"In hindsight, there should have been no surprise that Artemis Fowl II had fallen so hard for her. No surprise at all."

This is how I spent Christmas morning! Drawing! I'm glad I'm still sort of able of doing it XD

Anyway, this is how I personally see Minerva Paradizo (a sightly older self than the one featured in the books): at the first sight she looks pretty, almost doll-like. Then the sharp jawline and the shape of her eyes (highlighted by the frame of her lenses) should tell that there's more in her than just "pretty". In the books it's never mentioned her eye colour, so I went with green, it fits her (also Eva Kant tribute? Since I see her as the Eva for Artemis' Diabolik). The shirt she's wearing is a tribute to the one she's wearing on the final post of @af-answers , by @iesnoth , I love her look there.

Inspired by chapter six of Petition to Get the Gaang A Braincell 2k20 by avatays and thelostcolony on ao3 found here:

Bonus! A closeup of the hermit crab bc I love him

Same Holly, same.

Well, nowadays the Minerva in my head is the FP one, which is sightly different than the book one since she's older. There are some canon divergences in FP due to it. Nothing game changing, but in some scenes her behaviour is very different.

If I am to pick the book one, I doubt she'd add much to the "dealing with the demons" thing, she's not a fighter, EXCEPT that it'd probably be quite a shock for Abbot, she could contribute very well to Artemis tearing him down since she knew how the story began, and the fact that her presence would have Hybras landing in the correct time (those "I need to redid the equation" words are bullshits, both her and Artemis should have eidetic memory UwU), since she worked on the time equation for the longest and has a better understanding of it than Artemis (as much as I love Artemis, canonically he was dabbling with demonology for what, three months? Minerva is YEARS that works on it, and she's as much a genius as he is).

I can see some permises for her to have some nice/funny moments, like her and Artemis stating the count of the bomb in the very same moment, or when there is that shared memories moment both of them looking at the other, squinting and saying: "My bank account. Swear. Now."

Here is daisy! Gone too soon 💔
