Kharis

Description

((Definition of Kharis shamelessly stolen off my Classics prof's website. The answer to everything in that class is kharis. Everything.

Kharis/Charis: beauty; joy, delight; kindness, good will; grace, favour; benefit, boon; charm, attraction, appeal; elegance, gracefulness; pleasure, cheerfulness, wit; gratitude, thankfulness; gratification

It's a ridiculously multi-purposed word. We get a lot of words in English from kharis: charisma, charity, etc.

When you greet someone in ancient Greek, you say "Khaire!" or "Khairete!" depending on the number of people, which means rejoice.

This is just a little doodle while I'm working through the massive amount of school work I've accumulated. @_@ I'm sorry about that, I'll get back to all your questions as soon as I can! Thanks for bearing with me! >w<

My tumblr is AllBeenDoneBefore where I post stupid doodles about my ancient OCs and really stupid comics about mythology. Follow me if you like, I guess. XD;

I decided to experiment and not sketch before I coloured, I just started with a yellow blob and it turned into her face. XD ))
