CHARYL THYTUE

Charyl Thytue is a cerulean-blooded child born into nobility. She's a very creepy child, meant to sort of parody the creepy little girl trope in horror movies. While very naive and childlike, she also kidnaps trolls so she can turn them into her "dolls", for which she has an affinity for all kinds. The process is pretty morbid, but she's pretty desensitized to it.

Hi, here’s my troll I tried to base off of Eve from the bible. She’s still pretty new and a rough concept!

Oh man, I can already tell I loveee her. 

FIRST: Alternia or Beforus or some type of AU? Our fansession takes place on Alternia, but with the only difference being that trolls are allowed to be older before being set off for their ordeals. Also, while I’m not sure in regular Alternia whether or not there’s more than one mother grub, in our session there is.

I don’t think it’s ever explicitly stated whether there are multiple? I still need to play more extended universe stuff to be sure of that, but I know for example that Kanaya’s mother grub And at least one other must’ve existed at once because Kanaya’s mother grub declined to brood, which means it’s possible for multiple to be alive at once. So afaik there’s at least canon justification to make multiple exist.

Name (preferably include how you came up with it and why): Bakita (From Saint Josephine Bakhita) Khoeii (From the african word for cow - which is a term used for a female elephant, which are the leaders of their herds.)

Age: 10.6 sweeps. She’s very old for someone living on Alternia, in fact she might be the oldest.

Strife Specibus: spearkind

Fetch Modus: *cricket noises*

How about some Bone Reading/Bone Scrying. Eve was said to be created from the rib of Adam, so bones are a good themeatic connection. She could keep the bones of the monstrous creatures she kills and toss them, the landing pattern determining what item comes out of her inventory.  Blood color: Jade

Symbol and meaning: I designed her symbol based on the tree from Eden in the Adam and Eve story. Same for her horns, which is supposed to appear like trees with newly formed branches.

The horns also look kinda like insects, which works out well!

Trolltag: greenAmazoness, referring to her green thumb and the fact that she’s a warrior.

Quirk: Bakita’s still a pretty new oc for me so I’d love if you can help me out here!

Quirks are usually my least favorite thing to do, so I understand. I’ve looked at the quirk trends for Jades, and it seems they have a tendency to have the most normal/Standard kind of typing, they usually use proper grammar but inconsistent capitalization and punctuation, and they like to put Emphasis on words. For that reason, I think you could go with something simple. 

She types with relatively proper grammar but slacks on punctuation because who needs that 

And when she needs to ->EMPHASIZE<- something she points at it with spears and capitalizes it

If you wanted a branch/tree reference you could also do something like her trying to hold several branching conversations at once, which is more a social quirk and less a typing one but is still interesting to read

Special Abilities (if any): She has no psychic powers, just really, really strong. Like, Equius strong.

Lusus: Since cloistered jadebloods have to take care of their mother grub, Bakita doesn’t have a lusus. Instead, she was raised by older teens who were followers and worshippers of her ancestor. This causes her to feel a great sense of honor and responsibility due to being raised as the future leader of her cloister, as well as stress. The jade bloods raising her didn’t develop a close relationship with Bakita, instead putting her on a pedestal left by her ancestor, until they either died or were sent off planet. Bakita feels a lot of pressure from them to be as good as her ancestor in terms of leadership and importance.

I Love this backstory.

Hive: Bakita lives in a primitive jade-blood colony that takes care of a mother-grub and wrigglers, in a brooding cavern. She lives in a shared hivestem with the other jades in her colony, and has her own part of the cave to herself. It’s very homely, with little to no technology aside from her computer, which is pretty beat up and old due to mishandling and Bakita’s frustration, on a shabby desk made of stone. It’s dimly lit, with several torches hung up on the walls, and a pile of animal hide she uses as a bed. There’s a lot of young adult romance novels stashed in the pile as well, recently given to her by online friends. She has many plants scattered around her room, mostly thistles and bdelliums in hanging pots from the walls and ceiling. Next to her door, she has a rack to put her weapons in, which range from bats, to halberds, to spears. She also has a punching bag in a corner of her room, made out of animal hide, and badly damaged.

I can’t believe you don’t have an apple tree up in here. Some sacred one that her ancestor planted and that isn’t supposed to be touched… Miraculously growing in the dark of the cave despite all odds…

Personality: Bakita is a friendly person, and she is defined by being fiercely loyal and responsible. To the jades in her cloister, she is an excellent leader. Having grown up in a wild and dangerous forest, she had to learn to defend herself, her fellow jades, and the grubs. Bakita has had numerous scrapes with monstrous creatures, which have left her with many scars across her body.

