LANTERN [E.G.O.] Fajie and Yoru

I'm finally done!! Okay, here's the design breakdown. I had the idea for Yoru to wear a simplified version of jūnihitoe, a layered formal court dress for ladies in waiting. I thought it gave off the fairy vibe really well. And Fajie wears a hoodie that's remisniscent of Towa, her source character. I also made the roots grow over exactly where her wings would sprout.

It took a while to finish but I hope it was worth it. Forgot to say this EGO was requested by @ore-nanimonai.

Here's the theory I have about Faelantern's meaning:

Faelantern is composed of two parts, the Fairy lure, and the Elder tree. The fight starts with the Fairy charming your Sinners, rendering them unable to deal damage even when attacking. You could only ever damage the tree, not the fairy. Its vines will twist and move her out of harm's way. And once the fairy lure's HP has been depleted (so to speak), the tree body will rise up from the ground with yellow eyes burrowing beneath its roots and start attacking you.

What I think, taking the abnormality event into consideration, is that this Fairy acts like most fairies do in game. They charm you into a false sense of security, to feed on you. But the Fairy lure isn't what's going to eat you, it's the creatures beneath the roots that will eat you. Thus I interpret that the Fairy shares a symbiotic relationship with the roots. Without it, the roots would starve, waiting forever for someone careless enough to step on it. Only the roots would get hit when it's attacked, but the Fairy will heal it because it's a known property of the Fairies, they will gladly heal you to procure long term rations.

That's why I think Faelantern symbolises betrayal. These four I have shown here, Sinclair, Gregor, Fajie, and Yoru, all have a significant female figure in their life who has lured them into a false symbiotic relationship and lure them into getting hurt for the Fairy's sake. I still find it interesting that Sinclair resonates with the Fairy instead of the Tree.... Why are you Kromering my boy? That's fascinating.

In a different angle, you could say the Fairy is carrying all that responsibilty to feed the residents of the tree. It depends on her to draw victims in after all.

Interestingly enough as I pointed out in a past post, Lantern EGO gives you horns like a devil. It may be intentional on their part.

I drew Fajie and Yoru here, but in canon, the one most likely to get Lantern EGO is Morgen. It is also the last fae themed Abnormality to give the Fay researchers. Morgen could both be the Fairy needing to feed her hungry tree or be the roots controlled by the Fairy in her life, Alice Kinnian.

After making Contempt, Awe ego suit, I ended up drawing my sona in Faelantern. I like it, but I was mostly making it to get a reference for some slop I wanna draw. Whether that slop ever sees the light of day on my page is a mystery

Got a ryoshu wip on the backburner that I put off a little after finishing Canto 9 and getting sidetracked by whimsical drawings. So hopefully I can finish that up and post it soon.

So this quarter I’m in a thed class (themed entertainment design [theme park design]), and we are allowed, encouraged even, to sketch based off of ip. So first up is arch designs for rides and such! I chose project moon my beloved for this and did stuff of the black forest
