'Diana' as Merida Waleczna

It's 'Diana' from Daria as Merida Waleczna from the Disney/Pixar film Brave!
This image is done in the spirit of the Daria end credit sequence.

'Diana' is a character on "Daria" who only appeared in the season one episode "This Year's Model," but she had a noticeable role. She was never given an actual name on the series, and is referred to as 'Diana" by fans because of her appearance in a fan fiction where she was given that name. I couldn't find much info about her other than on the old Backgrounders site: web.archive.org/web/2011071806…

Well, even if you haven't seen the movie "Brave," I'm sure you are familiar with the look of its main heroine, Merida. A teenager with not exactly a 10 body type with bushy red hair made Merida the perfect pairing for 'Diana.'

It should be known that I know absolutely nothing about archery, and that I hope what I have drawn here doesn't drive people mad with its inaccuracies. I copied the pose from stock and the bow from "Brave" promo art. I have NO IDEA why she has a little bundle of rocks on one end of the bow and a round finial thing on the other.
