Superheroines! Part Three: Aqua

Name: Aqua

Place of Origin: The darkest, deepest point of the Mariana Trench.

Superpowers: Can control the element of water, thus has the power to command oceans and rivers. Can create the most calm lakes and the most violent tsunamis, whirlpools and rainstorms. May be responsible for the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle.

Other specialties: Can navigate underwater using echolation, which is also used to communicate with other underwater creatures. Can swim at very high speeds.

Physical attributes: Amphibious. Possession of both lungs and gills (the latter of which are situated on both sides of her face) allow Aqua to breathe underwater and in air. Webbed hands and feet aid Aqua in swimming. Aerodynamic internal and external organs help her swim at high speed. Her most noticeable physical features are her scales that cover 80% of her body, capable of producing layers of mucous to help her swim fast.

Known for: Her sensitivity. Aqua is the most sensitive and the most empathetic of the Elements, and is more inclined to use her diplomatic skills rather than physical strength to solve problems. Is most likely to form deep emotional ties with all creatures that surround her.

I showed the drawing to my siblings and some of the comments that came up were, 'wow, thunder thighs!', 'weird hair!', and, 'she looks like someone...'


Well, dear siblings, the thunder thighs are made out of big, strong muscles (all the better to swim with!); I purposely made the hair look a bit like a cross between the umbrella section of squids and the tentacles of octopuses to make her look more marine-like. Plus, her hair's capable of jet propulsion!; and if she looks a bit familiar to some of you, I'll tell you who I based her look on.

Hello, handsome.
Shut up, he does NOT look like an insect!

Thane Krios, my handsome broody sensitive boyfr... I mean, the Drell assassin from Mass Effect 2. Which is the most perfect game ever, might I add.

If he reminds you of something else, it's probably because you're thinking of this:

Muse's The Resistance album cover:
totally looks like Thane Krios.

And if you're asking where else you've heard me mention the name Thane before, it's because I named this:

Thane Jericho Ollie.
Yeah I totally ambik kesempatan to introduce you to this sexy thing. :P

Back on topic:

If you're more into manga-style art, take a look at Nani Othman's pretty interpretation of Aqua! Check it here. Awesome sauce*! Seriously. I am honoured to have you draw Aqua, Nani. Thank you. :D

So that leaves only one more Element left to introduce to you. Stay tuned for Ignis!

But seriously, I really have to get back to working on my dissertation. See you soon!

Lots of love,

from Me.



*Awesome sauce n. The pure refined essence of awesome.
