An artist I follow on instagram did a series of drawings of Star Wars characters paired with flowers which the artist felt represented the characters. I was inspired to do a similar series with some of my own characters.

This is Ada Morgan from my current work in progress, a historical fiction novel. (I've drawn her once before so you may sort of recognize her. :/)

For Ada, I chose the Anemone flower. On one hand, it can indicate a darker meaning of fading hope, or a feeling of being forsaken. Both of these feelings are part of Ada, although she may not voice them outright, choosing instead to keep them close and hidden. The lighter meaning of the Anemone flower is anticipation, which is something that Ada also feels very much. An element of the story is that Ada must come to recognize and accept the way she feels about her parents' death (circumstances of which make her feel forsaken and partly hopeless deep down) in order to be able to fully anticipate her future.

Idk. Also the flowers don't look like the real Anemone flower, really, because I can't draw flowers for the life of me, apparently. Overall I wanted the drawing to appear relatively simple, in coloring, in detail, etc. I'm still trying to find my style. It seems to be running away from me, intent on getting away. *sigh*

art (C) micahtheintrepid, M-ariazell, micahdoesart or whatever else I go by on the interwebs lol.
