Crow Omens
This is an original character of mine that is blessed/cursed with the ability to hear the death omens that crows and ravens call out. She sees visions of people at their very last moments of life from the calls of the birds. This gift causes her emotional trauma at an early age and she tries to repress the visions by staying locked up in her house in the basement growing up. She becomes an artist and develops her portrait skills by painting the faces of the dead that haunt her mind. It becomes her way of dealing with the omens of the crows and later becomes a tool to help catch a mass murderer. This portrait captures her development as an artist in her teen years while she hides from the outside world.
