"But Ciiiiaraaaa, I can't go out like this!" Emer examined the new dress with distaste, then shot her mother a stern glare. "What are people going to think?"
Ciara gave her a motherly smile and fixed the bow in her hair with no regard for good taste. "They'll think you're a very pretty young lady, just like I do. Not stop squirming. It's only for one day, it won't kill you to wear it for a day, will it?"
Emer tugged at the thin material in a vain attempt to get it to fit more comfortably. It might have looked quite pretty on someone else, but on her it looked like a rumpled sack. "Can't I wear a uniform instead? Deirdre gets to. She says a soldier has always got to look the part."
Ciara brushed some invisible lint from Emer's shoulder and sat back to look at her. "Your grandmother says a lot of things, pup. You're not a soldier, not yet anyway. You're a princess of Cearnach, and my beautiful daughter, and that's what I want everyone to see at the gala tonight. Now, try to smile, at least a little? Please?"
Emer forced a smile long enough to get Ciara to finally leave. When she had first heard of the big gathering that night, she'd been quite excited. Ciara and Deirdre together conspired to keep her at home most of the time, so she only rarely got to meet anyone from outside Cearnach itself. Tonight, dignitaries from all of the Three Kingdoms would be gathered together and it promised to be quite the spectacle.
She tugged at the hated dress again and grumbled under her breath. She could hear everyone laughing at her already. Glancing toward her bedroom door, she cocked one ear, listening for any hint that her mother might be coming back. Slowly, hardly daring to breathe, she knelt down and felt under her bed for the dagger that grandmother Deirdre had given her for her eleventh birthday. Ciara might be able to make her wear a dress, but she would show the whole world she wasn't that kind of princess.
Not hardly! After all, when your grandmother is a famous general and your mother is known for her prowess with a sword, it's hard for a young lady not to want to follow in their footsteps. It's hard to be a lady of action in a dress.
I agree that she looks really cute like this, though, and who knows? Maybe when she's a little older, she won't mind the girly look so much. Once in a while.

Why thank you. She gets most of her coloring from her mother, and the rest from her sire, and I've always really liked how her overall look blends her vulpine and lapine features together. Saucy did a particularly good job of capturing that, too. I'm definitely planning on doing more with her in the near future.

I think Ravi and Lumi would look great in Saucy's style, and Saucy is really a joy to commission, too. I highly recommend them!
Emer is a strictly G-rated character, but she's certainly open to art with others within those parameters, and maybe we could talk about something sometime, for sure.
