RIP to Gregor Samsa but I’m Different

There was a big fancy building, maybe a live action theatre? Or a mansion. It was on the side of a mountain in a forest-y area, with sparse pine trees and some scrubby bushes and a lot of dead pine needles on the ground. There was a girl (maybe 12yrs or younger?) who was approaching with 3 vehicles with blacked out windows. She had her driver stop a little bit away from the house on the road. Apparently I was trespassing in a resort area and she had collected an army of children to come after me with. I peeked around the car and indeed there were at least 100 children standing maybe 30ft behind the car. She started to gloat, and I noticed she had candy inside her car, so I pointed and yelled to the children, who swarmed the car. Before they got there I reached in real quick to grab a cookie. The girl was very mad, but apparently I loved annoying her. She was supporting horrible nature destroying stuff so I felt justified.

While she and her bodyguard were being swarmed by sugar hungry children, I booked it down the road to a hiking trail that I could get down the mountain with and hide from the girl and her army of children once she managed to get them back under control. I ran down the trail for a bit, passing some campers off to the side who shouted after me to slow down, they were worried I’d trip and fall and die because of my speed down the mountain. I shouted back that if I did trip then it would only be a little death and that I’d be fine.

I left the trail after I was further down the trail and out of view of the campers and followed a little deer path to the side, so that the girl couldn’t follow me even if she decided to go down the hiking trail that she hated. Well, I was out of view of the trail and any potential children she could send after me.

As I was carefully doing switchbacks down the mountain in loose crumby dry dirt covered in pine needles, my feet often slipping and my controlled descent more like slowly sliding down the mountain, I came across a sword. It was in a sheath, and stuck down in the ground. I pulled it out and it was a thin curved sword. I pulled the sheath out and put it on my belt to take home. Just as I was about to continue down the mountain, I saw some more swords sticking out of the ground, a little further down and out of my path. I made my way over to them, slipping and sliding, to collect them as well. I talked to the swords, saying how horrible it was for them to be abandoned here. Apparently a couple of them were psychic or something because I could feel that they appreciated my yapping. I thought there were only two or three swords, but as I looked around I could see more and more.

I had just added another normal sized sword to my belt and was working on pulling out the first comically large sword when I heard someone walking on the road above me. There weren’t many trees to obscure me from the road, so I put the big sword back and leaned down against the slope of the mountain, hoping that the little amount of vegetation would hide me. It didn’t, but luckily the child that found me wasn’t part of the army. He wasn’t wearing a giant puffy red coat like the rest of them. He saw me and came sliding down the hill to talk to me. Apparently his family lived nearby and he had found a sword or something similar a few days ago. It was broken and he wanted me to fix it. I agreed to help and he pointed behind me to a shield looking thing that had the Autobot symbol on it. Apparently whatever I was going to be fixing had the same symbol.

OK. So this isn’t the completely finished design because these are “old” drawings of her I made (oh my gosh. The passage of time) a year or three ago, but pretty much from the start I’ve given her huge puffy 80s hair

None of these drawings have her bottom half with the design I like the most, I was mainly trying to figure that bit out for a while.

YES the colors don’t really match her in-game sprite. I don’t really care. I like these more :]

Probably not the final colors because I’m never finished with anything ever and I’ll keep tweaking them forever but for now I really like the colors on the top drawing (the one with the math)

Main inspirations for her design is Jadis wearing her war outfit with Aslan’s mane, the flannel moth and the red-backed shrike (the bird that impales its prey.)
