A two-fer this time, featuring Sheila and Nick. They’re Caren and Alec’s team two on the ARU. Admittedly rough (eyes and eye symmetry seem to be the hardest for me), but I like how they came out. These two are my favorite secondary characters in the Bridgetown trilogy, as they seem to have that “we’re from a different book but somehow we got dropped here” aura about them. They do have very important roles, however.
Sheila Kennedy is Caren’s former ARU partner; they split up while Caren was on LOA due to her parents’ deaths. They have an extremely close friendship that transcends some boundaries — they were lovers for a very brief time as well — and though they are on separate teams now, they remain very close friends. She’s that girl you knew in college who was loud and silly and friends with everyone, and you’d better be far away if you piss her off. Her extrasensory abilities aren’t as strong as, say, Caren’s or Alec’s, but she has a knack for using them in unconventional ways to get the job done when need be.
Nick Slater on the other hand comes from the darker edge of Bridgetown; he was both part of the B-town Metro Police and a bodyguard for various government visitors. He left the BMPD because he felt he could do more working for the Alien Relations Unit. This is an interesting decision, considering unlike most of ARU agents, he shows no outward signs of having any extrasensory abilities. He is, however, extremely observant and stronger than he looks.
Edit: I’ve gone back and done a bit of similar description for the Caren and Denni drawings, if you’re so interested. It’s two entries below!