Bakita is, like most jade bloods, very motherly towards others. To grubs and wrigglers, she loves to coddle and baby them, and considers the grubs under her care her motivation to keep going, and learned to be stronger in order to protect them from the monstrous animals that are common around the area. When it comes to her fellow jadebloods in her tribe, she is very protective of them as well. Though while she considers the other jadebloods friends, Bakita feels a wall between her and them, caused by Bakita’s caretakers focusing on giving Bakita’s attention rather than the others. Some of the other jades secretly resent Bakita, and talk behind her back, which saddens Bakitam due to considering them her family.

When it comes to interacting with others, she’s pretty chill. She almost never is outwardly mad at anyone, and lets direct insults be ignored most of the time. Bakita loves to tease and joke with younger trolls, and due to being older than pretty much everyone she currently interacts with, tries to act like the wise individual her ancestor was, and offers advice and consolation to those who need it.

The tribe is also very dependent on Bakita in terms of survival, her being the strongest jade blood that helps steer predators away from themselves and the grubs, and put more work on her than themselves. Bakita has no problem with this, but ends up having feeling like she has an overwhelming responsibility for things out of her control. She feels very irritated when she can’t do anything to help, and hates the feeling of being helpless.

Having a large sense of duty to everyone else, Bakita considers the well being of others to be more important than hers. To her, the scars that have grown plentiful on her body is more than fine when it comes to help protecting those she cares about. If everyone else is fine, then she’s fine.

I adore herrrr. I think you also need to like…. Life is about Growth, Development, The Energy Of Change. And clearly she’s in a stifled system so she can struggle with that, but if you want her to be a life aspect or to develop into a life aspect, esp as a knight, you need that tension under the surface, that drive for Difference, that drive for New, For Change. As someone themed after Eve, she has to have that curiosity. She wants the knowledge of life, she wants to grow, she wants to expand, she wants to reach her potential. Even if something like anxiety is holding her back, life has to be there breathing under her skin.

Interests: Bakita is a strong and athletically gifted woman, and uses her prowess to hunt and fight beasts that live around her area, and uses the fights she wins as a method of reassurance that she’s strong enough to protect others.

She is an amateur gardener, having grown numerous flora around the brooding caverns. Though, she’s very bad at it, and her plants often die.

Psst, her ancestor could’ve been good at gardening to give her something to feel she’s lacking in, Ancestor Insecurity Hours.

Bakita has an interest in young adult novels, some which were given to her by friends she made online.

That is really so cute.

Ancestor: Due to not having a better name, I’ve just called her The First. The First was one of the first trolls ever hatched in recorded history. One of the first jades to care for trolls in the brooding caverns, she witnessed the development of troll culture and society, and lived for well over a century, and a few more due to awakening her rainbow drinker capabilities. Initially amazed at the evolving of trolls, she soon noticed the hemospectrum starting to take control of everyday life. Disgusted by the brutal treatment of lowbloods and the extinction of the limebloods, she stole a matriorb from a dying mother grub, and went to an isolated cavern away from troll society to create a community away from the hemospectrum. Her colony was successful for a long while, until some imperial soldiers found it. Ordered by the heiress to kill them all, all that was left of the colony was the First, her fellow jades, and a mother grub. In exchange for her own life, the First pleaded for the jades and the mother grubs to continue living. The Empress complies (not Condy, another heiress that came before her), under the condition that all the grubs raised by them will be sent to another city with their lusus to live, and won’t grow up in the caverns. The jadebloods agreed, and the First was executed. The jadebloods then continued their work of raising grubs under the empire’s watch, though now taught new jadebloods to consider the First as a figurehead of worship and admiration, a lesson that carried over the the jadebloods that raised Bakita.

Bakita herself greatly respects the First, and molds her morals and her putting others before her mindset from her ancestor. She holds great insecurity in not holding up the expectations put on her by the First.

To fight the name rule, you could switch this up to call her The Firstone. 8 letter name rule! You could also do The Thoracic. A reference to the thorax, the part of the body in which the heart and lungs lie. The ribcage, the origin of life and humanity (trollmanity?).

Title: Knight of Life

I definitely think this is a good title for her.

Land: ????

The Land of Good and Evil is a very cheesy but apt one for a character based around Eve. Snakes as consorts…

Dream Planet: Derse

Voice Claim: Definitely Bismuth from Steven Universe.

