The White Witch of Shanghara

This, here, is my concept design for an OC (or original character) for my as of yet untitled twelve-part, thirty-six-hour epic coming-of-age hero’s journey saga: The White Witch of Shanghara, aka Shiromajo. 

She’s the mentor of my main character, as well as the spiritual center of the world of my epic coming of age hero’s journey saga; the one who is aware.

And with her very great wisdom and power, not only can The White Witch of Shanghara, or Shiromajo, as she is known in the land of Shanghara, exhort and aid the enemies of the Great Dark Enemy of the World, but also, like an Asian mix of an angel, a white witch, a shaman-woman, and the wise man (or wise woman) of the classic hero’s journey archetype, she can give the hero the gift of whatever key it is that helps the hero.

In other words, The White Witch of Shanghara may be comparable not only to Glinda, The Good Witch of the North in The Wizard of Oz, and not only to a shaman-woman, but also to an angel, and indeed in her role in the great war between the forces of good and evil, The White Witch of Shanghara may also be like an Asian female version of the avenging angels of medieval European iconography:

Shining like the sun, swift in coming, brandishing a mighty sword, slaying demons and terrible beasts.

Anyway, here is the White Witch of Shanghara herself near her hut at the summit of Mount Zeus, the highest point in the Prometheus Mountain Range in the land of Reptaria in my as of yet untitled epic coming of age hero’s journey in twelve parts.
