Description
Tonight, hailing all the way from Bellatrix in Sector 1414, it's the one, the only, Boodikka!!!Born in the 18th century, Boodikka was trained by her mother in the art of combat, with weapons of all kinds, from swords and axes to plasma rifles and grenades. She ended up joining a group of female mercenaries called the Bellatrix Bombers, known to their enemies as the Blood Sisters of Bellatrix. They went about the intergalactic trade routes, fending innocent trade ships from pirates. However, under the leadership of one Recca, the Bellatrix Bombers turned to the very piracy they always fought against. Enraged, Boodikka left the Bombers, vowing one day to restore her sisters' honor and defeat Recca in battle. It was because of her fearlessness and indomitable will in battle that Chaselon of Bario III recruited her into the Green Lantern Corps!!
Okay, so I'll admit I may have goofed up on Boodikka, somewhat. I gave her purple skin and pink eyes instead of pink skin and purple eyes, but only that was because I was going off what her skin color was as an Alpha Lantern. Though I did decide to keep her original hair color from the comics/ Duck Dodgers cartoon, and I even let her keep parts of her costume she wore in the 90's comics. Thus, she is one of the sexier Green Lanterns, and she flaunts that to an advantage in battle against her male opponents, using the distractions she causes to catch them off guard.
She was one of the few Green Lanterns who trusted Hal Jordan early on in his career as a Green Lantern, even sympathizing with him when he told her that Sinestro was planning to betray the Guardians. As a result, she and Kilowog became his closest friends in the Corps, helping him fight off the Red Lantern Invasion, and the threat of the Manhunters and the Anti-Monitor. Later, she and fellow Green Lantern, Princess Iolande of Betrassus, and Carol Ferris of the Star Sapphires, were awarded with membership into the Justice League of America for helping Wonder Woman, Power Girl and Catwoman stop an all-female Injustice Gang led by a rogue Amazon from wiping out all men on Earth. She is the best friend of Hal Jordan, Iolande, Kilowog, former Red Lanterns Bleez and Razer, John Stewart and Tomar-Tu. On the Justice League, she has deep respect for Batman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman, as well as an old friend of Starfire. She even was sent, with Iolande, invitations to her and Nightwing's wedding in Gotham City. Boodikka has a warrior's pride, but can also be very feminine and wears skimpy revealing clothes that allow her to be agile in battle. Sometimes, when facing foes like Atrocitus or Arkillo, she prefers incorporating armor into her uniform too.

An all-female Injustice Gang led by a rogue Amazon? Aresia exists in your DC universe?

It is interesting that you mentioned Duck Dodgers in your description 
You did great with the choice of coloring here! Honestly I like how you gave her purple skin and pink eyes. They work well like that. I like how you drew her headpiece

Well that was technically her first animated debut, so I had to include that. It was alright. That episode with the Green Lantern crossover is my favorite one though.
I’m glad you think so! I gave her purple skin as a reference to when in the comics she became an Alpha Lantern. The headpiece was definitely inspired by the one she wore in the comics and in Green Lantern: First Flight.

She looks fine to me. The whole mixup with her skin and eye color is ok (I mean, in Green Lantern First Flight Iolande; who is confirmed as a background character; is animated with light pink skin instead of her darker more reddish skin from the comics). Changing her backstory to be a 180 flip of what she got in First Flight is good (that movie was good, but her character was unforgivably mishandled).

I’m glad you think so. I was going for more of her look and alignment for good in the comics. Although Iolande will have her darker reddish skin from the comics. I figured my take on her would still seemingly side with Sinestro, but instead of carrying out killing Hal and Kilowog, it was all an act the three of them came up with to have Sinestro unveil his plans. Plus I figured the Interceptor Crew could use more women aboard, hence why I planned to add Iolande and Carol to the crew as well,so that Aya isn’t the only female on board. Well that is before she went nuts and used the Anti-Monitor’s body for her own. Plus I wasn’t having Boodikka being converted into an Alpha Lantern. The surgery they underwent reminds me a lot of the Cybermen from Doctor Who, and those things gave me nightmares when I was 18. I sort of modeled her personality on the one of Ezra Scarlet from the anime, Fairy Tail.

