Description Another bit of steam-venting; the script is close to being finished at least. grrrrr...


And here we have Azalea's dark reflection, Iris...

***

How and when she had come to be was little more than a vague blur in her memory, but that didn't really matter to her. The important things, the ones that were certain, were straightforward enough:

Her name was Iris. The sword was called Bloodroot. It had been given to her, to augment her already considerable power. And she was surrounded by ignorant fools with only two arms, who feared and disparaged her. And they were right to be afraid, for she was exponentially superior to them and she knew it. And she was more than willing to hammer home the point with her lightning or her blade if any of them dared to insult her within earshot. Many of them were wastes of life energy anyway and easily relieved of that energy with Bloodroot's help.

However, and for no particular reason she could determine, sometimes her power of lightning would inexplicably fail her, as if an invisible switch had been thrown somewhere, and the power would suddenly vanish. To make matters worse, during these periods she would often suffer sudden and irrational fits of compassion and pity towards those two-armed fools who irritated her so much. She was not certain which grated on her more, the inexplicable loss of power or the fits of compassion. Obtaining the Bloodroot had made these problems less noticeable, but they continued to lurk in the back of her mind.

One day she would learn the cause of these irritations, and they would be dealt with, just like the ignorant two-arms all around her. One day they would be purged. All of them...

Hmm... Azalea's darker half. The pose, lighting, and coloration are nice. Although simple, I like the the "pattern" of studded collar and black cloth. One thing I notice on her lower arms are that her forearms seem a bit too ovoid; they don't taper naturally towards the wrist.

You mean Soul Eater?
Yeah, it does kinda look like that one.

That said it could also look like Ragnarr, Lucian's sword. (Lunar Knights)
It also has an eye, and the same shape of blade.

...

Maybe eyes are the new gems?
A while ago everybody drew gems in their swords, so why not eyes?

Uh. Unless it's called Soul Eater in Europe, I think you're thinking of something else...I'm talking about the evil sword in the Namco fighting game.

My Iris is way more evil than that. Simply because she isn't evil.

Think about that, and let me know when your head pops.
