The Rose of Menzoberranzan (OC) (Patreon)

Little portrait of my Drow assassin, Rhiain. I created her to play on the Arelith server on Neverwinter Nights but didn't really get enough time to put into her. :(

Neutral evil. Was a trainee to become a priestess of Lolth, but her final test was to kill the male she'd been meeting with in secret that she'd fallen in love with. Lolth felt her devotion waver, and she was struck many times by her own venomous whip and left to die on the outskirts of Menzoberranzan. The god Vhaeraun took a liking to her and spared her life, and with that gift, she ran. She now masquerades as a Lolth worshiper in Drow society, committing assassinations and sowing discord in polite society. (as polite as Drow society gets...)

I've painted her a few times before long ago, she usually wears full assassin getup but I wanted to paint her in a bit more of a vulnerable look.

In my own Forgotten Realms canon, she is the half sister of my 'Tav', Iiyola. (pictured below) They had some good times when they were younger, but Iiyola's too much of a bleeding heart for that relationship to be functional.
