You might be about to ask something along the lines of "Anglish-chan? Do you mean England-chan or something?"

No, she is in fact my attempt to design a personification of the Anglish neighbourship, a community of people who decided modern english sucks and blame the 1066 Norman Invasion. I will not be speaking Anglish in this description for the sake of understandability, but I recommend you check it out if you're a fan of language, history or friendly, open communities based thereof.









Her "Official" name, Saxen, is a portmanteau of Saxon, referring to the Anglo-Saxons, and the feminine -en suffix equivalent to Latin -trix.





I imagine as a character that despite her aggressive first impressions she's actually quite kind-hearted and just wants friends, because despite the community taking its identity from the aggressive Anglo-Saxons, they themselves are very open, friendly, and accepting...







The design philosophies are quite simple.

- The reason she is brunette and blue-eyed is because, to my quick research, they are the most common phenomes in modern England.

- Her colour scheme is based on the colours of the Anglish logo, an English Dragon fighting the traditionally French Lion, which itself is based on the colours of the English flag.

- The axe is a traditional Saxon battleaxe, though the spike carved into it is my own idea to make it more interesting to look at. Historically they preferred spears, but I thought axes that were also spears were cooler.



- The helmet she's stepping on is a traditional Norman helmet.

- The Cross necklace can theoretically be replaced with a mjolnir necklace, depending on artist's preference, but of course I'll be drawing her with a cross every time.





I'm planning to draw a reference sheet for her at some point if anyone wants to draw her, and while I would prefer credit if you use my design, you can edit it however you want to suit your needs.
