Desert Rose Rough Ref

Still have to make a proper fancy ref for her (and I need to redraw the main three flower folks again since I changed them a bit hrnggg)

If I were to actually write out this whole, huge, long story with Peony and the gang, Desert (and Strelit) would come out in the second arc/part 2 of the story;;  The plan is that Desert and her boyfriend (idk his name/plant yet) rescue Peony and Strelit in the middle of the desert (Peony splits up with Kalmia and Chrys at one point and he needs to save them)


More bg info/plot time~

Desert Rose is a spirit gal (spirit of sand), and has the ability to manipulate sand, and other small particles (like dust, pollen, loose dirt, etc).  She also has whips on her belt that she uses alongside the sand that she has in her back bags. As Desert and her boyfriend are from the desert tribes, they are very spiritual with gods and spirits (Peony's tribe tends to be spiritual with monsters).  These people have a tradition to sacrifice one (or more) or their senses in exchange of gaining connection to the spiritual world.  Desert sacrificed her voice in exchange of partially becoming a seer. (she can't really tell the future; just that she can tell which individual to trust/guarantee a better outcome).  This comes in handy because when she and her boyfriend comes across lost travelers (such as Peony and Strelit), she can tell whether to rescue or kill them (as they may be bandits)

Her Boyfriend is way more hardcore (and plot heavy), but I've gotta come up with his visual design first cries.
