☀Mirabel, if she lived in the world of my og story, Garden of the Never-Known Goddess☀

It is mainly a world-building and character-design exercise for myself to develop the culture of the island.

The story is simple. Instead of the miracle granting the refugees Encanto, it transported them to Bronthea's Island.

You will notice people are way healthier mentally here, and all will be explained with the respected characters.

Mirabel, for example, is not isolated from her family due to her lack of a gift, or blessing, as they would probably call it here, due to the more theistic nature of the people.

I didn't use a lot of world-building for her, but the other members of the family will have a bit more.

Btw, Kefálaio, according to Google Translate, means capital in Greek. They live in the capital of the island. To my dear Greek-speaking readers, if it doesn't make sense, please tell me about it.

🐍Medusa is back!🐍

It's been so long since I drew her, and I absolutely LOVE the new design. 💕💜💕

Update on her backstory: now it's a mixture of the two different origin stories from the "canon" mythology.

She was born a gorgon, but she was also the most loyal priestess of Athena. 🦉

She wears a headscarf to cover the base of her head. She lost a few of her snakes before she became Bronthea's priestess, but lost almost the rest when the temple fell. The scares left are incredibly sensitive.

She's the only one other than Bronthea (and her plot twist spy) who leaves the island. Though Medusa never physically leaves, only spiritually.

For those unaware, modern helenistic paganism recognizes her as a deity (not to be confused with a goddess), and many people worship, and or work with her.

Now that the temple is mostly empty, she takes time out of her day to help witches and practitioners with their magic.

🌌⭐Lady Bronthea's human form⭐🌌

It's also her past self. There's no good reason for that; I'm just currently working on Vee's visions and love this.

This design has been long overdue. Bronthea appears in this form most of the time.

In front of the archeologists, she ofthen shows herself in her full form though.

She has three forms. A full form (3rd slide), this inbetween a form and a fully human form.

But I also have to tell you guys more about her, don't you think?

Most people don't know she's a goddess. They believe she's simply one of the immortals, blessed with healing powers by "the Goddess."
