Description Waiting in the darkness, it was watching. Dark, hooded eyes were fixed on the road in front of it, as it was hiding itself in the surrounding foliage. Waiting. Watching. Waiting. Its prey was close, tantalizingly so. Still, it was not yet here, not close enough. But soon, very soon... It didn't matter though, it could wait. The evening was still young.

Bree walked briskly down the road to her house, the sharp wind in her backside, urging her on. It was a normal day, just like any other, and yet... Something felt... off. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but something definitely wasn't right. Like an itch right between her shoulder-blades, that she just could not scratch, try as she might. Pulling her jacket tighter around her, she quickened her step. It was probably nothing. Still, it couldn't hurt to get inside.

Suddenly Bree stopped dead in her tracks, almost as pulled by invisible strings. There was someone else here, watching her! She gazed nonchalantly around the road, trying to remain inconspicuous. Nothing there. The only sound was the wind whistling in her air, but it had no message for her, no news. And yet... It was best to transform. Gently, Bree put her hand in her right pocket, searching for the familiar butterfly shape. A chill went down her spine as she realised it wasn't there.

Searching frantically, the blond girl showed her hand down her pocket. She had to find it! She could feel whatever it was growing, almost like electricity filling the air. Then all of sudden it was there, not in the pocket it was supposed to, but in the other one. She didn't have any time to mull about it, there was no time to lose!

"West Wind Metamorphisis!"

Bree felt weird. There was something strange with the power that enveloped her, it didn't at all feel like usual. Filling her lungs with fresh air, she fell into her battle stance with ease. Only to realise that something was indeed horribly wrong. She looked down.

"THIS ISN'T MY FUKU!"

In the bushes, Chandra was trying to stifle her giggles in her hands. The scene unfolding in front of her was pure gold, she couldn't believe that Bree hadn't realised her charm had been switched. A few days earlier she had approached the older girl, begging her to go trick and treating with her. She had resisted, mumbling something vague about not having a costume. Well, that wasn't a problem any more, was it? She took a closer peek, smiling. Blue was definitely Bree's colour. This was going to be the best halloween ever!


Well, what can I say! I promised that I would enter her Halloween challenge, and I did! (Hey, it's still October 30 here!) I couldn't quite decide in who to draw, but in the end I landed on Bree, because her hair always kicks ass! Only problem, Bree HATES Halloween! So, how to fix that? Well, they're magical girls, they can do ANYTHING!

Bree is dressed up like another magical girl (Chandra seems like the kind of girl who would enjoy magical girl manga!), Mew Mint, from Tokyo Mew Mew. She's infused with the gene of the Lorikeet, and a bird seemed so appropriate for the wind-senshi! Also, Chandra's right, blue is her colour!

Yeah, her hair went a bit all over the place, but I love it so much! Also, I guess it's hardly possible to see, but the symbol inside the locket-thingy on her neck is Zephyrus' symbol, the triangle with the squiggly line!

"the sharp wind in her backside, urging her on"

For a moment I thought poor Bree had gas.

Anyway, her hair looks awesome and that costume is terribly cute. I love her 'WTF?' expression the most though.

I love drawing curly/wavy hair in general! Like, Michiru was probably never my fave SM chara, yet I LOVE drawing her because of her hair! XD

Glad you like it!

Sweeet. I love feedback on my writing.

And some time soon I hope to revise the first arc, once I get the first arc up.

Thank you! Sometimes I get ideas that I just cannot encompass properly just with an image (I haven't learnt how to do that yet! ), and then a little text just needs to be written!
