Naelis in the First Breeze of Summer

Meet Naelis, a 32-year-old warrior from *The Hero’s Scar*. Naelis serves as Bermen’s second-in-command. She is disciplined, observant, and calm under pressure, with the strength and military training needed to fight alongside her unit. During the final battle against the red-eyed purple wolf, she takes an active role both as a strategist and as a warrior. Although Naelis has already appeared in the story, this is her first standalone special illustration as one of my featured original characters. For this image, I wanted to show a quieter side of her, far from armor and battle. Dressed in a light early-summer one-piece and surrounded by flowers, Naelis keeps her reserved and composed presence while enjoying a peaceful moment beneath the warm seasonal light.
