While she is far from finished, I wanted to join in on the fun of sharing snow pictures of my creations. So I might as well start now. I'll expand this thread as I make progress with the other characters and Tanea herself. Tanea is the only one who comes close to capturing the essence of what she looks like, but it's hard to find close fitting stuff that matches the design in my head.
"Dream of Me" started out as a 22-page comic book story, expanded into a comic book series, which I then changed to a movie script. The first of three. Which has been unfinished for years.
We are in Azardea, a city in a parallel world that is connected to ours via a Dream World. Here people have never forgotten the connection between spirit and science. Mindless entertainment is harder to find, but you will find well built long lasting and beautiful buildings, electrical transport and plenty of greenery.
People in this world usually have enhanced abilities of either physical or mental nature, but never both. (Except for Maek. He is quite the anomaly, but this thread is not about him yet...) Until recently the physically gifted were the losers of society, their talents and focus being thought of as "lesser".
Seers rule this world. The center of education (and control) is The Academy at the heart of Azardea, where people are trained to travel the Dream World, a privilege initially only given to the mentally gifted. The initial and official mission is to learn from the travels, but a threat has emerged and dreamers need protecting, as well as the travellers themselves. The public is not aware of the dangers that lie within, but suddenly The Academy opened its doors to the physically gifted...
Maek is the leader of the top expedition team and Tanea is his second. She is a Hunter (the name given to those with physical talents), and her strongest talents are strength and robustness. Naturally she fights in close combat, preferably with a big fat sword (which, much like her armor, she doesn't have yet).
She has a mind of her own and won't follow anyone blindly. In Maek she has found someone she will follow/co-lead and fight to the death with. And of course there is chemistry, too, but their relationship is complicated. While they trust each other fully and will get intimate, too, they also keep a certain emotional distance, possibly due to them sensing that life has big things in store for each of them, and it may lead them in different directions...
Aside from being a champion in the arena (a semi-public forum for Academy team sports in the spirit of Capture the Flag) she is happy to stay under the radar and live in Maek's shadow. He keeps her rebellious nature in check, while she challenges his blind loyalty whenever she sees fit.
Her element is Earth. Her totem animal is the bear.
There is a forest on The Academy grounds where she loves to take walks, and sometimes they get snow, too.
