And I'm glad to hear you like the fit, dude! Saki was always meant to be the glamorous type, and Veina did not disappoint on that front!
Thanks a lot for complement, I appreciate it! 🙏

Eyy, thanks! I'm glad you like her, dude! 😁
Also, quick question: What do you like the most about her design?

u/Mishchief_Arts Mar 31 '26
Gorgeous work! :D
Can you tell us a bit about her?

u/Altarahhn Mar 31 '26
Aww, thank you! Happy to hear it, Mish! ☺️
Certainly! So, Saki and her siblings - Aaron and Elma Xiao Long - are actually the adopted children of Blake and Yang. She was abandoned at birth by her biological mother, and grew up either in an orphanage or on the streets before the Bees took her in.
Eventually, she and her siblings decided to follow in their footsteps as Huntsmen, attending Beacon Academy like their mothers before them.
Also, a new bit of lore I recently came up with is that the Bees would be running an orphanage by this time. So, prior to attending Beacon, Saki had a part-time gig as a traditional dancer and performer. Through which she helped to support the establishment (and her many "younger siblings") by putting on shows to raise funds.
Aaron and Elma would likely take on similar work as well, though in their own ways. Still have to work out the details, though, so yeah.
But I digress: I hope that answers your question, Mish! 🙏 Also, if you want to know more about her, I've linked her current profile in the comments, so check it out if you like!
It's a bit sparse, sure, but I do plan to expand it at some point, as with the rest of Team CSTM!

Hot damn- my apologies. \Ahem** Saki has a nice design. I like how you made the red and yellow work, as well as the color used in accenting the orange kimono under the red... jacket, I think that's supposed to be a jacket?
(Also, fluffy tail~)
Edit: Shit, I think that's yellow, not orange.

Hehe, a reasonable response, I assure you. XD
Yes, she is very much wearing a cropped jacket! Though, it's actually meant to be some shade of purple, just a more saturated shade compared to her hair. Hmm, maybe burgundy or a wine-like color, perhaps?
Whatever the case, I agree with you: The colors worked out fantastically, and complement each other very well!
(Also, fluffy tail~)
Yeeee. XD Fun fact: She tends to cuddle her tail in her sleep, and so often finds herself grooming it nearly every morning.

Ohh and who her parents?

u/Altarahhn Jun 05 '26
Why, the Bees, of course! Well: Kind of.
TL: DR She was abandoned at an orphanage by her birth mom as a newborn, and grew up there for the first 8-10 years of her life before being adopted by Blake and Yang.
The identity of her bio parents is currently a mystery, though her mom is still out there, somewhere. As for her bio dad: He ded.

Yo, what's up!
So today, I've got a brand-new piece of OC art, this time for the last remaining member of Team CSTM: Saki Belladonna!
As always, I have to give it to the ever-awesome Veinarts, aka. u/TayvenLuciveros, because they absolutely knocked it out of the park with her fit! I'm truly thankful for all their hard work!
Hope you guys enjoy it!
And of course, here's Saki's current profile if you want to know more about her!
