character reflection essay

In the game World of Warcraft, I play a human warlock. I chose a female because I am female. The name I gave her is Shastafyre. The choice of hair color, style and various other features is selected at the creation of a character. Because I like red hair that is long, I chose to give her red hair that is fastened in a clip at her neck. I also chose the face based on features that I like and that I think reflect who I am.

During the past few years as I have played Shastafyre I have made minor changes in the way she looks. These changes have been hair color and style, though the hair style is always long. Color choices are generally reds and golds, though once I chose silver.

Being female has a great deal to do with my choice of female characters when playing any game. Often I will choose hunters because they always get a pet to help them. This makes my choosing to create a warlock, a magic wielder, unusual. One reason I did so, is because warlocks in WOW (World of Warcraft) get minions (pets).

I am grateful to the concept artists and others who are involved in creating the graphics for my favorite game. This class is helping me to solidify what I want to do with my art.

I have included many pictures of Shastafyre as she is now and some of the choices for hair that I have made.
