Almost right after I finished their reference pics, I thought maybe Nerissa (and Keena) should maybe have white or silver hair.

And I was intending for rich and powerful characters to be darker skinned, generally, because they spend a lot of time basking in the sun. That should make Nerissa fairly tan, but it never seemed right.

But recently I saw a tanned ashen-haired woman in a video game, and I thought, let's try it!

Have to draw more before I decide if I stick with it....
