“But I am a princess—or at least, a girl,” said Floralinda stupidly; but she could not stop the question creeping in around those edges, nor the tinge of panic.
The witch despaired only momentarily at mortal ignorance.
“How could you be either of those things?” she said, as kindly as she could. “You’re a monster—a rare and magnificent monster; perhaps even unique.”
- Princess Floralinda and the Forty-Flight Tower by Tamsyn Muir
[ID: Princess Floralinda fanart. The second image is the first one zoomed into Floralinda's face. Floralinda, a human girl, is kneeling on a tiled floor with one foot braced to push off the ground. Her head is bent and turned to look at the viewer and glare. Her eyes glow electric blue. She has a sword attached to her side and a chain around her finger that is attached to Cobweb, a small fairy. The sword is tipped in blood and a ribbon of red floats around Floralinda. Floralinda casts a shadow on the floor that looks like a tower, with lighter lines running through it that form bricks and windows. There's bits of orange peel at Cobweb's feet.
Floralinda is pale-skinned with slightly scraggly blonde hair. Her arm is wrapped in bandages. She wears a fur cape, blue trousers, and brown boots. Cobweb is blue-skinned with light blue hair and wings. She has goggles perched on her head. She wears a belted tunic, trousers, and shoes. Her clothes are blue and the belt and shoes are brown.
