Her ref sheet is done and I'm super happy with how it turned out! LJ did an incredible job with, would highly recommend you poke them if you want a like this when there's an opening! I absolutely adore how this turned out, there's so much of her character and personality on display and I just love it. I also like how it looks like it's a page from a book, that someone wrote, probably after studying her from a distance, so they don't entirely know everything, but just make assumptions and guesses (also allows me to possibly change things in the future if I want)
Some extra info that wouldn't fit on the ref if anyone is interested. Some of it is already on the ref, since I tried trimming it down to key points for the ref, so it's mostly just slightly more in depth I suppose.
Ashura - White Lizard/wingless Dragon originally in her youth/adolescence
Species: Fairy Dragon (not originally)
Gender: Female
Age: Unknown
She's a magical fairy dragon of sorts, heavily attuned towards nature magic. Her base form is without wings, but she can conjure a pair of wings to allow flight via magic, though doing so is very mana intensive especially if more mana is channeled into them to allow greater speed.
The pair of antennae that grows from her head are used to absorb mana from the air and place it in her body, allowing her to make use of it and refill her reserves, allowing her to use magic without risking running out, unless she way overuses or happens to be in an idea with little mana in the air.
In addition, her blue and green parts of her body will start glowing more brightly as she uses more mana, the idea behind it being that they're visual manifestations of where her mana is stored and her magic comes from and act as conduits for it to flow through her body.
Backstory:
In her early adolescence she was a white wingless dragon with basic abilities to use magic, she was living near a big magical forest that she'd frequently go for walks in, collecting and cultivating various flora and just to take in scenery, likely befriending some of the creatures living there.
At some undefined point in time, she was exposed to a huge outbust of mana while exploring an extremely bright light from deep within the forest one day, caused by massive mana build up, the reason behind why is largely unknown, since mana rarely builds up in great amounts before getting absorbed into the local fauna. Upon getting too close to it, the mana sensed a vessel to inhabit and was violently drawn to her, causing severe mana burns on her body. While she wasn't fatally injured, the sudden spike in mana inside her body, much much higher than she was used to, overloaded her senses and caused her to pass out.
The injuries caused by the event healed and fused with the mana, causing big blue and green markings on her body, as well as causing various physical changes. These markings, as a result of their origins, light up and glow more intensely as she uses more mana, since they're used to channel it throughout her body. The black markings on her body bordering the green and blue, is thought to be areas that didn't heal fully with mana, and are essentially mana caused scars of sorts, though it is not entirely know (aka I'm not sure myself, so not going to write myself into a corner. But that's the current idea)
As a result of this exposure, her inherent magical capabilities got drastically improved, and overtime she would learn to harness it to greater degrees and with more control, learning more advanced spells.

Yeeeee, I'm really happy with where she's at atm, and I do have some things about her I also want to play around a bit with, like what spells and magic she's capable of using (not an extensive list, just some notable examples), likely in the form of a sketch page of sorts I imagine when the time comes <:
