OK SO. I might have gone a little bit insane over this.

First of all, this is her from the Silksong era, so I imagine she's a little more scrappy and not quite as put together as she is in Hollow Knight. She was brought here against her will; all she has is her sword and her cloak, but she's clever and resourceful above all else.

All the accessories I gave her are from my personal loadout on Crest of the Wanderer: Threefold Pin, Warding Bell, Multibinder, Spool Extender, Weighted Belt, Magnetite Dice, Ascendent's Grip.

(I have a mod that makes Magnetite Brooch and the Compass always equipped, so I just included those)

Shoutout to the Hallowspeak.com creators for the buglang! I didn't really follow the rules of grammar at all, I just wrote out the letters and then vaguely formed them into words.

According to their item descriptions, both the bell and the brooch and inscribed. Here's what they say in my drawing:

BROOCH: "Mother, grant me blessings."

BELL: "Mother, grant me protection against mine enemies."

All in all, I am pretty happy with this drawing! I may redraw parts of it later - I feel like the amount of accessories ended up being kind of busy, and I didn't get to add rosary strings or a pouch for map supplies, both of which I initially wanted to include. I feel like I could've made her whole look a lot more cohesive in general. Maybe I'll redraw it some other time, once I've gotten better at character design!
