It is actually considerably easier to work with a very limited palette than try and juggle around with a character who has a lot of colours in reference alone! There were some colours I technically could have combined, but I ended up making the delibarate decision to allow myself to bloat up the colour count just a little to preserve the original design's colour choices. 

Anyhow, Kaira is a sorcerer who failed to ascend into true dragonhood, but nonetheless came out of the ritual as an extremely powerful monster. It's considered "lucid" insofar as that it can remember its human past and can understand and even reason with humans, but it holds little interest in anything that has to do with humans and humanity. It seems perfectly content with its new kind of existence.
