King of the Woods

“In his character of the founder of the sacred grove and first king of Nemi, Virbius is clearly the mythical predecessor or archetype of the line of priests who served Diana under the title of Kings of the Wood, and who came, like him, one after the other, to a violent end. It is natural, therefore, to conjecture that they stood to the goddess of the grove in the same relation in which Virbius stood to her; in short, that the mortal King of the Wood had for his queen the woodland Diana herself. If the sacred tree which he guarded with his life was supposed, as seems probable, to be her special embodiment, her priest may not only have worshipped it as his goddess but embraced it as his wife.” 

- The Golden Bough, by James George Frazer

Wren heard people talking sh*t about V, and well... let’s just say that while it is her intention to be elegant, feminine, and graceful, she doesn’t always succeed. Whoops. xD  Luckily, V is used to dragging people out of fights, ha ha. (She was totally winning, though.)

Viridios from @wingcinna, because I can’t stop drawing him, he’s adorable?! ;v; Not that I do him justice in the least, but I’ll probably keep trying xD
