Code Geass went and said “most of these character hail from Future Sort-of-Britain, including our main character, who will be named Lelouch just like every single British person isn’t.” Then they decided to distract you from this by naming his love interest Shirley, cornering the market of 80+ year old grandmothers clutching their 3 bowls of strawberry sucker candy in delight. Code Geass didn’t even call it a day here they had one more trick up their sleeve and it was to name the third character in the group Rivalz, a name and a character which appeal to exactly no one.

Tiger and Bunny said “What should our western young-20′s heartthrob successful pretty-boy deuteragonist be named? What screams ‘young’ and ‘trendy’ and ‘brilliant’ and ‘sexy’? Barnaby. Barnaby Brooks. This is our Sex Symbol Barnaby.” I bet a bunch of ghosts from the 17th century were stoked about that one. I bet Barnaby walks into gift shops asking if they have any of the travel keychains in his name and he gets laughed out of the store. I bet Barnaby’s parents didn’t die, they just faked their deaths to get away from him seeing as they hated him enough to name him Barnaby.

BACCANO HAS A CHARACTER NAMED JACUZZI SPLOT

Code Geass fans saying “that’s fair”

HxH/Death Note/Fate/JoJo fans informing me of terrible horrible names that perfectly prove my point and also deal psychic damage with every new addition

WH–

As a noble lady and charismatic Queens watchdog I wanted her face to look youthful but still have some sharpness, thus the full lips and soft eyes contrasted by defined cheekbones and strong eyebrows .

Moreover @royalshinigami mentioned that her zodiac sign was aries and apparently «  An Aries zodiac sign looks may include:

heart-shaped face … » thus the more angular hairline . I also assume she rocked that dangling fringe hairstyle and passed it down to Frances + we’ve seen her hair in Undertakers mourning Lockets , so Claudia’s definitely a bluette !

While drawing her with various expressions/situations I wanted to put a bit of Vincent , Frances , Ciel and Lizzy in her , from the smug looks to the more innocent laugh; so hopefully I managed to capture that .

Last but not least like a lot of people I loved the idea of her having Vicent’s mole so I could not leave that out !

I am aware that the dresses and accessories might not be perfectly historically accurate , I wanted to simplify/modernize the design a bit so it can be easier to digest .
