Maybe a doodle of Malu from the Atla card game?

I didn't know who she was but she's super neat! From the Avatar wiki:

Malu was born to two airbending monks and raised in the Eastern Air Temple. When the Fire Nation attacked the Air Nomads during the passing of Sozin's Comet, her mother hid her away in a cave in order to keep her safe. As such, Malu survived the raid, though her parents were among the first casualties in the war. For years, Malu lived a solitary existence, teaching herself airbending. Despite lacking a teacher, she quickly mastered the art, which helped her to survive. It was not until 10 AG that she came out of hiding and began attacking Fire Nation soldiers. She became a legend in the Earth Kingdom as an enigmatic beauty who supposedly controlled the spirits and could appear and vanish at will.

Malu: The Ghost Witch of The Mountain - a little known Airbender from the long de-canonized Avatar TCG! She was a young escapee of the Eastern Air Temple during the slaughter of the Air Nomads and spent many years hiding in the mountains of the Earth Kingdom before eventually going on the offensive and fighting off the Fire Nation soldiers who threatened people there. She became something of a myth/legend to those who lived in the area as a protector spirit called "The Ghost Witch". Villagers still pay tribute to her and some say her spirit still protects the forest/mountains.

Malu is notable for also being a master of the Airbending sub-bending of Soundbending!

She was always one of my favorite "outside media" ATLA characters and my secret impossible hope is that she somehow gets re-canonized again either through a novel appearance or an appearance in Avatar Legends. I was inspired to draw this partially because like I said, she's one of my favorites, but also because there's this one fanart of (I think) someone's Air Nomad oc that constantly gets shared around and people say it's Malu. While it's lovely art - it's not her/doesn't look like her. So I wanted to try and create a piece of Malu art that well... was actually representative of her that people could share if they wanted to haha

I tried to emulate the Avatar style as best as I could using heavy references and tbh I'm pretty pleased with how this came out! I was also of course inspired by the art of the legend @kkachi95 !!

So, what do you guys think of Malu?

I haven't drawn my dryads in a long while. Managed to clean my room this week, so making art seems easier to initiate. I've changed their designs so many time over the years. If you're curious, check my dryad tag, or their names for older art on my blog. I take a lot of inspiration from the Guild Wars Sylvari these days too.

.

Willow the Dryad - She's got four arms, and no right eye. I used to have brands burned onto their bodies to symbolize Vonnie's extreme cruelty. But I think it might be over the top. So I turned the brand into an eyepatch. As for personality she's shy and speaks very little.

.

Duilla the Dryad - The leader of the bunch. She's got the most art, and I've updated her gardening uniform too. These drawings were colored in with pastels I smudged into the paper, since I was trying to find a full-coverage medium I can use on this flimsy paper without resorting to water-based media. Still had to seal it with mod podge, so there's still a bit of buckling. Duilla is an Irish Ash tree, poached from Ireland, and plays with plant biology. She's the first botanist to create a true black rose, which is why Vonnie snatched her from her woodland and shoved her in the palace garden.

.

Malu the Dryad - Malu is originally based off of a goat and a Hawthorne tree. I'm not from Europe or the UK, but I'd LOVE to visit and see a true Hawthorne in person. And to leave a gift for the faeries of course. Malu is Duilla's little helper, and she's generally chatty and sweet. She doesn't talk about how Vonnie poached her though, maybe it's too painful?

Salah Kira

Aku mengira, kamu adalah salah satu spesies manusia kesepian di bumi ini. Butuh teman, atau bahkan pasangan. Atau paling tidak, butuh seorang 'support-system.' Tapi aku salah. Kamu berada dalam fase paling penuhmu. Kamu berada dalam fase paling menyenangkan dan menenangkan untukmu. Kamu berada di fase dimana kamu telah bahagia. Kamu merasa tidak perlu punya pasangan karena banyaknya temanmu, sudah cukup. Kamu punya banyak pendukung dan orang-orang yang senantiasa mendengarkan keluh-kesahmu. Atau mungkin, sebenarnya, dalam sudut terdalam yang aku tidak tahu, kamu sudah punya pasangan. Kamu sudah punya tambatan hati. Kamu sudah punya dia yang selalu menemani hari. Huh, aku kira kamu yang kesepian, ternyata aku.

"Never, darling," Lee says. "I take all credit for my gruesome murders."

Easily passable as a joke, though the sharp of mind would certainly know that it isn't one. In fact, it's the most honest he had been all night.

He takes the knife back then, and slides it back into the gap between his trousers and skin. Shirt drapes back over, concealing its shine.

"It's rather fun, even if you're only watching, aye." But perhaps he liked his entertainment bloody; not typical, though not entirely atypical either. "You are safe, if you're next to me." His reputation is like barbed wire, and most down below know to keep a distance.

