For those who have wondered on what took so long in answering the reasoning for positing that old artwork picture of Gloria in February, here it is. An updated reference picture of my character, Gloria.

Name: Gloria
Gender: Female
Species: Winged Draconian (Prefers being called Dragoness)
Height: 6’10” (Cute Mode) 7’10” (Fury Mode)
Weight: (Never ask a lady her weight)
Details: She is a big, strong, and very lovely dragoness, with some good muscles and slightly chubby gut. She has a six feet long tail, and twelve-feet long wing-span (tip-to-tip). She has dark pink main body scales and pink underbelly scales and membranes on her wings. She has in a way, a small crown of horns on her head, three on either-side of her head and one in the center. She has white claw and toe-nails, and her eyes are blue. She wears no armor nor clothes.
Abilities: Hand-to-Hand, Sword Combat, High-Eating Compacity
Information: Gloria may look sweet, strong, beautiful and huggable, but in reality; she has a bad-temper, is a warrior who knows how to battle and take down larger foes. She trains and exercise to make herself stronger and prepare for any future challenges. She also hates being called cute, anyone who calls her cute, well, be prepared to get a one-way trip down to her stomach or beat-down.
Now, for a small bit of her history, Gloria is from a Draconian City known as Dracanic, which was a city built inside a volcano. Now, there are two types of draconians, Noble Draconians and Common Draconians. Noble Draconians are the ones that to wear clothes, fancy-like or highly fashion type, and even wear armor that looks either fashionable or built to last. Common Draconians don’t wear clothes, some do but they’re not as fancy or noble-like, but generally, the city itself is like a ring city within the vast volcano, with the outer areas where the homes of common draconians, while the noble draconians live in the center, close to the castle where the rulers of the kingdom reside. And, Gloria is born in a noble family, and she heavily dislikes the lifestyle of a noble, especially does not like wearing clothes as her scales is her perfect armor. Her parents had tried to raise her to be a proper lady, but Gloria prefers to be a warrior, to combat strong foes and one day join the knights of her kingdoms. Now, she could become a Knight, or a Soldier, as both males, females, and herms can get into the ranks, as the role of knights have to be earned. Gloria prefers to be a proud, strong, glorious knight, not a cute lady like her parents wanted her to be. She doesn’t want to work in the kitchens so to please a male, she doesn’t want to pretty up and dance in a dress, the only dance she wants to experience is the dance of combat. She’s a natural born warrior.
Now, in her family, she has a brother and a sister. And her brother knows her well enough that he helped her achieve her dream. For once a year, a coliseum tournament is held for draconians to enter, sometimes soldiers enter and so do knights of Dracanic. They do so to honor the royal family a good show, as well as visiting royalty of other kingdoms that attend and bring their knights and soldiers to take part of it as well. And whoever wins the tournament could get a great reward from the King, any kind of reward that is in the King’s power to grant to the victor. But also, in the coliseum tournament, it also invites the risk in loss, for the victor of a match can be merciful and take their weapons or armor as a reward or end their life.
It’s a very risky tournament, but Gloria viewed it as an opportunity and trained hard for it. And she trained hard, either in her secret area in her family’s home backyard. But also, to not only to strengthen herself, but also to build up her eating capacity, and would stuff her gut with so much food and train it off in intense exercise and flight, flattening her gut back down while building her body muscles.
But also, her brother knows that she has a special ability. The ability to go into a mode that is called ‘Fury Mode’, in which her muscles would tense up, she would grow about a foot in height, her claw-nails would grow long and sharper and could cut steal armor and scales, and she could lift weight and fly faster, about 5x faster than her original sate. And be able to digest steel. But how does her form unlock; through anger, thus dubbed ‘Fury Mode’.
She trained long and hard, and when the time come, against her parent’s wishes, she entered that tournament, and fought in the coliseum, her parents were shocked of seeing her entering it. Of course, this coliseum tournament didn’t just have Dracanic people, soldiers and few knights in it, but a royal family and knights from another draconian kingdom, and this visiting king’s son, a snobbish prince of a guy, had taken part in the tournament.
And throughout this tournament, that snobbish prince saw Gloria and saw her as a beauty of a prize, and besides being sexist and treating her like a lady instead of a warrior he would fight later, he wasn’t giving her any honor, just in a way, looking down upon her, treating her like a lady to be won, and telling her to go sit in the audience to cheer for him, or just lose to him so he can win her and have her whole being as his prize, to be his maid. Basically, the snobbish prince was flicking all of Gloria’s switches, all of which for her fury.
But in the end, the snobbish prince was shocked that when he reached the finals, so did Gloria, and when they fought, he still disrespect her and treated her like a delicate lady, but he still pummel her. Unlike Gloria, he wore armor and carried a sword, but he had it sheathed. Despite how much he tries to tell her to give up, she refuses, he pummels her. But eventually, when he thought he was winning, he said the words ‘cute doll’, but it was just word ‘cute’ that echoed throughout her mind.
It broke the mental barrier within her mind and unlocked her fury, she roared out while growing a foot in height, her muscles bulked and dense up, and spikes protruded out of parts of her body, her abs showed, and her claws grew long and sharper. Blinded with rage, with fury, he wanted him to shut up, and with her strength, speed, endurance, and flight boosted, she shredded his armor while pummelling to an inch of his life, and when he drew out his sword, she snapped it like a twig. In the end, she won the match, and had calmed down.
But she had to make a decision, to either spare him and take his destroyed armor and weaponry or end him. Which considering he was a prince of a neighboring kingdom, she was going to spare him until he said, “Heh, I’ll still tell my dad to convince your king to make you my maid, cutie.” And with that, Gloria’s switch of mercy was thrown out the window. She has no desire of being with him, she desired to be a knight, and considering the rules of the match, it was in regulations that the victor can decide whatever they want to do towards the loser.
And what she did was she ate him, she gobbled him down her throat and down int her stomach. Sure, he struggled, but her teeth were just as sharp as her claws and she pierced through his shredded armor and scales and gobbling him down till he was trapped inside her bulging gut. Sure, the knights went to stop her, but by then it was too late, she crushed the snobbish prince in her gut with a good flex and was digesting him by the time she was piled upon by the knights and restrained, and the visiting king was demanding for her head.
But considering the rules, the regulations in the tournament. Gloria had every right to do whatever she wanted with the prince. But the visiting king threaten to go to war with Dracanic. So, instead of giving in the demanded, the Dracanic King chose the one thing that visiting king would be alright with.
Gloria was banished, exiled from Dracanic Kingdom, to never return to her home, and if she dares come back, she will be executed. And she was told to leave the kingdom immediately, and if she is founded in the kingdom by sunset, she will be executed. So, with the weight of her meal digesting in her gut and her fury lesson to her original state, she struggled in carrying the weight when she flew, leaving the kingdom.
And with her exile, there was no war between the two kingdoms, but the visiting King will no doubt place a bounty upon Gloria and send his knights capture her, dead or alive.
Now then, this was her past, and she appeared in this story: https://aryion.com/g4/view/179725
And if some of my past watchers remember of her, this was her old picture: https://aryion.com/g4/view/443736
Reason why it took so long to bring this whole reference information out was because of things in IRL. So, it took time, I had this sketch ready and waiting, ever since I loaded up the old picture months ago, so sorry to have kept you all waiting.
