Those who wait
This is Aede-chan from "DanMachi," drawing based on that one scene in the anime.
While having such a large baggage on her back, and having gone through a unfortunate life, the way she desperately attempts to defy all of this is so glamorous; she leaves a deep impression on me.
It seems that I am captivated by such girls with this kind of background. A much better expression like a smile really suites these kinds of characters!!
What?? You ask "Can you draw this girl before Hestia-chan!?"?? Ahaha
