I've wanted to see Maria, Gratia and (female?) Izzy drawn together since forever, you basically made my dream came true dsjhdhgf ;-; Does your Izzy have Loran descent? Other two characters associated with Loran (Henryk and Suspicious Beggar) are brown too, so I thought...? Would make sense for her (?) to be so interested in those beasts if it is essentially reclaiming lost heritage, not to mention the NPCs 'Successors of Izzy' are roaming Loran too!
Hi Kat ;)
Thats an interesting idea! But no, Izzy in my fic actually comes from the same land as Eileen. And since I decided to use the Dark Souls geographical names for the purposes of worldbuilding (Yharnam for example is located in Carim, a land of pale-skinned people whose knights fight without shields) I arbitrarily chosen Jugo as the name of the land. In DS2, Jugo is a desert land famous for its seductive sorceresses and pyromancy but by the time Bloodborne rolls around, that past has been long forgotten. Izzy was forced to leave Jugo as a child and grew up in the slums of Yharnam where she ended up mixed in with the wrong crowd. While Eileen has a strong grasp on the culture of her country (especially when it comes to funerary customs, she is truly appalled by how Yharnam disposes of their dead) Izzy is a Yharnamite through and through.
My Izzy does indeed explore the ruins of Loran alongside the Byrgenwerth scholars tho! And she and Archibald end up working for Mensis after leaving the college. In Yahar'gul, they continued their studies on the Loran Darkbeasts.