Trivia: Bakita isn’t very good with technology. Although the brooding caverns is equipped with minimal technology, she is still very primitive and as a result gets frustrated with tech due to her lack of knowledge about it.

I love her. I really, really love her. I Wouldn’t change a thing about her design either. She’s really fantastic. Thank you for sharing!

Happy birthday!! I'm sorry u feel sucky on your bday, I hope you feel better!

Thank you!♡♡♡♡♡

[vomitcrisis]

What would happen if Fachtna and Akane met up again?

akane would tell him off (with, a lot of profanity) and fachtna would just feel bad and show it just a little.. maybe saying sorry once

[fefsprites]

What blood color is Mealoi? Or if it's a spoiler for Abodebound, I completely understand! I'm asking cuz I wanna draw some fanart of your characters ^u^

It’s not a spoiler! She’s a fuchsiablood, and simply hides it, and her symbol, because she’s a supporter of the Sufferer!

[fantroll-purgatory]

@plumb1tes

HEY. HEY I LOVE THIS PUNK

In fact, I love this punk so much I had difficulty even reviewing her bc she’s GREAT like a white shark

FIRST: Alternia or Beforus or some type of AU? I have an AU where when Condy (or another fuschia, idk still on the fence about it) conquers more and more planets, she establishes a rule where there has to be one heiress per planet that has children on it, to keep more order amongst her empire. However once the heiress becomes of age, they are normally killed by the Empress to prevent her throne from being challenged, and are replaced by a new heiress to watch the planet. The heiress also has to be assigned to a monstrous lusus, that could produce planet-destructive consequences if left neglected. The Empress assigns fuschias to them specifically, to exhaust them to make sure they don’t challenge or pose a threat to her.

Man I super like this especially since our frequent submitter silentekos came up with a similar concept and like. Word! I love that as a concept because it’s pretty much exactly how capitalism works to keep its own power centralized while granting itself greater surveillance of those they govern.

The planet that’s the main focus for my story is governed by ENTER NAME HERE. The hemospectrum is upheld in a very familiar fashion to Alternia’s, though less chaotic than Alternia, in terms of random bouts of violence caused by drones, is made up for with random bouts of floods and earthquakes caused by Selaki’s lusus, due to her neglect to fulfill her duties.

Name (preferably include how you came up with it and why): Selaki (from the scientific name of sharks: Selachimorpha) Stiden (from the prehistoric megatoothed shark, Carcharocles angustidens).

Age: 7.85 sweeps (around 17 years)

Strife Specibus: tridentkind, with only one side with sharp edges, in the shape of her sign. She likes to use it as a fashion accessory, and a symbol to show off her royal status.

God I love it it’s so dope-looking.

Fetch Modus: She uses a purse modus. It’s relatively uncomplicated, and functions basically the same as wallet modus, but with a bigger size restriction.

Hmmm I kinda like a modus that sizes items up or multiplies them? The Abundance Modus. It gives her a tool as a ruler to potentially assist her subjects with getting the resources they need but like. That’s not what she uses it for. She can basically use it to generate more stuff for herself and to give everything she owns this larger-than-life sense.

Blood color: Fuschia. She is the current heiress governing her planet.

Symbol and meaning: Pira, sign of the Visionary (Prospit + Mind)

Trolltag: voguishDespot, referring to her fashionable rule over her planet.

I like maybe crestingDorsal [CD] to bring this idea of a shark’s dorsal fin breaking the waves. Gives a sense of forboding! Furthermore, “crest” as in “crown” emphasizes her royal nature.

Quirk: Selaki types her “W”s with )_(|)_(, and often says words like “dear” “dahling” or “sweetie” in either an affectionate or condescending way, depending on the situation. Other than that, normal punctuation and grammar.

Ex: “The quick bro)_(|)_(n fox jumped over the lazy dog, dahling.”

Little cliche but I love shark quirks? You indicate that she’s kinda dramatic now, so she could preface her initial entrance into a chat with

CD: ^ ^

CD: ^ ^

CD: ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  ( ˇ෴ˇ )

Special Abilities (if any): She has no psychic abilities, normal for a highblood.

