DnD - Vespidoli, Thorn Biter

*I did draw the line art, and colour this, however, I copied the pose and character from a kingdom death miniature! You may see it here - shop.kingdomdeath.com/collecti…

**this is a miniature colour/design study, however, I will create a nice original drawing to this one day in the future when I have more time on my hands.

So I love playing D&D, and am about to start a new campaign with some friends, where we can basically do whatever we want(which is always super fun) So I've checked out the homebrew races and decided to make a socially awkward fairy.
The subrace I chose is the "dragonfly", but I decided to make her aesthetically a baldfaced Hornet instead. When I was younger I had quite the encounter with them, and i love the black white patern(luckily, I survived the encounter unscathed). Her Class is a Fighter. It works out well, so she can use her sword to "sting" her opponents over and over again with all those extra attacks. At level 1, I have a 19 strength, so she's going to sting really hard.
I have already purchased the KD miniature of the dark elf, and I will be modding it to resemble this Fairy. The wing designs are similar to the ones I created for a faerie MTG card I had made, and I really loved the aggressive creepiness to them, which you may see here - fav.me/dacxqi1
The name Vespidoli is a re-arrangement to the latin name of the bald face hornet, and "thorn biter" is because she likes to eat thorns like licorice. Her friends call her "Doli", but she doesn't have many friends.

I don't know if people care about her backstory, or traits, but I'll post them all below for fun if anyone shows any interest, lemme know They are written in First person, and I added a few Magic the Gathering references in there for fun.

Character Backstory
Blessed by my mother... Titania was beautiful... the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. The first thing I had seen when I first bloomed into this world. Then she dropped me and I fell. All the others seemed to fly with ease, but I hit the ground hard. It hurt so much... Since that day most things seem ugly to me, with exception to the perfection that is Titania... She scooped me up and whispered me a kiss. My bones healed and strength surged through my body. It wasn't until years later that I actually realized how much strength.

Growing up within the Vendilion clique, my peers would tease me and pull pranks on me. I didn't understand how I was different... Magic came so easily to them and was such a chore for me. But when it came to moving boulders, pushing down dead trees or fending off wild beasts, they would cheer me on. Eventually Titania's elite Knacksaw clique sent for me to join them in their ranks. Protecting the one closest to me.. to us all... truly it was the greatest day of my life. I thought the bullying would end, but it only seemed to get worse. Until I had enough... A joke gone so horribly wrong... I was so tired of their mockery. How could they? all so ugly. All fairies pick on one another. It is in our nature... their nature... I can't see the fun in taunting others. Titania's kiss had not just made me physically strong, but had altered the way I perceive things.
On what seemed like a lovely day, we where eating our lunches. The next thing I knew, food was on my face and all over my clothing. Thinking back on it now, they all had food in their faces as they threw their meals about, laughing and insulting one another. Why would they do such a thing? I brutally injured more then I can count. And all their magic did nothing to stop me as I beat them all down senselessly. I do not understand... Food is to be eaten. My uniform had been ruined. It was not funny.

Titania stopped my onslaught, healed all that I had injured and requested to speak with me privately. I was so excited! A moment to bask in the glory of my mother, my friend... our God. When I arrived to see her, my equipment, along with a backpack where placed neatly by her side as she looked down upon me, her face looking hurt? or sad? but still ever so perfect. She explained that I had to find my way outside of her court, leave the nest, and journey out into the world other Fairies feared so much. She smiled and I felt her warmth wash over me. Titania had given me, ME! A roll in this world no other fairy has ever had! I have the opportunity to go out and make my mark! No more pranks, no more trickery, I would not allow anyone to do such hurtful things to me again. I will find a new clique, and together we shall help make everything that is in this ugly world a bit more beautiful... a bit more like Titania.
