#AwesomeCharacters Honestly, I could give this one to any of the Big Three, as they're all incredibly committed to their missions. But Sareena has a... wrench there, and I do think Ashrah ultimately earns the gold metal over Nitara. Will sharper than her sword and all that 💪🏽🔥

#AwesomeCharacters Ashrah slays strong foes, flays them, and crafts her armour with their hides :)

The orange pieces? Skin of a qsultar, a Minotaur-like demon, which makes it a light but incredibly tough piece of armour. The horn on her pauldron? From the same🧵

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah

Full-body digital illustration of Ashrah by Sasha (@sashthesloth.bsky.social). She wears her Bound By Flame outfit, composed of a grey selendang-like garment draped over her left shoulder and arm, pinned in place by a shoulder armour with a Minotaur-like horn melded into it, an orange chest piece, same colour of a sarong-like skirt and gladiator sandals, and golden arm bracers with Infernal symbols representing strength, power, and will engraved onto them. On her right hand, she wields Datusha, her keris-shaped sapient sword, while on her left palm hovers a sphere of the Eternal Flame. She looks straight ahead with a serious expression.

#WIPSnips 15. “Pass”

Sareena hasn’t quite understood the situationship yet, but she’s about to…

#ChroniclesOfTheRealm #SayaAshrah #CaptainNitara #NetherTouchedSareena #Ashtara #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

She could not identify the concubi, but one thing was certain: none of them was Nitara.

“Doesn’t seem to be any survivors,” Sareena declared.

“But there may be clues in the ship.” Ashrah only needed to kill those demons before they destroyed what remained of the vessel. “Can you create a distraction?”

“The way to Nekros is through there!” The Nether-Touched pointed to a narrow pass formed by two cliffs, in the opposite direction to where Quan Chi’s forces conducted their search. “Fighting them will only draw unwanted attention.”

“Nitara will not escape retribution.”

“Is she more important than escaping Arak’shiir?” Sareena shout-whispered. “More important than your freedom?”

#LitHodgepodge 15. Ashrah is The Architect, INTJ (very close to me, INFJ). It matches her greatly because it speaks of her pragmatism, curiosity, independence as one of her core traits, and her relentless pursuit of knowledge, while also recognising difficulties in expressing her 🧵

#SayaAshrah

Personality type: Architect, INTJ.

A SFW snippet of the upcoming #Ashtara Kinktober short story, which I still need to edit 👀

#SayaAshrah #CaptainNitara #OCNSFW

Ashrah gripped Nitara’s shoulders and turned her around. Her hands slid down the captain’s chest, smoothing the creases of her shirt, and slipped under her waistband.

Nitara arched an eyebrow. “What are you doing, oruloele?”

“If you insist on remaining in your cabin, then I know a way to make you forget about your problems for a while.”

“I don’t think we—”

A finger at her lips silenced her. “Hush, now, my heart. From your mouth, allow only pleasure to find a voice.”
@sayaashrah.bsky.socialOct 14, 2026, 12:06 PM

#LitHodgepodge 14. One of my favourite uses of simile in EF:

“Surrender, beasts of chaos, for you have nowhere to run now.” Her voice cleaved the silent hamlet like a blade through decomposed flesh, trembling the spectral forms of her enemies.

That is, of course, #SayaAshrah 🔥💜

@sayaashrah.bsky.socialOct 13, 2026, 10:15 PM

#AwesomeCharacters Ashrah had heard of creatures she thought would make for worthy opponents—such as Archdevil Malekhall and, later, Shao Kahn—but she didn't really have good examples to look up to until Azzer'fir. "Want to live up to" is a strong sentence 🧵

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah

@sayaashrah.bsky.socialOct 13, 2026, 12:11 PM

Look at how cute she looks in her Balanced Form (when she's not tearing through enemy hordes) 🥺😭🥰

Thank you @aspiringlandmerm.bsky.social for this lovely artwork of my baby demon! 💜

#SayaAshrah #ChroniclesOfTheRealmsArt #FantasyArt

Three-quarter, digital portrait of Ashrah, from Chronicles of the Realms, by Sara (@aspiringlandmerm.bsky.social). It depicts Ashrah in her Balanced Form, meaning we see her straight, ringed horns in her otherwise human-looking face. She also has her usual frown.

#WIPSnips 13. “Blue”

Sareena’s skin is blue, which may be a random choice… or not 🙂

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #NetherTouchedSareena #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

“Oh, no. Someone far, far worse. The Covenant of Shadows and its leader, Quan Chi.” Ashrah frowned at the unfamiliar names. “And I don’t mean leaving just Saarvyl. I’m getting out of Arak’shiir.”

Ashrah stayed her sword and, for the first time, truly looked at the half-breed in front of her. Blue skin with pale, greyish-purple horns curving above waves of black hair streaked with white, long, pointy ears, a tail with a triangular tip waving in the ashen cold. A mischievous smile that refused to leave her lips. She was no warrior, that much Ashrah had already determined, but she had shown discernment and decent enough skills when fighting the marrkals. Could her declaration be more than an empty wish?

“You would need a portal,” Ashrah said.

