Started this at midnight and finished at 5:33am x.x. there was gonna be a story with this but I lost the feeling for it lmao.

Suffice it to say that Sira at one point developed a pretty nasty substance abuse problem that only got worse after her time as a prisoner of another mercenary company. She started off with booze and quickly moved on to other, more harmful drugs like Mithik [little liquid vials that on a good day, make you feel weightless and carefree, and during a bad trip cause some pretty nasty hallucinations]. She also (like me) develops and pretty much all her life has a bad habit of punching walls until her hands bleed. We have matching scars in that department.

This is also the first full pic I've done since her sneaky redesign, in which I never made a big deal but did update her reference sheet. I made her anthro / feline forms silver again, since she's been silver pretty much since I originally created her, even with the few years she spent black and blue.

This is pretty early in her life and career with the merc group; she's still a trainee so she doesn't have her designation tattoo on her collarbone yet, and she's got fewer scars. This is also several decades before the event that turned her mentor against her, so she's lacking the iconic throat scar she has later in life. She has however already picked up the habit of dyeing her bangs blue.

Here she'd be about 25; having been with the company for about a year and a half, she's not coping well with taking lives, or with everyone else's nonchalant attitudes about their job.

Please note that 25 for a werebeast in her world is barely more than a teenager. Legally adult in human society, but not finished developing mentally and emotionally and therefor not an adult in were society. Werebeasts develop more slowly due to their increased lifespans, up to 300 years in the case of werecats like Sira.
