oc art :D barbara’s on fhe left, naught is on the right :)
they are both deities, barbara being fate and naught being famine, i like to associate him with isolation too
naught in particular is some brittle tree guy who spent a very very long time making himself a body to puppeteer since his actual body is a ton of roots that are haphazardly stretched out in a huge room, making him unable to talk to anyone outside of it unless someone were willing to visit him, though the other deities are very busy people, so they don’t have much of an opportunity to do that. the only one who visited him regularly is barbara.
barbara was mainly drawn to him because she couldn’t make out how naught would end up after the making of his second body, and in spite of her emotions being extremely dulled as a result of her foresight, she still has enough to show some concern towards him, even if he was keen on building his body alone. tbh i might change this a bit but the idea is there, im hoping to flesh these two out more
