So I've made some fan art...Sort of, in a sense. I can't draw for my life, but if a picture is worth a thousand words, than a thousand words is worth a picture...
Very well done, but for one small detail: If the current date is in 357, and Misty was born in 339... She's be older than 12. (She'd be 18.)
Oops, I forgot to change that, originally I was going to have the year be 351, with Misty being a second year spring migrant for a player fort in a default history-length world, but then I realized that A. Second year migrants are scripted, and B. Shielddawn is apparently a mature fortress, and thus at least a few years old, so I pushed it up to 357, but forgot to update Misty's age. AFAIK, EvictedSaint has yet to post any dates or names of civilizations/groups, so any of that stuff here is just guesswork. Initially I was going to say that Misty was the "daughter of Unknown Historical Figure and Unknown Historical Figure", but apparently the game just removes that part in fortress mode descriptions if there's no historical figures listed as their (biological) parents.
Uh huh. I get the feeling that Misty won't be a cheesemaker anytime soon. Recruit or sweatshop worker are more likely career options at the moment.
I'm not especially selective with recruiting soldiers (I only really get turned off by physical attributes well below average), so out of curiosity, how would the attributes I gave her in my mock in-game description look for an unskilled migrant? It occurs to me that since I described her as "tall" (she's the same height as the adult dwarves IIRC while only being twelve), she might be able to wield a two-handed sword, pike, or halberd, and if the fortress happens to have any artifacts of those classes, she'd be a prime militia candidate.