Lusus: Since she is an heiress, she is assigned a monstrous lusus to keep tame to prevent her planet from being severely damaged by a fit of rage from her lusus. Her lusus, specifically, is a ginormous megalodon shark, capable of causing earthquakes and floods. Their relationship is almost nonexistent, due to Selaki’s insistence to avoid contact unless absolutely necessary. This results in her neglecting her duties, until her lusus starts wreaking havoc by causing chaos, forcing her to tend to her, by feeding her large lusii she orders her drones to kill. She also apparently feeds trolls that piss her off to her lusus. The main reason she doesn’t like to tend to her lusus, besides the exhaustion that comes with the task, is because she feels put on the spot, and doesn’t like the pressure of taking care of a giant destructive shark monster, which leads her making less than stellar decisions.

Physical Appearance: Selaki is rather short for a highblood, and wears heels to make her seem more intimidating. She died her hair fuschia, but her roots slightly grown, showing her natural black hair, cut into a messy bob. She has gills, normal for a seadweller, and sharp teeth, as a reference her lusus. Selaki also has a scar on the middle of her forehead, in the shape of her sign. This is given to all fuschias at birth, to permanently mark them. She has her horns the shape of the pisces symbol, like Feferi’s.

Selaki has golden accessories on her horns instead of a tiara, and is almost always seen wearing her circular shades. She wears a designer jacket, with her symbol on the sleeves, and a black dress with her sign.

Personality and Backstory: Selaki was assigned to her lusus as soon as she left the brooding caverns, forced to take care of her lusus to prevent it from causing destruction to her planet. Before her change to what she is now, she was pretty meek and socially awkward, due to constantly having to monitor her lusus personally, having little time for herself. However she eventually got burned out, and turned to neglecting her duties as a fuschia in favor of focusing on her hobbies. She essentially came out of her shell, dressing in more glamorous fashion, and putting on a more gregarious personality, becoming quite eccentric.

She keeps in contact with the other planets’ fuschias on a private social media reserved for them only, and is monitored by the Empress. It’s basically if you take a bunch of queen bees and put them in the same room. The fuschias constantly try to one-up and brag to each other, and are very cut-throat with each other. Selaki used to be picked on by the other heiresses due to being unconfident in herself, but learned to not let their words affect her as much. In fact, she became just as cut throat as they were, if not more. An apex predator if you will *cough cough shark pun*.

Selaki loves putting on a facade of living a glamorous life of luxury, and tries to put up an “i am better than you” vibe. Despite being a sociable person, her eccentric behavior causes her to say pretty odd things, as she is still a bit socially awkward, in the sense she blurts out whatever she thinks, and tends to value honesty, and absolutely hates being lied to. However despite seemingly stopped being the stressed individual she claims she used to be before her burnout, but still gets stressed out quite easily deep down. It’s because of this stress that she often makes irrational decisions, such as ignoring her lusus. However her ego makes her put on a front that she is making completely rational choices, despite obviously not. Instead she’ll just roll with her bad choices and see how things go.

Selaki loves to design and has a passion for architecture, however she isn’t very great at it, but prefers to call her works “abstract” to void criticism. She designed her own palace, and many buildings on her planet. She likes to do things with style, no matter how dirty things get.

When interacting with others, she is very dominating, and wants to appear superior to…pretty much everyone. She subtly treats everyone as if they’re beneath her, and treats those she fondly regards almost as pets, in terms of affection. Whoever does piss her off, she reacts in a number of ways. If it’s another fuschia, she playfully insults them. However if it’s any troll underneath her blood-wise, she outright threatens them, and feeds them to her lusus if they piss her off enough.  

God I…love this girl. I will protect her.

Interests: Fashion, design, voguing, FLARPING (secretly. She thinks it’s nerdy.), money

Title: Selaki’s sign is tied to the mind aspect. In case her current character doesn’t fit the mind aspect, I’d rather take suggestions in order to make her more mind-bound, instead of giving her a different aspect, please! Currently, I think she’s a Page of Mind before her journey to grow as a person, but I’m down to change her class, as long as it isn’t thief! She’s in the same session as Charyl, another troll I submitted here a bit ago!  I decided to go with your suggestion for Charyl to be a thief of space, so I don’t want to overlap classes lol.

I think she’s def. Mind but maybe a Bard? She’s destroying through logic and, as an inverse, creating her own Self. Also god the idea of this little punky brewster in a Bard of Mind outfit sounds absolutely ridiculous.

Land: Any suggestions would be great!

How about Land of Currents and Waterfalls? I feel like the flow of the water would be a good nod to Mind, and she could find colonies on the water-covered planet by figuring out which waterfalls hide a cave system behind them.

