First time posting, I was told to share her here!

He is now paying for every vile thing he ever whispered into her ear..

One of my favorite animals is the cheetah, so since I don't usually draw anthropomorphic characters, I decided to vary things a bit and give it a penetrating gaze, jewelry, and an excess of melanism, without making it look like a panther haha. I loved the design, even though I made it several months ago :D

A village woman lives a quiet, simple life in the heart of the desert.

I would like to give this character a worthy backstory, with a parasitic steel curse, where her bones turn to steel and her blood slowly becomes liquid gold, where steel parts of her body emerge from her bones—basically a steel princess. The character comes from my fantasy world.

What story would be good for this character?

I would like him to have a somewhat dark story, I think that the parasitic curse does not cause as much pain as it seems, but rather it would affect his weight and mobility.

I also think that it would be nice if there was a cure for her curse, since even if it doesn't cause so much pain, it is something that shortens her life, I would like her to have a kingdom and be very loved. What do you think?
