THE DIVINER

Tall and sad and horrible. Smells like wet dog and cigarettes.

One of several incarnations of the thaumaturgical entity known as the Diviner; the way magic is conceived of in her setting's dominant culture means that several people can be considered Different Individuals but still The Same Wizard, Metaphysically
Channels her divinatory powers primarily through sensory deprivation-induced hallucinations (though pressure phosphenes also work in a pinch).

Strained relationship with her other incarnations. Very lonely.

Belongs to the same setting as the Diviner (short one). (They used to be the same character (sort of) until I mitosis'd her to allow me to fully explore two different directions her character concept could take)
Sees her other incarnation as succeeding in every way she herself has failed as a thaumaturge. Fears thon will be chewed up and spit out by a world that profoundly exploits and mistreats magic users. Interprets these feelings as thons very existence Pissing Her Off for no good reason.

Design notes:

• The first ref is the most recent and accurate one! The design on her cape isn't finalized yet, though
• The denizens of this setting are some kind of not-human but human-shaped-enough blob people, idk I'm not looking to do spec evo for this project. She's unusually tall and lanky compared to most.
• Often cast in inexplicable shadow.
• Her hair runs purely on Rule of Cool and can behave more like a veil or like actual hair depending on what works best for your concept! (But I do ask that you respect her receded hairline swag)
• Older drawings of her may depict her doing haruspicy, but since then I've transferred those motifs to her other incarnation and made her squeamish. You can very much still draw her covered in gore if that's what calls to you! but she would not be having a good time with it
• The planet their story is set on orbits a binary star (One approximately sun-sized, one smaller) and possesses a single moon (about the size of Earth's) if you want to get specific w/ the astronomical motifs
