a pose of zero wrapped in the coils of a winged white snake, its head bent in an arch to reach open maw for her. zero reaches up towards it, cradling it even as its jaws threaten to envelope her head, expression a strange mix of calm and intense attention, welcoming the teeth scraping through her hair and against her cheek and throat. the lighting is dark, half zero's teal and half a vivid red, stark against the twined figures captured in a moment of surrender

Jewelry of the Steppe; a collection of Xaela hcs (free to use)

an image of some sketched scaled hands and jewelry, some silver some bronze, with text saying "Jewelry of the Steppe. Au ra of the Steppe receive two sets of jewelry from their tribe. One craftedd of bronze during childhood, to form habit and familiarity. The second in silver, gifted upon reaching adulthood and taking their place in the tribe. From there, the set expands over a lifetime, for achievement, growth and style."

second slide, this one with various sketched heads, focus on their horns and the embelishments in and on them. "Horn piercings. Horn adornment is especially favored for its innumerable unique fashions. These piercings serve as much therapeutic (with an asterisk) and spiritual significance as they might aesthetic. (asterisk addition: a stud in the right place can relieve pressures and tensions in the head). How one is pierced can effect horn growth, shape and hearing quality, so is best ddone by a trained artist, accounting for each individuals' needs and horn type."

third slide, with outlines and impressions of various stones and raw metals. "Crafting Materials. The silver represents the light of Nhaama's realm, of moon and star, highlighted against richly dark Xaela scales like Her dusk skies. The first set of adult jewelry is inlaid with a material chosen by an elder, master or caregiver to represent and aid the receiver. Examples: amber to wish for preservation and longevity, agate for protection and healing, bone for resilience, ect."

forth slide, with sketches of scaled faces carrying studs and rings. "Additional. Most, if not all of these adornments hold cultural meaning, such as the facial piercing of the Qestir. Beneath their masks the Qestir practice a variety of face, neck and tongue piercings. In purifying metals and protective stones, these inlays defend tongues and throats from the lies the Qestir denounce, lending a weight and chill reminder of their convictions. Chances are-if you see silver on a Xaela of the Steppe-ther is history in even the smallest ring."
