Before I'll write more about white haired girls I have to say one thing. I can't draw right now. And I don't know why. I'm trying, but I don't feel like drawing last days. And this feeling is different than regular artblock .__.
Anyway, I've tried to do Ellen/Bianca sketch it came out soooo horrible -.- It was inspired by William Adolphe Bouguereau painting At first I wanted to copy poses of both girls, but now i think that I'll erase Ellen's legs and make her different pose. And I need to fix both girl's faces. Remember, that's just basic sketch. On the sketch Bianca is 14 years old, and Ellen is 7. Bianca has one circle tattoo under her eye because she's candidate for priestess.

Okay. Back to more important things-> next part of Ellen and Bianca's story:
Ellen and Bianca were growing int the Sun Temple. They were living in a small room behind the kitchen. At first only Bianca lived in that room, because Priestesses were looking after baby Ellen, but when Ellen was big enough (3 years old), Bianca started to keep an eye on her. Ellen was a typical vivacious child. She was loud, scatty, always happy, she loved to make jokes, and every little room was full of her. Her laughter resounded throughout whole Temple. Bianca was very nice child too, but she was calm, and sometimes sad. Ellen didn't remember their parents, she was too small when they disappeared, but Bianca remembered. She missed her mother, her beautiful orange eyes, warm heart and beautiful smile, she missed her loving, strong father, she felt so safe always when he was around her. Even when little Bianca was smiling there was still small shade of sadness in her eyes. Both girls were helping in the kitchen, cleaning, when High Priestess needed something she was sending Bianca or Ellen for it shopping, delivering stuff etc. When Bianca turned 14 she started her education as candidate for priestess. Typical priestess education lasts for 2 years, so it isn't long. In the first year she got tattoed first dots of typical priestess tattoos. And that first dot is made with regular ink, nothing special. I don't want to write here about whole proccess of becoming full-time priestess but this post would be too long and nobody would read it D: So I'll make special post about this later. After first year of education Bianca got second dots tattooed, and again they're regular tattoos. when Bianca turned 16 years old, after long two long years she was ready to become a priestess. On that day Ellen was sitting in their room, and when Bianca came in she yelld:
- Happy Birthday sis! I got these flowers for you!
-Ellen, we need to talk. -she sat on the bed. - You know that I will become priestess tommorow?
-Of course sis! I'm so proud that my big sis is so important!- Ellen was jumping around room.
-Hey, hey sweetie, you'll become one too, you just need to grow up. But listen to me, for a second. Hey! stop jumping, when I'm talking to you. That's okay. Ell, you have to know one thing. You know where all priestesses live?
-Of course! In that extension of Temple. We can't go there. I wonder whyyyyyy...
-Ellen, I won't be able to live here with you after ceremony. I'll have to move, and live with all priesstesses.
-You'll leave me? - Ellen started to cry and rub her face with scrap of her dress.
-No sweetheart. We can see eachother for few minutes each day, and when you'll be big enough you will join me there. Hey, don't cry, come here.
Both girl were lying on the bed and hugging eachother, when Ellen fell asleep Bianca got up, packed herself and she left room. In special room in the temple there was big sculpted water basin made of rock with holy water inside. Bianca had to take off her clothes, and naked step into that water basin. All priestesses were standig around her and then process of tattooing third biggest dots began. It isn't made of regular ink but ink mixed with holy water. That's why tattooing it causes incredible pain. During making first dot (on cheek) Bianca was strong, she was only crying, during second, she started to scream, and other priestesses had to hold her, after that one she fainted, and she didn't remember making the ones on her hip and ankle. After this ritual she started to live among other priestesses. For long 3 weeks she was praying with them, reading holy books and helping in the garden, then she aske High Priestess
-Forgive me Mistress, could I see my little sister?
-My child. You're young priestess. You won't see her for a year, it's your first task.
-But I promised her...
-We can't break rules.
