Description

I believe that the characters we create reflect ourselves in many aspects, whether we mean them to or not. Many times they are a way to cope, to deal with and maybe overcome the things that in the real world we are powerless to change. That is how Jivu came to be.

I've had a rough summer. My brother overdosed, my cousin disappeared then tried to kill herself, my grandfather died very suddenly, and my best friend was raped. I think I'm okay because I created a character who chose a different way to handle her problems. 

After losing her mate and cubs to a group of violent rogues, Jivu became a ruthless killer of those who would harm others. She also founded a safe haven for mothers and cubs where males are not allowed, unless they pledge undying loyalty to Jivu under penalty of death. She refused to be a victim and instead became a strong and merciless guardian for those who could not guard themselves. That's what I wish I could be. 

She is also incredibly scarred from her encounter with the rogues, but I didn't add them to this drawing. I haven't figured out a pattern that I like yet.









I'm okay I promise.

Oh, Kat..I am so sorry for your loss. Jivu is beautiful and beautifully drawn. You can always talk to me if you need it. It's okay to not be okay.
