My designs for the girlies <3 I love visual story telling so ofc they had to reflect the changes over the game.
More details under cut:
ACT 1:
This is the most bare bones for each. Hornet only has her cloak and needle. I like the idea that her cloak was made from her mother's orginal cloak seen in red memory.
Widow design focuses on the wear and tear she taken over the years. The pins embed in her have bad scaring and at time the wounds reopen. Her claws have also endured deep cuts from playing the threads non-stop.
ACT 2:
Post Widow fight Hornet knocks Widow out and looks for a way to restore her mind and tend her neglected wounds. She gains the faydown cloak. The feathers fluff up the cloak and gain the more dress like look in game. Hornet also at this point has regained her own strength so she more put together.
Widow has to be binded in Hornets silk to heal her shell. Hornet enlists the help of yarnaby to remove the pins placed in Widow in hopes of preserving her ability to make silk. The surgery was a success but the time it will take for Widow to recover her strength, let alone her silk production is up in the air. In the meantime Hornet looks to get a mask for Widow to regain her mind. She hopes gain more information on the citadel above (and the weavers once here).
ACT 3:
Hornet now fully reflects her journey in Pharloom. The spared of void has made the lands colder. The fleas as a final parting gift tailor Hornets cloak and lines the insides with their fur to further warm her. They also allow for the fay feathers to more easily take flight make Hornet more agile. She weaved a silk body suit to protect her from the void. The silk is weaved with runes to protect and bind.
Widow with her mind regained feels indebted to Hornet for her kindness. She speads much of her early recovery bitter at the loss of her skills and fragile to most harm outside bellheart. Late into act 2 and early act 3 she recovered enough to hunt again thanks to hornet's silk. She briefly parts from Hornet to go on a personal hunt to truly regain her own power. She seeks out the craws to fight and sharpen her skills. She stands trail before the crawfather and emerges with pelts to sew into a new dress.
She takes some of the bells in the vains around bellheart to use for her own. Her silk is limited at the moment so makes do with her old weapon of choice.
