#Suiren is the oldest sister whose main weapons are her snark and sarcasm (and her water whip)

Just four sisters, chilling in their pyjamas on an abandoned tea farm at sunset, whispering about... y’know... whatever

[ID: A digital drawing of four characters: Korra from The Legend of Korra and three OCs from LoK centric fanfiction. They’re sitting on a wooden veranda with a reddish orange sunset sky and a few faint clouds in the background. On the left end, Midori, a Mingzan kid OC from Seeds of the Red Lotus, is leaning back with her legs folded under her, propping herself up on her right hand. Her hair is black and falls just past her shoulders, and her eyes are grey. She is wearing a mustard yellow shirt with elbow-length sleeves and green hem, matching yellow pants and a warmer green undershirt. On her right is Korra, sitting with her legs crossed and her arms behind her. She has her Book 4 hairstyle. She is wearing a grey tank top and light blue baggy pants with a darker blue hem. On her forearms are matching black tattoos patterned after Water Tribe armbands. On her right is Nazra, a P’heer kid OC from Empty and Become Wind, who is behind a yellow paper fencing. She is drawn from the chest up, wearing a green long-sleeved shirt with a grey hem. Her hair is up in a high ponytail with the sides of her head shaved, and her eyes are a brownish red. On her forehead is a combustionbender tattoo, patterned after P’Li’s but more detailed. An outline of her legs is seen as a shadow through the paper fence. Her elbows are resting on the wooden beam above the paper fence and her hands are folded in front of her. On the right end is Suiren, a Mingzan kid OC from Seeds of the Red Lotus and Midori’s older sister. She is sitting on the wooden beam with her legs hanging downward but not reaching the ground. Her hands are rested behind her on the beam, supporting her. Her hair is long and black, styled in a low ponytail with a light yellow hair tie, thrown over her left shoulder, and her eyes are golden brown. She is wearing an oversized blue shirt with elbow-length sleeves and a light yellow hem. The right sleeve is falling off her shoulder, baring her collarbone. Her mouth is open and she is looking to her right. Midori, Korra and Nazra are all looking at Suiren. Their shadows are all falling left. /End ID]

I tried adding an image description to this, and it’s my first time actually writing one so let me know if you find anything I need to correct.

Y’all would not BELIEVE the hoops I had to jump through to get this done-

1) It took me 2 weeks

2) Halfway through the shading I remembered that in EaBW, Korra is supposed to have tattoos patterned after Water Tribe armbands and had to start over

3) I thought I was done but then I realised I drew the shadows the wrong way

4) I’ve only drawn Korra twice before AND HER HAIR IS A PAIN

5) THE POSES

6) THE FUCKING LIGHTING

I could keep complaining but I’ll stop while I’m ahead

I feel like Suiren would inherit her mother’s storytelling prowess and would often make up stories for her sisters, even when they’re no longer kids. She’d probably first start doing it when they were running through the desert after Korra’s parents died (and when they arrived in Zaofu) so that her sisters wouldn’t be scared, and maybe she’d start it up again when they go to Republic City to attempt to maintain some sense of normalcy and familiarity.

Suiren and Midori are from my own fic, Seeds of the Red Lotus, while Nazra is from the Fate Amenable to Change series by @esaleyon and @felicity-kitten
