LOL! That's so WEIRD that she smokes occasionally! Like... How do you smoke, but not ALL the time!? x'D I mean, I guess it's possible 'cause I've actually known a few people who like... Never smoke, and then all of a sudden, "Yeah, I just feel like having a cigarette. XD" And then never smoke again either! Like, what the hell? How do you DO that!? xD 'Cause I also know a person who was like "Pfft! I bet I can break a nicotine addiction! >D" Taking up smoking as a challenge and then got hooked on it after one! It makes no sense and it just makes me NOT wanna smoke even more. Lol! xD Which I guess is a good thing, but yay for more character development. :D I would have never thought for Nooba to smoke at ALL, but I guess it helps make her not exactly like you and a lot of people smoke when they're stressed. So maybe when meditating doesn't work, Nooba goes and has a cigarette. Like, it's her guilty pleasure and she only does it when she so stress that she can't handle it and meditating doesn't work. But meditating could also be a good way to keep her from smoking all the time. xD
MY question is, if she had such strict parents, she doesn't look like a bad person. How did she take on smoking in the first place? xD
Also, nice picture. I love the sketchiness and Nooba's expression is wonderful. :D

HAHAHAH!!!! X'D It's possible for people to smoke once in a while. I've had friends that pretty much smoke once in a blue moon, and it's mostly in social situations. It all depends on their motives.
-Are they smoking because they are stressed and because it helps them feel better?
-Or are they smoking because it makes them feel good? LOL x'D

Well, she was raised right in the beginning when her biological mom was still alive. Then when she died, that's when her dad stopped caring about a lot of things, and ends up marrying a bitch. It can totally affect the kid's life. :C Like Graham's situation for example. She took it differently than how Nooba did. XD

So I would figure that Nooba started smoking because she was stressed in the beginning. Then once she found out that meditating helps her a lot better than smoking that's when she figured that smoking wasn't worth it if she's doing it to reduce stress. (Then again, once you start doing something that feels good, it's hard to stop COMPLETELY. So Nooba still does smoke but she has better control over her smoking habits.) If somebody asks her "Hey you wanna smoke?" in a random situation, she'll most likely say No. If she's at a special occassion or a wedding, hell yeah she'll take a smoke! XD

Some people just have better control than others when it comes to smoking. XD One of my close friends pretty much smoke 3 times a year. I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WORKS BECAUSE I DON'T SMOKE ;;3;; I just know it's possible from other people's experience hehe. xD

Thank you Centch! ^w^ ♥ I'm pretty happy with the way it came out!!

Her colors are groovy, great work ma'am. :D
