Description

Drrrrr.... *Crawls up from the grave with a pencil, flesh peeling off the rotten bones* I'm alive...!
I can never seem to quite survive my art blocks well enough to keep any watchers actually giving a damn here. XD oh well. c:

Redesigned Spark AGAIN, because the red hair and purple scales combo always irritated me for some reason (but I didn't want to change it.) so I tried to blend them a bit with red-ish markings!
I hope it worked.
Ooh! And I was feeling so motivated that I even wrote a Bio for her! I've no idea what I was on when I did this, but I think it was creativity-steroids! Me writing, pffff...

Feel free to critique her design and bio! (the bio is an extreme subject to change... like its on the cutting table right now.) 
I'll be grateful for any tips and opinions! ^^
Just don't crush my self-esteem plz... ;v;

History/Background:
0-5:: Spark was born an hour after Aiden, soon after the birth her grandmother, Spitfire, insisted her parents would enter both Spark and Aiden in for training in the Basian military, which she worked for in her younger years. Though Vukan was hesitant towards the idea, his wife, Petra decided to follow her mother’s wishes, having seen some things and hearing Spitfire’s stories about the job.
Both of them were chosen out of a small group of children volunteered by their parents, and were moved into a new home, better than their previous one, on the military housing grounds. There they grew up, went to school and explored.
As she grew, Spark developed a love for drawing, scribbling on anything she could scribble on; she was very creative and energetic, playing with her brother in the back yard as often as she could.
At 4, while racing with Aiden, she slipped on the tiles leading to the back garden and fell into the glass door leading to the house, from there on she became a lot more cautious, having to have her hand stitched up.

6-10:: Spark was loud, loved to be the centre of attention and tended to goof around without thinking much of it.
At 6 she was taken to the military base for the first time, meeting many other kids there, she was quick to socialize and didn’t pay much attention to the lessons. But at 7 her self-esteem slowly started crumbling, right after a group of kids she used to hang out with started running away from her and calling her weird, she didn’t think much of it for a while, and started channelling her energy into drawing and painting instead, though slowly she became less social as she grew older, more self-conscious of what she was doing.
At 9 she barely hanged around the other kids, often only playing with Aiden and Camilla, a girl that was also not very confident, though much more unpredictable. She focused more on lessons and slowly improved at what she was taught.

11-16(currently):: Slowly moving up in classes, Spark became more experienced, learning well. At 11 she was put in a group consisting of her, Aiden, Camilla and a new girl, Luna, who she surprisingly quickly befriended, they found out they had a lot in common, never running out of topics to talk about.
By 12 she was gaining her confidence back, becoming happier and energetic again, her skills in fighting were improving gradually, and she learned to work in her team over the years.
At 14 the group was given their first weapons, Spark’s being a sword, though she wasn't happy with it, and found it difficult to use. Not long had passed before she traded it for two whips she found a lot easier to fight with.
From there the team was put under a lot of pressure to do even better, taught to fight in stimulators that reflected the rush of a real battle, sent out on fake spy missions to work on their tactics and thrown into minor missions to help out and gain experience. In these sessions and tests she gained a lot of injuries, and while most healed, a few stayed such as the chip on her left horn.
Despite this, Spark enjoyed it all, not regretting her parent’s decision to put her here, and was happy to experience the ups and downs of life with her team.

If you actually managed to read all of that then you deserve a clap... OVO :iconslowclapplz:
