Description So, I've been exploring various relationships Boba has had in the past, and found myself in a Sintas/Boba mood lately. Can't help it, really - ever since that one-shot comic where the two of them face off, I've kind of liked the idea. And yes, Boba is almost a fandom whore for me - I like him in various 'ships, but I also like those ships staggered; after all, very few people meet up with the person they'll spend the rest of their life with right away, and Boba is emotionally damaged enough that he'd have a very hard time maintaining a relationship for any length of time.

Anyways, Ailyn is Boba's cannon daughter from his marriage with Sintas when he was 16. She and Sintas have awesome character potential that was, to me, wasted. Sintas was pretty much literally "Girl in the Freezer" for all of her non-comic apperances, and Ailyn was barely any better before she got offed. But then again, I hate most of the post-ROTJ EU anyways, so it could just be my personal bias at the terrible characterization that plagues that era.

Regardless, Ailyn's character was solely "Babe out for revenge", and they based her look off of some Eastern European model and made her whiter than an Arkanian. That bothered me, so I re-drew her as I imagine she'd look like. I tried to make her look more like kid/teen Boba, what with the softer features and pout - I figured it would bother her more if she closely resembled the father who abandoned her. Not sure if she's going to be WHITE, but she will be paler than her dad.

I liked that in her early career she was a Hunt Wrecker instead of a Bounty Hunter like her folks, so I gave her a more subtle wardrobe as opposed to armor. My take on her is that she stays as a sabotager of hunts instead of impersonating her father (seriously, how many times has the imposter-Boba thing been used? 10?), and tries to straighten her hair when she has the time to do it as sort of a rebellion against her genetics. I kept her busty as a bit of a tribute to her prior status as a generic femme-fatale.
