Updated Esmeralda Family Designs!

Clopin has joined the party!

I gave Esmeralda a more dynamic pose and updated the kiddo’s outfits so they can stick out a bit more.

Yokai (monsters) themed objime by Kisaiya, part of the artist shop at Maison de Neko. Their current themed is “hyakki yagyo” (”night parade of one hundred demons”). From top to bottom, left to right can see here:

Nozarashi (weather beaten bones, those can become mekurabe or gashadokuro yokai)

Kyuubi no kitsune (nine tailed fox)

Rokurokubi (long neck woman)

Nekomata (two tailed cat)

Karakasa kozo (living paper umbrella)

Now we’re on to secondary characters!

- Archdeacon Gustave: After the death of the last Archdeacon, Gustave was next to take his place. He is a kind and gentle man, but he has a lot of anxiety due to the weight of expectations and he’s unsure if he can live up to the legacy of his predecessor. Gustave often visits Quasi and brings him pieces of unique wood for the bellringer’s projects.

- Esmeralda: Now the mother of 2 beautiful children, Zephyr and Kisaiya, she can’t help but worry about their safety with Phoebus as a judge now. Societal pressures aside, she also has been helping the other Romani settle into a new home just outside the city walls since the Court of Miracles proved no longer safe. With Clopin getting older, he’s been leaning on her as a leader.

- Phoebus: Since Frollo’s demise, the captain of the guard has been promoted to “temporary” Judge while the King looks for a replacement. This has taken a long time since Phoebus has been doing an excellent job much to the man’s chagrin. Phoebus has never been one for clerical work and yearns to go back to keeping the streets of Paris safe. The other drawback to his new position is how distant he must be with his family. He misses them dearly.

-Zephyr and Kisaiya: The children of Phoebus and Esmeralda! Zephyr is a caring older brother even if he is annoyed by his little sister’s insistence of following him everywhere. He wants to be a brave warrior just like his father and loves to play with his little wooden sword. Little Kisaiya (or Kizzy as Quasi lovingly calls her) loves to visit her Uncle Quasimodo in the bell tower, always excited for the newest toy he’s made for the siblings. She is very curious and is always eager to follow her brother on some adventure, trusting that he’ll keep her safe and out of trouble.