Dream Planet: Prospit

Yep! All in all, I adore Selaki and honestly don’t have any visual changes for her? She’s amazing (mazing) just the way she is.

[fantroll-purgatory]

@plumb1tes

This is my Athena Troll! Hope you like her ^u^

YES with the 80′s businesswoman vibe! Love her!

FIRST: Alternia or Beforus or some type of AU?

Ok, this is a WIP AU where twelve trolls (based off of Greek Gods) play sgrub, and their planet is pretty similar to Alternia in terms of enforcing the hemospectrum and the like. This troll is based off of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war (the tactical side of it)

Name (preferably include how you came up with it and why): Athine Pallas (Athine from the goddes’s name, Athena. Pallas is from the extra title that some address Athena, as some call her Athena Pallas.)

Hmmmm I worry that this name tips its hand a little too readily? Athena’s got a lot of epithets besides “Pallas,” many of which serve an actual function of her role as a goddess. Based on your description, I think the best ones to use for her are Atrytone, “The Unweariying,” and Promachos, “She Who Fights in Front.”

So maybe…Atryon Pachos? Also keeps her initials the same.

Age: 7 sweeps (almost 8)

Strife Specibus: shieldKind (Can be throwable, and its quite high-tech, like Captain America’s. It has retractable razors on the rim of the shield, and circles back after thrown like a boomerang.)

God I love this! As CD pointed out, Athena from borderlands has a rad shield that might be fun to use as a visual anchor!

Fetch Modus: Not really great with these, but puzzlemodus seems to fit her, as she likes solving problems.

I kinda like giving her Jade’s Pictionary Modus since Athena is a also a goddess of handicrafts.

Blood color: Teal

Symbol and meaning: It’s an astrology sign of Minerva, Athena’s roman counterpart.

Love it! It already fits tealblood sign language pretty well! I may add a line and open up the upper loop a little but I think it’s good to go!

Trolltag: adroitExarch

You’ll see below that I’ve offered suggestions to modify her ancestor’s title, but I still like this trolltag since it sets up a desire to rise above her station.

Quirk: She doesn’t use any other punctuation other than a period. It’s to show her monotone voice. (If you have any suggestions I’m glad to hear some!)

Nah, I think this works! Troll quirks don’t have to be super complicated. If you wanna add a fun one, maybe she extends her “oo” sounds into “ooo” when she’s over-excited, sort of like an owl hoot!

ex: “Whooo the fuck do yooou think yooou are?”

Special Abilities (if any):

Lusus: An owl, which is sacred to Athena. She was a mentor to Athine, and raised her without much fighting, as Athine was a pretty composed grub. However as Athine gets older, she spends less time with Owlmom, and doesn’t really listen to her advice as much due to believing she’s smart enough to not need it, becoming absorbed into studying due to wanting to be a general, like her ancestor. Owlmom loved Athine, and felt pretty sad about being ignored. She grew a bit mischievious, and would frequently cause trouble to get Athine to pay attention to her.

Personality: The first thing to describe Athine: logical to a fault. She is a pretty unemotional person, and responds to questions with the most logical answer she can think of. Athine is an ambitious person, and a go-getter. She doesn’t want to settle with being a legislacerator, even though she assumes she’d be a pretty good one. She has her sight on being the general of the emperor’s army. With her perception and intelligence, she gained a decently sized ego, though it’s much more subtle than others in her session (*cough cough* the Aphrodite troll *cough*).

I wanna MEET the Aphrodite troll!

Athine is also a pretty irritable person, but most of her frustration is directed at her lusus’s mischief, and tries not to lose her cool in front of her group if she can help it. She is a pretty professional person, and almost always reacts to situations with an apathetic demeanor. This doesn’t mean she’s emotionless, but she prefers to not have her feelings cloud her judgement on others.

God yeah she’s a Dersite.

Athine is confident in herself as a leader, and is good at ordering others to work in order to achieve a goal. She’s definitely not a personable troll, nor is she very friendly, but is able to quickly make decisions in the heat of the moment. She is very no nonsense, and has no sense of humor most of the time. While she thinks herself as a good leader, if a friend were to be harmed by her own judgement or decisions unintentionally, she would be quite remorseful and critical of herself for a long time.

Interests: She loves to play chess, and has played it since she was a grub. Athine is also pretty studious, and likes to gain knowledge that will benefit her or her group, though she doesn’t really like trivial knowledge, or information that isn’t useful to her.

