#eilonwy

"Girl? GIRL?! If it weren't for this GIRL, you would still be in the Horned King's dungeon!"

(Sorry, it's been a while again! Pushing through this burnout, might not be able to do all the Darkside Princesses people suggested in time for this years Halloween, but I will save them for next year if so!)

This version of Eilonwy lost Gurgi and Taran when the Horned King was able to throw Taran into the Cauldron after Gurgi jumped in to end the reanimation spell. The King escaped as his castle crumbled around him, and Eilonwy was left bereft of two of her new dearest friends.

Heartbroken at how unfair it was that her friends had lost their lives only for the Horned King to escape to plot another day, Eilonwy became determined to not only stop the Horned King for good, but to find a way to undo the deaths of Taran and Gurgi. The Cauldron holds them, the Cauldron can restore life, the Cauldron is the key to ending the Horned King, and Eilonwy is the one who holds the Cauldron now.

If she knew how to weild its power, she could have all she deserved, restitution, and revenge.

But for that, she would need to learn much more magic than the mere spark that lit her bauble.

And so, bidding fairwell to Fflewddur Fflam, who was too heartsick and old to quest anymore, Eilonwy traveled back to the one place she was sure could prepare her for confronting the Horned King, and show her the path to unlocking the Cauldron's secrets--the swamps of Morva.

But one does not enter an apprenticeship with the Witches of Morva and expect to walk out the same as they came.

And a heart full of sorrow and rage, and a determination to break the bonds of death itself, are dangerous things to bring within the sphere of the Cauldron's influence.

Eilonwy finds not only a fine education in the Dark Arts in Morva, but a powerful Patron as well. One who's powers when combined with her own promise to bring her to bring her all she seeks.

Deeply enchanted with the fact that Taran's memories of Eilonwy are his most precious treasure — precious enough to rival actual in-world rare magical artifacts

Wild card! Princess Eilonwy as she appeared in the Disney interpretation of The Black Cauldron.

This one is thanks to @drzime, as it was her idea to make a Princess Eilonwy AND she repainted her face~!