Having her trick Sinestro with the others is a better outcome then the movie. Having Iolande and Carol being part of the Interceptor crew is good too. If you're adding Iolande next, I have an idea as to what her outfit could be modeled off of. In the comics, Iolande was usually seen wearing long gloves and leggings, so her outfit could could be similar to the one you gave to Toni Monetti/Argent. Something like that could fit Iolande's prideful personality; she would get to show off her body, yet still wear the long gloves and leggings that she likes.

On that we can definitely agree. Plus I figured she would be distrustful of Sinestro the moment he approached her with his plan. Boodikka has an anti-authority streak, yes, but she has a warrior’s pride and believed betraying the Corps would be dishonorable. I figured that since she had two brothers in the comics, one of them could still be alive and reign as king upon succeeding their father, Nol, allowing her to travel with the Interceptor Crew. Ragnar on the other hand would become a Red Lantern regardless.
Hmm...I may need a visual reference for the outfit you mentioned. Though in the comics she also wore a cape, which I was planning to add as well. As for her personality, I think she could be prideful, but also thinking about what is best for her people. We could though have her be a part of a love triangle Hal would find himself in between Iolande and Carol. A little nod to the kiss she gave him in GLTAS.

Well, since you said that she had a cape, you could use Kori/Starfire's outfit from the New 52 as a reference. Starfire The shoulder pad could be what Iolande attaches the cape to; the revealing top and bottom coverings would fit her personality (since she sometimes liked to show off to others in the comics). The reference for her gloves came from your version of Argent. Argent

Hmm, we could use Starfire’s New 52 costume for Iolande’s Green Lantern uniform. Considering that the only version of Iolande I know is from Green Lantern The Animated Series, I’ll have to read more of the comics to get to know her personality there, seeing as we could combine both her personalities from the comics and the cartoon into one. Perhaps we could also give her shoulder pads and gloves the same patterns from her uniform in GLTAS as well. Similarly, we would need a reason to justify why she chose that as her uniform, as well as more information on Betrassus, such as climate and unique geographical features. Though what are your thoughts on having her and Carol both being in love with Hal?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, if you're looking for info on Betrassus, in the comics, it was part temperate, and part tropical (similar to the climate of South America; tropical towards the north near the equator, and temperate in the south, which is nearer to Antartica). If the capitol of the planet was in the tropical zone, then Iolande and those in the capitol would wear less bulky clothing (similar to how ancient Egyptians wore thin garments to keep from getting too hot). Iolande being attracted to Hal is understandable, considering what he did for her people in GLTAS, though after Iolande learns of his relationship with Carol, she'd probably let go of her feelings for him.

Oh, so it would kind of be like Tamaran as well! Then in that case, having Iolande wear less bulky clothes makes perfect sense. Plus with her cape, it could also act as a coverup in case they visit planets with harsher attitudes towards female clothing. That seems understandable, given that in the cartoon, Betrassus has a society similar to Medieval Europe, but if it the culture and society of Betrassus are different in the comics, then alternatively, we could also have Iolande being fine with sharing Hal, if the societal norms of her planet could include nobles and even the king having more than one spouse. After all, we don’t know who Iolande’s mother was aside from the fact she was Queen of Betrassus for all we know.

A polyamorous relationship between Hal, Carol, and Iolande would be interesting. Carol would be miffed at the thought at first, but I'm sure she'd come to accept it; probably after she learns about Iolande's culture, where such things could be considered ok.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh no doubt about it, Carol would seriously be angry at first, as she would want Hal all for herself. Though given some girl time with Iolande, she’d gradually come to accept it. Of course Boodikka would just think Hal to be a sly dog for dating both his boss at his day job and an alien princess. I suppose we could even have Carol help Hal comfort Iolande when the Red Lanterns conquer Betrassus for Ragnar. I was thinking part of that would include him killing his and Iolande’s own father, the king to seize power. Stentar, their brother, though I was thinking would be in a diplomatic mission to Thanagar, so he would not be on Betrassus when the Red Lanterns invade.
