A gritty, stylized illustration of a mature Southeast Asian woman in formal attire, with 'DJERA MAHA THE HIVE' text.

A digital illustration in the style of the "Blades in the Dark" NPC portraits. Strong inky linework, gritty textures, muted colors, and a distressed vignette background. The portrait should be waist-up, framed like a character card, with the character’s name and faction displayed at the bottom in bold serif text. Character: Djera Maha Faction: The Hive Heritage: Dagger Isles Role: leader, bold, strategic, confident Appearance: mature, southeast asian features, dark hair with streaks of gray, alert eyes, grew up as a street urchin but worked her way up over decades Clothing: Elegant, highly fashionable attire, kebaya. No sash. Accessories: A medallion or brooch featuring a small, simplified bee crest — subtle and emblematic of the Hive, less detailed than before. Expression: Sly, slightly smiling, in control Atmosphere: Shadowy tones, faint mercantile motifs in the background, muted gray-orange palette See more
