I've always wanted to draw the Contessa when she was younger, and a conversation with :iconpurplesyrup: this weekend got me in the mood to do it. It was the pigtails that decided it in the end.

This is roughly 10 years before she gets Exalted by the Silver Prince--she's around 15 or 16, I think. Which kind of makes Lance a cradle-robber, since he was already Exalted by this time. Ah, well. When you live for centuries, a couple decades tend to make less of a difference.

I love the expression. It just says "Man, I hate this stupid village. If I had dark powers, then we'd see who laughs at who at the market, butcher that fishwife good!"

Haha. She grew up under the tutelage of the Guild assassins--it's pretty much a given that she turned out to be evil herself.

Gah! Curse you The Guild!

(That always reminds me of The Boy from Scary Go Round)

Haha--they deserve a capital letter just for existing.

The thing is, they manage to make "The Guild" sound imposing, when it's really the equivalent of leaving the name blank on the guild application form (though I don't think "Insert Guild Name Here" would have worked half as well.)

Makes me want to gen a character with the known anathema flaw called "The Solar"

Ah, I would but my more light hearted game finished, and my other GM prefers more serious stuff.