The Nether-Touched’s grin widened, showing a hint of pointed teeth at the corners of her mouth. “And I just so happen to know of a permanent one.”
@sayaashrah.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 10:17 PM

#AwesomeCharacters Martial arts. All of them XD

Okay, for the sake of entertainment, let's consider a second option.

For Ashrah? Fencing, of course! Earning medals for showing off her sword skills? Perfect!

I think Nitara would enjoy some kind of group-style 🧵

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah

@sayaashrah.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 3:45 PM

Ashrah would locate the spirit and either aid them find peace or banish them. Perks of being a powerful Mystic :)

I've actually started writing a short story showing her and her sister exploring a haunted house. We'll see if I finish it before Halloween...

#SayaAshrah

@sayaashrah.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 3:44 PM

Once their three-book-long enemies-to-allies-to-friends-to-lovers dance ends, Ashrah and Nitara will finally be a happy relationship... well, kind of, a lot of shit will happen around them, BUT they'll face them as a strong, happy couple 🥰💜🖤

#SayaAshrah #CaptainNitara #Ashtara

A digital illustration of Ashrah and Nitara, from Chronicles of the Realms, by Seph (@goethial.bsky.social‬). It depicts the two characters back to back, holding hands, as they prepare for another fight, Ashrah brandishing Datusha, her sentient, keris-shaped sword, and Nitara summoning her dark magic. One of Nitara's wings stands behind Ashrah, almost like a shield, while the other is behind Nitara herself, in shadows. Nitara is about a head and half taller than Ashrah.
@sayaashrah.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 12:17 PM

#LitHodgepodge 12. Ashrah: "Honour and will. Without those, the soul is weakened, and it is undeserving of my companionship."

Nitara: "Compassion. Compassion to seek understanding and to fight for what is worth."

#WIPSnips 12. “Pulse(s)”

Lots of Pulse(s) in the story when that’s the word for the global time measurement of Arak’shiir/Netherrealm.

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #CaptainNitara #Ashtara #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

Now she opened her eyes and squinted at the demon, who was sitting on a block of iron and staring down at her, trying to gauge whether Ashrah was making fun of her. No, the captain decided. She doesn’t have the capacity for humour. “How old are you again?”

“Sixty-one thousand, two hundred and forty-seven Pulses. Why do you ask?”

Nitara choked on a gasp. She remembered then how time passed faster in the Netherrealm, which created the vast difference between its Pulses and the years in other realms. After a quick calculation, she estimated Ashrah would be around twelve thousand and four hundred years in the Vaeternian calendar. Still a tremendous amount, but relatively easier to wrap her head around than sixty-one thousand. “Honestly? Because I must be losing my mind.”

Ashrah nodded, solemn. “That is indeed a consequence of exposure to the Abyss. I propose a pact: I shall allow you to drink my alarun and regenerate your strength, and in exchange, you shall agree to fight me until one of us can no longer stand.”
@sayaashrah.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 1:55 AM

Believe? Ashrah is a commander of spiritual magic and forces and has an astral lioness as her companion :)

@sayaashrah.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 10:12 PM

#AwesomeCharacters "Curiosity" is Ashrah's middle name! Not only does it influence the plot (if she weren't so curious, she wouldn't have gone after Datusha), but it also influences her inner journey, since it's precisely that curiosity that provides a measure🧵

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah

C💀🫜 Charlie (Chelizabeth) Delta 🦊👻@charliedeltawrites.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 10:05 PM

Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters As a curious person, I can't help but wonder: If your character curious? Are they always seeking answers? Driven to uncover the truth? Is it relevant to the plot? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#QueerPrompts 11. The only coming out in the story is from Ashrah. She didn't know about gender and stuff before, and after she learns it, she identifies herself as a trans (demon) woman.

"Coming out" isn't much of a thing in the queernormative realms.

#SayaAshrah

@sayaashrah.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 11:28 AM

#LGBTQWriteAThon 11. “Mysterious”

Perilous, but there was no other choice. To find the mysterious entity calling to her, Ashrah must brave the Silk Colony and its ravenous queen.

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

@sayaashrah.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 10:16 PM

#AwesomeCharacters Ashrah's unwavering sense of honour is the first thing that pisses Datusha off about its new wielder. Her honour is a part of her, and breaking it would mean tainting her sense of self. If she cannot accomplish her goal without preserving her 🧵

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah

@sayaashrah.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 3:57 PM

Well, Ashrah is a demon who, as she progresses, gains control over her spiritual magic, which means she's sometimes surrounded by spirits, and unlocks her Balanced Form, a blend of her natural demonic form with her human skin.

So yeah, she can be spooky depending on whom you ask x)

#SayaAshrah

A digital illustration of Ashrah by Orlando B (https://bsky.app/profile/sarkastiklover.bsky.social). It shows her in her "Duality Form," half-human and half-demon, the latter represented by her ringed horns and the left hand in her purple demonic skin and claws, closer to the viewer. Her other, human hand, is behind her and grips Datusha. We see Ashrah from a high-angle view, her face set into a deep frown as she readies herself for battle.
