Wendy's Friends (at least her two closest ones)

(explanation: Wendy is Sephiroth's future daughter which is more or less outlined here and here.)

The one on the left is Jenina 'Jenny' Salazar and the one right is Astrid Fellow.

Jenny

Short (Around 147-148 cm).

The first friend Wendy made in secondary school (first year). Both girls resonated with each other for their lonely experiences in school and became quick nerdy friends.

A singer who wants to partake in musical theater. Has regularly attended choir.

At the age of 11 she had discovered the most alluring epic poem (yes it's Loveless). How could she not, with lore, history and potential mystical connections to the world she lives in?

She has some lines memorized and named her cat Alphreid (nerd)

Good-natured, sweet and cheery, but is a worrywart who needs to be quelled by her friends.

Takes school seriously, maybe a bit too seriously...

She was scared of Seph when she first met him with Wendy. 7 feet tall, inhuman eyes and an unsettling smile, the poor girl XD.

But she eventually comes to know that he is actually a nice guy. Almost every time she comes to Wendy's house, they are served food by him and he attempts to get to know her (wild!).

When he learns of her special interest in Loveless, he quotes it to her and her eyes brighten.

"You know it too?"/ Seph gives a nod and smiles, it becomes less scary to her, "Yes, I had a friend who knew Loveless off by heart, it was to the point I learned where the Acts and verses were."

An alluring conversation kicked in and Seph let the girl ramble about what she had learned. Wendy is glad her new friend and father are getting along. And whenever Sephiroth here's his daughter call out 'Jen', he almost see's a glimpse of the past...

Astrid

Wendy and Jenny befriended her in second year.

Had a rough start in life with abusive parents and as a result, cultivated a strong personality.

When she was transferred, teachers decided to pair the delinquent, frequent swearer child with the nerdy Wen and Jen. Even when terrified, they girls made their best attempts to reach out to her.

They learn that she is quite the doting sister ("He's my baby!" she points to the picture of a tiny young boy with blonde curls). But when Jenny points out the bruises under her sleeve, asking if she's okay, Astrid withdraws and changes the conversation.

Astrid saw the girls as easy prey that can get taken advantage of so she found herself looking out for them. She never knew that they would save her and her brother in the end.

Action was took when Astrid stopped attending class for a week and Wendy and Jenny cried to Seph and his wife for help.

When Sephiroth came to carry away her from the hell she lived in, it was one of the instances she began to feel safe...

They managed to pull Astrid and her brother out of the bad conditions. For a while, she lingered in the Crescent's house to heal. No one yells and the rooms don't stink. Wendy's calm and Jenny's enthusiasm filled her heart, no... they weren't weak, their light made her strong and she will help them be strong.

Astrid's temperament maybe be different from his late friend, but when Sephiroth see's her mother her friends around and her declaring her loyalty to them on the dinner table. He can't help but chuckle and sigh.

Fiery, bold and ballsy, she finds her honor in loving and being loyal to her friends and sibling and she is starting to cultivate her own dreams.

Wendy reflected on the stories her father told her, and she remarks about the poetry in the reflections of the past. Jenny approves of this, Astrid thinks it's awfully sentimental and "ughs!" about the fluffy feelings its giving her. But alas, there is a test they are studying for and they land their eyes back to the books.

I got to think about how Anne's (she/they) design has changed over the years since their intial drawn design in July 2021! So here's a whole post about that! Putting the rest under the cut since it turned out long oops.

[7/6/21] The initial picture (above) is the first drawn OC art that I can honestly say I'm proud of. I liked the color scheme compared to the blues/greens that would make her look more like her siblings (especially Medb), so reds and pinks became her palette! Along with orange eyes because I thought they looked nice (and they do but more so later on!)

[10/15/21] Next up is Anne cosplaying Blueberry cookie from cookie run kingdoms! I do like how this turned out, but I know I had a long way to go in terms of design.

[12/30/21?] These are some doodles because I wanted to come up with more outfits (and draw outfits I would see via ads) and these are okay. I prefer the first one and the second one is lacking tbh.

[2/21/22] I was planning on making a 4koma style comic that just has everything escalating, but I scrapped it since it doesn't feel that funny to me. I do like hair down Anne though, so I cropped that out and use for reference sometimes.

[10/21/22] This was done for an art warm up, the theme was coffee! I changed her palette (mostly skintone) because I felt it fit her more! I really like this art and I hope to redraw it when I work on drawing black hair again! It has such a cozy vibe that would work when they're just getting up in the morning.

[11/28/22] And this is the full art of her current design! I still want to work on it (giving her leggings and shoes, probably boots) I'm really happy with this design, especially how the colors work together! The pinks and orange are nice focal points while the browns and reds compliment them nicely. It's a shame I haven't drawn her more recently than this (other than OC-Tober) but I'm happy this design is this good!!!

[10/20/23] SPEAKING OF OC TOBER!!! Look at them! flourishing!! (siblings from top to bottom: Edan, Rupin, Anne, Grainne, and Medb) I love them all dearly and I miss them.

To wrap this up: have a bonus pretty dress sequence feat. Anne, Grainne and Medb! from September/October 2021! Anne is cosplaying Sarah from the ballroom scene in Labyrinth and the other two are in random dresses I found!

Thank you for reading this far, you're awesome and I hope you have a great day! 🫶
