#she grew up in the position of being a hormonally intersex kid of a species where super high sexualization is culturally prized

I’ve been drawing my Star Wars OC a fair amount lately, and her design’s changed a lot but uhhhh here’s Ilvashta! She’s an unusually huge and horribly strong Twi’lek with a lot of issues and a weird history.

Her mother was the favored consort of an Imperial Officer, and when he married her, he also adopted Ilvashta and used his status to get her imperial schooling and a military career that was largely just being shuffled to run a low-risk prison despite her having excellent marks otherwise. After a few years of maddeningly boring fascist work, the Empire fell, she surrendered herself to Rebel/New Republic forces who arrived, and due to having been not really doing anything spent a few years in prison before being released and immediately starting an illustrious career of drinking herself blind and doing low-level enforcer and bounty hunter gigs. She’s kind of a career dirtbag, but an honest one.

At least, until she met @knighttimeart ‘s Sentius, and then got to start an actually worthwhile career as a Lieutenant in his little Not A Criminal Organization, putting her skills and strength to good use for villainy and greed the galaxy over.

She tries very hard to not show emotions and then goes off like a time bomb when she’s pushed to her limits, which is..unfortunately not that hard to do. But it kinda works in her favor. Ilvashta also has a lot of hangups about having frequently been one of the only non-humans in her schooling/training so that hasn’t been great. She’s also a little bit force-sensitive, but more about that in the next post...

Ilvashta also has a lot of Gender Feels, and a complicated relationship with her body. Strength training is one of the few things she really likes about herself and sometimes she does absolutely buckwild shit like lift up landspeeders or tear open steel doors with her hands. I’m sure that’s fine! That’s absolutely fine.

I only figured out how I wanted to draw her stripes like a week ago
