#but they’re also teenagers here so they wouldn’t resemble book 3 Zaheer much anyway

@katkastrofa: *writes a single throwaway line in one chapter of Lost and Found that is never referenced again*
Me, completely randomly and with no prompting: Alright, bet–
#my art
#artists on tumblr
#the legend of korra
#original characters
#as if I don’t have enough of those already
#I really don’t know what possessed me here. I mean. sometimes my mind did drift to this mention of Zaheer’s sisters
#because broken bonds is my absolute favourite LaF chapter. but I ever really thought of them that much since Kat never brought them up agai
#and then about 24h ago I randomly remembered them again and was like. hey. p’li and ghazan’s sisters play a huge role in our stories
#and ming-hua is an only child. so what of zaheer’s sisters? what are they like? do they ever cross his mind? are they aware of his crimes?
#and in the afternoon I went digging through my art supplies bc I felt like painting and found my old 2020-2022 sketchbook with 2 empty page
#so I thought. why not. it’s been a while since I’ve done traditional art. so I pulled up a reference of rich EK outfits from the artbooks
#and got to work. drew this up in about half an hour? traditional sketching is a lot faster than digital for some reason
#then took a picture and cleaned up and coloured in procreate. and I’m really happy with the end result
#this was hella fun to do as well so.. win-win?
#alright enough backstory rambling. on to the characters themselves
#I looked up Zaheer’s name and apparently that particular spelling is urdu in origin. so I went off that
#the article I found was written edited and fact checked by three pakistani women so I think it’s about as trustworthy as these things go
#summiya means ‘a woman of proper name’ and aiza means ‘respected high place in society’. which I thought were fitting for noble girls
#for outfits and hairstyles. like I said. I turned to the avatar artbooks. those things are life savers. I just played around with colours
#looks wise I colour picked from zaheer and then shifted around a little so they look similar enough yet not like clones of each other
#but they’re also teenagers here so they wouldn’t resemble book 3 Zaheer much anyway
#kat never mentioned ages but since their mother was looking for matches I assumed they were older than zaheer
#he ran off at 11 or 12 iirc. so I decided they would have been 16 and 14 respectively
#though in their community matches are probably made much earlier than actual marrying age. still.
#if it was such a pressing matter that their mother was ‘preoccupied’ with it. then they were probably teenagers right
#that’s what I’m gonna go for anyway since currently I have no information to disprove any of this
#oh yeah Kat btw if you did have images of Zaheer’s sisters in mind before this then you don’t have to replace them. I just filled a blank
#we’ve never talked about them so I assume there’s nothing. feel free to correct me. maybe someday we’ll discuss their personalities/lives
#all I have is that they probably weren’t too close with zaheer. and their lives now are all about husbands kids and status. but we’ll see
#hope you like them anyways <3
