11 - The Risen

Character eleven.

The inspiration to draw this girl came seemingly out of nowhere this morning, but I ran with it. I've never seen a female werewolf design that I really liked, so I did my best here to show what I'd have liked to see. I tried to keep a sense of feral, muscular power while still keeping her clearly feminine.

Amelia Clarks was a relatively ordinary high school senior until the time she and her parents went on a hike in the woods near her home. Her water bottle was running low so she stopped to fill it in a small stream they crossed. Things went uneventfully until the following night, when the full moon was rising, because she suddenly began to painfully transform, soon realizing the stream had been tainted. But as luck would have it, she was able to calm herself down and keep herself from leaving her room that night... She was wearing the bracelets her boyfriend had given to her a few months prior, and her recognition and emotional attachment to the jewelry was just enough to keep her from losing herself. She resolved that she would make the most of her curse from then on out. After learning that the full moon transformation was unavoidable but she could change at will on any other night, she began to train herself to direct her hunger towards only those who deserved it. Nowadays she spends her nights prowling the city in search of crimes to halt, acting as a rather unconventional superhero.
