ref sheet: https://www.deviantart.com/wolfie-pawz/art/Akire-Details-402446718 and wondered how I could improve on the "2 year Aki doodle" while combining it with said ref sheet. SO, over the past week or so I've been creating ref sheets for the main characters! (Starting with Akire, because why not.) In addition, I'll be going a bit further into their family's history too.

Aki: "Step aside, I'll tell you the history as it goes."

Me: "Are you sure? You won't just make up things to save your fur?"
Aki: "What do you mean? No... There isn't even that much to tell.."

Me: "If you say so.." 

SO..

Akire F: (As told from her standpoint it seems..)

"My father was born to, let's just say, a really high, upper-class family. He attended schooling and was determined to follow in his own father's footsteps. But eventually he found himself training to become part of the military; developing his skills in both magic and weaponry. My mother was born to a far simpler family; however, she had a knack for treating injuries and enjoyed providing first aid and then eventually found herself enlisting in the army come wartime.

Both of them fought in the Sraik war against the feline nation of Nelise (which lasted from 110 SME to 114 SME.) That's where he, a high ranking fighter (not a general) became injured during a battle late into the war and where he met her, a field nurse tending to his wounds. After the war was won, the rebellion of Lyford from Sraik (with the help of the Tolans and Foxes) occurred thereafter against a weakened Sraik. Following this, the King at the time decide to step down and allow for his son to take over (the current King of Sraik,  115 SME.) My father at the this time made his way into the position of "Adviser to the King" based on his wartime efforts and connections. 

It would be roughly 2 years later (Fall, Second Moon, 8th, 117 SME) that my brother and I were born. During this, and shortly afterwards it was seen that my father (apparently) began acting differently, more secretive and at times aggressive to others. He became more cold, and certainly more self-centered. He eventually decided, against the will of my mother that the two of us should be sent to the Sraik army at the age of 11 (~128 SME) and from there.. our history follows just like in the comic.. [Starting at Page 90]

Me: "Well that gives sort of an idea of what went down before you were born.. (although  I think I see a detail or two different..)

Aki: "Shut up. It's the truth, and you wouldn't even know."
Me: "But.."
Aki: "You wouldn't know..."

Me: Alright, alright. I guess that's that.

ANYWOOF, be sure to look out for more things I upload, especially in the coming days/weeks! More ref sheets, more ?s answered, and just right around the corner (of course) more Patreon sketches!
