Grown-Up Len

Remember this chick?! Well she's back!   And with a semi-permanent name -- Len!

This is a headshot of her as an adult. Little changes here: bigger, stronger, faster, wiser, and a hell-of-a-lot more dangerous. She's wearing jewelry now -- earrings and the traditional guardian lion collar. She's also got cuffs on her paws and forearms, but I'll show those in a full-body picture. 

Len has grown well into her deity powers and is a force to be reckoned with. Her father is more than proud of how quickly she is rising to her role as leader of their race and head guardian of their revered temple in which they protect. In fact, Len is rather impatient to grow into her responsibilities. She wants to prove herself and her abilities.

While she can be as fierce and prideful as the next lion guardian -- what with those massive teeth (which she can enlarge at will), forked tongue, and ability to ignite blue fames from anywhere on her body -- Len is actually as gentle and kind as a kitten around humans. She values all life and considers that just as worthy of her protection when she can give it. She has a motherly, nurturing side to her that her male-dominant race doesn't possess otherwise, and is more often than not the cause of her clan members questioning her leadership skills, which frustrates her to no end...
This story is growing and therefore there is more art planned for this original work of mine! Hope you enjoy!
