Another member of the group to go along with Tedric and Ruby, this is Twyla! She’s got a bit of a temper, and she’s not too fond of being used as a pack mule or as a hunter’s latest catch either. While she’s aware of her large size and imposing nature, in actuality the last thing Twyla wants to be is scary. Her father, a famously aggressive warrior, prides himself on his fighting prowess compared to other centaurs with predators for their animal halves, and hoped that Twyla would follow suit.

Despite her being a centaur rather than bipedal, I still didn’t want her design to look exactly like Orion’s, though with a similar base inspiration that’s harder to avoid here. I think the addition of pink helps even if I still used green and orange. So long as I’m not making the exact same character or concept, I don’t typically mind when my characters have similarities if they’re from different stories, but I played around with her face and other features to tip the scales back a bit. This one spent a LOT of time in the oven as far as the colour scheme went, and balancing the deer and moose features took some finessing too, but I’m happy with the final result.