Athine likes to play FLARP with the Ares troll of their session, being a pretty formidable duo (him being the one that does most of the actual fighting, and her giving him orders. This is symbolic of the fact that Ares and Athena are two sides of war; Ares is the brutal fighting, and Athena is the tactical planning.)

Honestly if I could add something? Include weaving. She’s the goddess of warfare and of handicrafts, and her weaving competition with Arachne is one of the more famous myths with which she’s associated. Also much like tactical warfare, weaving requires immense pre-planning and rapid adjustment if you mess up.

Ansestor: The Exarch. A supreme general that squashed rebellions, leaded fleets of soldiers to victory, and the Emperor’s right hand woman. Her story was a pretty well-known one, and it is from her ancestor that Athine aspired to become as brilliant as her, and wanted to become a general instead of a legislacerator. Athine greatly respects and admired her ancestor, and wishes to be just like her.

Man I like the concept but troll rules as far as we know still state that ancestor titles be eight letters long. If we go a rank above Exarch, we get Patriarch, which actually matches the correct number? Whether you wanna change it to Matriarch or not is up to you, but I like Patriarch since it lines up with Athena wanting to be on the level of her male contemporaries. As CD points out, a common feminist criticism is that Athena favors men in her stories but also like…men wrote those myths, so…

But the point stands. I especially feel like this fits her because you’d expect army generals to be purplebloods or violetbloods, both of which are apparently male-dominated castes.

Title: Thief of Mind (I think this suits her pretty well, but if you believe you found another one that suits her, I’m all ears.)

I…honestly think she might be a Space player? Tactical warfare and handicraft have a lot to do with manipulating space, and while I admit that I’m the one who included weaving, Space definitely has an association with fashion (Just look at Kanaya and Jade, the most fashionable characters in Homestuck).

Given her desire to be this flawless leader, I think Heir of Space is a fitting title? Especially since the inverse, Mage of Time, also lines up with the character you gave her.

Land: Any suggestions?

Yes! Land of Spiders and Frogs. Given the Arachne myth, I can’t imagine she’s a fan of ‘em. Also lets you design a very witchy-looking planet, which is fun since Athena is also worshiped as an aspect of the Goddess in Wicca. Go wild! Put some crystals on it! And Hoo BOY is frog breeding the perfect task for her! It’s literally all about pre-visualization and intense strategy.

Dream Planet: Derse

Yep yep. With her new classpect, that would make her Liga, sign of the Dogged. I think it suits her real well, and incorporating it into her original sign is as easy as adding just a couple lines. Let’s go to the redesign!

My redesign was pretty heavy handed, partly because of how well-designed she is in the first place. Sometimes it’s like, I could just textually give you one suggestion or go absolutely crazy with it.

So CD and I have a running theory that tealbloods are all designed after college kids of some kind. But the lady on the left doesn’t look like she goes to my college! She looks like she’s mock-interviewing me and keeps scribbling way too many notes after each of my answers and never changes expression.

She’s 7 sweeps old. She should look like a teenager. So I wanted to design the girl that might eventually grow up to be the woman on the left. And who becomes an 80′s powersuited war general? A 70s college feminist, potentially. I based the design on the right on Gloria Steinem, who was really weirdly upfront about working for the CIA because it was “liberal, nonviolent, and honorable” lol. Let’s go top to bottom!

Hair - Original is heavily edited from Sollux’s hair, of all people (I admit to being very weak when it comes to spriting hair with limited volume), while the new version is from a naphal sprite sheet. Gloria Steinem had iconically highlighted hair and I wanted to nod to that.

Eyes - whenever we talk about a “wise owl” we usually see a cartoon owl with a graduation cap, a set of comically large glasses, and a pointer. I wanted to give her glasses to make her look more owlish while keeping the downcast condescending look from the original.

Lips(/Heels) - I wanted to add a little bit of college-y rebellion to her aesthetic and felt the best way to do that was to play on the trope of “lipstick as red as the blood of her enemies.” Instead, she’s sporting a seadweller-purple lip and a matching kitten heel, to make it clear she’s gonna chew ‘em up and stomp on ‘em.

Shirt - I was listening to Death By Glamour on loop when I sprited the left side to get in the mood for those shoulders. On the right I simplified a lot. Gloria Steinem usually wore plain shirts with high-waisted pants, which was easy enough to edit from your original.

Symbol - made it a little bigger and added two internal horizontal lines to reference Liga

So that’s my very indulgent review of your troll! I hope you like some of the suggestions I made!
