Changed the reference so it was similar to the other references of my characters. Made her appearance far more kitten like, might change so she looks more adult like. Haven't decided how much of a "kitten" she is. This might be a little too kittenish. We'll see, tell me what you guys think.  
Oh my gosh guys...
is this the day,
THE DAY HAS FINALLY COME
I finally did a reference sheet for my character who is also my username! *GAAAAAASSSSSPPPP*
This is just a color and design reference. I've noticed that people who want to draw Denece sometimes have trouble with her design, colors and especially her amulet. ^^; So here's the comprehensive reference. It's still pretty rough. This is just a very basic reference sheet. She's on a log because why not.
As for her character and what am I going to do with her....it's going through a revamp. I have a story for her actually, I'm fleshing out her world and story right now. I don't know how to tell her story. I'm thinking of a graphic novel, I believe that would be the best way to tell it. However, don't expect a graphic novel to be up anytime soon. They are a hell of a lot of work and I don't have the story fleshed out enough. I'm also swamped with work. But I REALLY do hope to create a graphic novel for her! I'm also fleshing out her parents, spoiler, her mother lives past childbirth and by the time the story begins she has BOTH her parents, alive and happy and not abusive. XD Denece will have both her parents and they play a major role in her development. I think that's a very underutilized story element with fantasy story telling. :laughing: Anyway, I do really love Denece and hope to tell her story. 
For those who don't know, Denece is Denise. She's an old character, I created her when I was 9 and I didn't know how to spell Denise so it's spelt wrong. But I'm too attached to the name and spelling. Syloce means "Water/weather Guardian/deity". Denece is a bobcat. 
Funny story, I actually saw "Denece" (a female bobcat) a few days ago. Our creek is flooded so this pretty girl used the sidewalk right in front of me. I was going the same way as her so I "followed" from a safe distance for a time before she crossed the street and went back into the creek. Bobcats are so beautiful, I named her Denece. XD Denece lives in my neighborhood.
I should create a nice reference for her, later...I'm too lazy.

Source of ability: Innate, but the abilities require learning and practice to master. 
Description of ability: The Sylcoe has 2 spirits instead of 1, this second spirit is the Sylcoe Spirit and is the spirit of the original Sylcoe, this gives the new Sycoe the same abilities to travel between both spiritual and physical realms and wield 3 elements out of 6, water, air and darkness. 
Limitations of ability: Learned skill, takes years to master. While very powerful the sylcoe can still be defeated by warrior, element wielders or Seers, especially young ones. Takes massive amounts of every and strength, if the battle is not won quickly after a major attack then the Sylcoe becomes extremely vulnerable to exhaustion.  
Relative power level of ability: (some things can't be revealed because of spoilers) At the most powerful can turn day into night, raise the seas, create tsunamis and generate powerful hurricanes. 
Weapons / Containers: Metal claws, sharp metal blades that can be placed on the claws.Prevent claws from becoming damaged and is much stronger and sharper than regular claws. These kinds of weapons are very common among the felines. Rumors say that there is a agar with obsidian claw sheaths.

Clothing: A simple leather pack for carrying necessities.  
Additional equipment: Amulet

General intelligence: Pretty intelligent, booksmart, but ignorant and naïve about the world in general. 
General sociability: Not very social, keeps to herself, few friends but is very loyal to those few. Gets overwhelmed when meeting lots of new people.  
Personality: A generally happy bobcat with big dreams but isn't confident in who she is or what she wants to do with her life. Doesn't trust herself or her abilities. Struggles with self-doubt. Must stronger tun she realizes. She is a devoted and loyal friend and a caring loving daughter. Loves to learn about how the world works. Her favorite things are reading and exploring. Unconfident in her abilities and strengths. Passive, non aggressive. For a small animal she doesn't like to get into conflicts, especially with bigger animals and tries to find peaceful and hopefully non violent ways of resolving arguments or conflict. Peacceful, kind, compassionate and very empathetic to others needs. Not a good fighter, decent hunter. Has no formal training.