[Fiction] From Caged Marines to Whitebeard Pirates - Chapter 13 pt. 4

Dragon couldn’t believe it after months and months, nearly two years, of searching, he finally found his baby girl, his daughter, at a location where he had already searched first, Marineford. When he received the call from Luffy nearly two years ago, asking to help the Village because a buster call was called, to help them instead of her, he felt nothing but cold fear and his heart skipped a beat. Then he received a call from Makino asking for his help to save his daughter… he nearly didn’t know what to do next despite answering them.

Fortunately, Ivankov was with him at that time and had actually managed to arrange a group of people and shops to rescue the people of Foosha Village, himself and the Okama were included. When he was near the island he could see the houses burning, and the villagers and bandits huddled together at the shore (though a few of them were trying to extinguish the flames).

Docking at the port area of the Village, Dragon had everyone in the village rush and get on the ships (he didn’t bother with the people in Gray Terminal and nobles after all his daughter asked him to help the villagers and thus they are his priorities), telling them to grab whatever they could (all of them missed the Strawhat that fell from a precious girl’s head, leaving it on the ground as they run for safety), especially with numerous Marine ships merely an hour away from the island itself.

They were just a mile away from Dawn Island when they heard cannons being fired, everyone looked up in fear, thinking it was directed at the ships, even though they were behind the island and not at the front to avoid the Marines. Everyone saw the cannonball landing on their home island instead of their ship, and soon enough Dawn was already up in flames. But they couldn’t stay and watched as everything burned down, so the ship continued to sail, heading to one of their hidden bases in East Blue.

Dragon had Makino, Woodslap, and Dadan brought to his office where he was told the whole story and why his Daughter was not with them, the ship had lost two tables, a dresser, and a chair that day. Dragon then had Kuma, Ivankov, and Inazuma help the survivors settle at their base the moment they arrived, leaving the ship immediately to search for his daughter. A few of the revolutionaries had tried to stop him especially when he tried to take a one-man ship but they failed and then Dragon left.

(He nearly forgot to inform Shanks, whom he had met before because Luffy wished for both of them to meet and know each other, on what was going and instead he received a call from the pirate himself a day later, yelling in horror demanding what was going on, how a Sea King had a bloodied hat of their daughter and WHY THE FUCK CAN’T HE CONTACT DAWN ISLAND? It was hard to convince the Pirate to just stay put and not do anything reckless that would garner the World Government's attention after Dragon told him what happened.

Dragon had to remind the Red-Haired Pirate that Garp knew of his relationship with Luffy and that he was a blabbermouth, which would mean that Sengoku, or worse the Admirals, knew about them. If he attacked the Marineford Luffy might get tortured for information about Shanks himself to blackmail him to stop or for revenge.

Benn’s remarks that Luffy may have been hurt or tortured at the moment were immediately rebutted by Dragon, who reluctantly and painfully said that if his daughter is already being tortured, as long as it’s not about those whom she cared about, she’ll be a bit loose lip and then they’ll stop soon enough.

A slight reminder of what happened to Luffy when she was captured by a pirate called Porchemy, who wanted to get information about her brothers, made them realize that yes, it’s better if they weren’t trying to get information about them. It doesn’t make them happy though, truth be told none of the pirates were but they don’t have the subtleness Dragon has and thus are forced to wait.

They then agreed to not tell Ace and Sabo what happened to their sister and about the buster call with the same reason as to why Shanks is staying put as well, especially with the knowledge that those two are hotheaded to anything towards Luffy. Dragon promised to keep the Emperor updated while said Emperor and his crew would be on the lookout for Luffy (though they knew that the chances of them seeing her were low but at least they were doing something) and make sure the brothers were not going to do anything that will harm her.

(They later learn that that was wishful thinking… because despite not doing anything or keeping things low from Ace and Sabo, their daughter still suffered… it made them hate themselves.)

After a few minutes of assurance and then a slight bonding moment for their hatred towards Garp and a huge hatred towards the World Government, Dragon ended the call, while Shanks went to the island they were near and vented out his frustration there.)

The first place he went to was, of course, the place where he knew they’d be bringing his daughter, Marineford, arriving a week later, a day or two late, considering that the tiny base they had in East Blue was three days away from Dawn and a bit further from Reverse Mountain. Still, he managed to successfully arrive at Marineford with the Marines none the wiser.

He scourged the base, hiding in the shadows, listening to Marines talking, searching through each room, even going as far as checking the Prison Cells that are installed in the Marineford (despite the Impel Down being the famous Prison they have, Marine bases still do have their prison cells for minor criminals or for civilians that have committed a crime).

