Sketches of Salir, my FE7 Sain’s girlfriend OC. Last time I drew her, I gave her a haircut, but I decided to see what she looked like before that, and she turned out pretty much how I imagined her, which is great. (I also got a lot of practice with hands done on this picture. : P )
Salir works as a barmaid at the Sword and Squirrel Inn (which name is not supposed to be a reference to her relationship, but there you go : P ), hence the cute apron in some of the sketches.
In personality, she brings the female gaze, and she brings it HARD. Super bubbly, genki, and extroverted, she is good at her job and adores her handsome, silly knight. She’s about 5’3, one of the shortest characters I have. She also has a theme song now. She is disgustingly cute, and she and Sain are even more disgustingly cute together.
The sketch on the middle right is a representation of the first time she really met Kent and Sain, which went sort of as follows:
Sain: I love this little tavern! The lasses are so comely.
Kent: I don’t know why you come to this little village of all places…
Sain: Be of good cheer, my friend! We passed General Wallace’s final test, and we shall be knighted at last! You should lighten up a bit. Maybe talk to some of the girls?
Kent: I’m… not good at talking to… girls.
Sain: But it’s so simple! Observe: Oh, Miss Salir!
Salir: Hello, boys, what can I get you?
Sain: A pair of ales, and some conversation?
Salir: The ales you shall have, but I have other customers, you know, Sir Sain.
Sain: I know, but it’s not so busy right now, is it? Tell, me, you’re sixteen, right?
Salir: Fourteen, actually, sir.
Sain: EHHHHH!!??
Kent: *facepalms* S-Sain…
Sain: But you have such big-
Kent: Sain!!
Salir: *teehee* I know!
Sain: And you’ve been working here since I ever started coming here-
Salir: I know! : D
Sain: F-fourteen…!?
Salir: Did you want those ales?
Sain: Y-yes please…
Salir: And did I hear you say something about being knighted at last?
Kent: That is correct.
Salir: Then you shall have cake, as well, on the house!
Kent: Thank you, Miss Salir.
Sain: *to himself* I… just don’t…
Salir: ;D
For reference, Sain is 18, Kent is 17, and Lyn’s Story is still three years away…
And the sketch on the bottom right is that one time he defended her from bad guys, whether bandits or just super-unruly bar patrons.
