@sayaashrah.bsky.social#AwesomeCharacters Ashrah has become quite the eclectic demon and has a few activities she can turn to. She endeavours to practice martial arts every day, including walking the circle for 1 hour if she has the time, and having someone to spar with is always nice!🧵
@sayaashrah.bsky.social#SongsOfSeptember 26. I'm going with Ulorzz as the antagonist today, and oh, this song plays in my mind when I think about the confrontation between Ashrah and the Bearer late in Book 1 🔥
@sayaashrah.bsky.social#AwesomeCharacters Only in Eternal Flame, Ashrah has been burnt to ashes (multiple times before the book started), had her arm shredded once, her hand and arm mangled by a poisonous demon on another occasion, her spirit beaten, suffered a bunch of psychic damage 🧵
@sayaashrah.bsky.social#QueerCharChat 25. "My so-called 'parents' mocked me for the lighter shade of my purple skin the moment my form solidified in the Material Plane. They, as well as the other elbhyr of Asymoul, did not stop scorning me until I slew one of them as the first of my countless kills. 🧵
@sayaashrah.bsky.socialFirst drawing in a long time. It does feel good to draw my demon again, even if the drawing is crappy.
@sayaashrah.bsky.socialAshrah strikes a good balance: she's an excellent fighter, and as a commander of multiple demonic armies, she developed a mind for strategies as well. Her rage can get the better of her sometimes and make her dumb, though.
@sayaashrah.bsky.social#AwesomeCharacters Ashrah and Sareena would watch a lot of horror films across all subgenres! Haunted houses is something they'd enjoy exploring too... you know, I should write a short story based on this premise.
Ashrah would also try 🧵
@sayaashrah.bsky.sociallmao I have to quote-repost this because yes, this is Ashrah (at least until she starts identifying as a trans woman... but even, she still very much identifies as a "threat") 🤣🤣💜 #SayaAshrah
@sayaashrah.bsky.social#WIPSnips 24. "Meddle"
Angry Ashrah is scary. Angry Ashrah with psychic magic is... something else 🙃

@sayaashrah.bsky.socialAshrah keeps trying to convince Nitara to engage in a duel to the death until she finally allows the nensii to bite her "for the greater good." She's notoriously quiet after that...
@sayaashrah.bsky.social#AwesomeCharacters "Damn" summarises what someone would think of Ashrah, and what comes next depends on the person.
"Damn, she's rude."
"Damn, she's powerful."
"Damn, she's rude and powerful."
One thing is for certain: Ashrah leaves a *strong* impression with her martial skills 🧵
@sayaashrah.bsky.social#QueerPrompts 20. Ashrah's journey to understanding gender and womanhood, and what those concepts mean to her, until she comes to identify herself as a trans (demon) woman, is an intrinsic part of her journey towards balance and self-love.
@sayaashrah.bsky.social#AwesomeCharacters Ashrah believes the worst has already happened: being enslaved by Ulorzz as well as her deaths, which she promises, after each one, that it will be the last. She doesn't see "happiness" in her future, either, though; that's not a concept she's familiar with. 🧵
@sayaashrah.bsky.social#QueerCharChat 19. "A terrible hex this would be, indeed. I would choose 'I Was Made for Lovin' You' by the Earthrealm band KISS. Nitara says this is our song."
(She'd sing in a monotone with no facial expressions, but she'd get the lyrics right.)
@sayaashrah.bsky.social#SongsOfSeptember 19. Ashrah and Sareena's song 💜💙
"Hold on
I’ll carry you
I’ll carry you
My sister
Hold on
It’s time to find the path
Of least resistance
Hope will be
In the light corners
Of the dawn" 🎶
@sayaashrah.bsky.social#AwesomeCharacters It's hard to choose only one thing I love about Ashrah, but if I have to pick one, I'll say her willpower. It's what makes her such a force of nature; no matter the odds, no matter how hurt she might be, she doesn't give up. That's one of her most sacred core traits.
@sayaashrah.bsky.social#QueerCharChat 14. "I never made a promise that I could not keep. No matter how high the mountain, if I promised to climb it, climb it I shall. No matter how deep the river, if I promised to cross it, cross it I shall. Deception shall never taint my honour."
@sayaashrah.bsky.social#QueerCharChat 13. "I do not sleep, thus I do not wake up. When I meditate, I do not stop because of hunger unless some malicious entity breaches through my defences and afflicts my Breath—which, I must add, has never happened.
"I have no need for mortal food, either. If I am (1/2)
@sayaashrah.bsky.social"I am the fire!
I am burning brighter, roaring like a storm
And I am the one I've been waiting for
Screaming like a siren, alive and burning brighter
I am the fire!" 🎶