The Leader of the Revolutionaries didn’t know whether to be relieved or worry further when he couldn’t find his daughter, not even a meep of her being brought to the base. The only things the Marines talked about are the Pirates, him (of course, they talked about him), and the Buster Call on Dawn. Dragon even went as far as spying on his Father and the Fleet Admiral but his daughter was not with them and he found no traces of her at all, not even after spying on them for two weeks, and thus he had assumed that they didn’t have her in Marineford but on a different place, and thus he left.

It had never occurred to Dragon to spy on the Admirals or Tsuru, thinking that they would do nothing, especially Tsuru. He would later learn that he was wrong with that thinking, his daughter was in the Marineford this whole time, and he was just spying on the wrong people.

“Oh Luffy…” Dragon muttered, wiping the tears that were running down from his daughter’s eyes. Said daughter sniffed before grabbing his hand and dragging him inside his room, but not before snapping her fingers and letting red mist-like flames cover the room before they both sat down on the bed.

“Tou-san…” Luffy sobbed out, hugging her father’s waist rather tightly, nuzzling against his body, letting him pat her head, his hand running through her hair. Dragon exhaled shakily, feeling a sob forming in his throat, as he comforted his daughter and himself simultaneously. He couldn’t believe it, after nearly two years of searching, of hoping, of fearing… he finally found his daughter.

(Dragon knew it was a bit hypocritical of him to worry about not seeing Luffy when he had left her alone for years, letting her go when she was nothing but a mere toddler. However, at least when she was staying on Dawn Island, in Foosha Village, he could at least check on her (visit her) or have his people do the job for him, though it was mostly her who did the visits.

This time though, she’s with the people whom he considers enemies and he has no one to know her status or her condition, so he has every right to worry as he searches for her, screw the people that said otherwise.)

“Have you been here this whole time?” Dragon asked, after a couple of minutes, Luffy was no longer crying though her body was shaking with long, racking sobs. This made his heart clench in pain and every sob his daughter released was like a stab in the chest, but Dragon didn’t pressure his daughter, waiting patiently for her to calm down and answer his question on her own.

“No…” Luffy finally answered. “Sometimes, I’m in Mariejois or with Vice-Admiral Tsuru. They never allowed me to stay in one place for a long time.”

“I see…” He muttered, eyes narrowing in slight anger but he calmed down and asked. “Why didn’t you call me with den-den mushi again?”

“...” Luffy closed her eyes, before opening them and looked directly into her father’s eyes as she said. “It was taken away from me… by the Gorosei themselves.”

“The Gorosei?” Her father growled.

“Yes, I’m not sure how they knew I have a den-den mushi, but they had their servants check my body for anything suspicious five days after I first met them, and then when they saw the snail… they immediately had it thrown away.” Luffy nuzzled closer to her father as she remembered the despair and the hopelessness when they took the only thing that could help her.

“Why didn’t you contact me after?” Her Father asked softly.

“Because I’m being monitored.” She answered, sitting up and looking at the corner room, the opposite side of her bed and window. When Dragon looked in that direction as well, freezing when he saw a Surveillance Den-den mushi, and it wasn’t only at that corner, the leader of the revolution realized that nearly every corner of Luffy’s room had one.

As the presence of the snails registered his mind, he immediately thought that Marines were on their way to the room and he and his daughter were in danger. Dragon turned to Luffy, mouth open with a demand for them to leave, only to pause when he saw how calm his daughter was with no hint of worry.

“Did you do something to the snails?” Dragon asked, Luffy merely nodded but didn’t provide any explanation and this made her Father frown and wonder if the red mist flame he saw earlier was the reason why no one was showing up despite him being there. “...Do you have any sort of privacy at all here, Luffy?”

“They didn’t put the den-den mushi in the bathroom, though if I do go inside, then they’re going to time me. If I’m not out after a specific amount of time then they would barge in the room, my privacy be damned.”

“Oh, my daughter…” Dragon whispered, not minding that she cursed (her brothers were the worst, so it shouldn’t be a shock that she would catch that attitude of theirs), grabbing the back of her head, and leaning her forehead against his.

“Tou-san…” Luffy started, fidgeting with her finger before inhaling deeply and asking. “Is Dawn fully gone?”

Dragon sighed in defeat at that, inhaling deeply, and then gave her a small smile. “The Island itself is gone…” He started, his daughter nearly started to cry again when he added. “But the people of Foosha are safe.”

“...Makino and the others?” Hearing Luffy’s voice (one that used to shout her dreams, filled with happiness and vibrant) being spoken softly and warily broke Dragon’s heart as it showed just how affected she was by the events that had happened for the past months.

“That’s right, Makino, the Villagers, and the Mountain Bandits are safe.”
