Description Mystery Solved! Some of you smarties have figured out my secret.

This obscure character is named Gloria Goldfinger. She's tall, slim and vain, and has a taste for expensive jewelry. Her hair colour changes often. She seems to be the brains of the group.

Gloria is from the Usborne Puzzle Adventures, a series of children's books that have a puzzle for you to solve on every page, as you progress though a mystery story that often (although not always) involves the theft of some ancient treasure. She's a member of the nefarious Dopple Gang, a ruthless bunch of crooks who like nothing better than uncovering artifacts whose locations have been unknown for hundreds of years - then making sure the locations remain unknown.

Thanks to everyone who took a guess at Gloria's origins, you were amazing!

Ohhhhhh my goodness! I own this exact book! Is this The Curse of the Lost Idol?

I apologize for commenting so late, but I recognized her crescent earrings from the thumbnail and the title just clicked something in my memory. xD

Why you would need to read a book titled Being Awesome for Beginners in your ID, now that's the real mystery. ;D ♥

It is! She's in one or two others, but The Curse of the Lost Idol is the best.

I'm just so happy somebody's actually read of one of these. T_T

Aw, g'wan.

Wow--this seems like it wa quite an interesting adventure that I missed today.

She's really awesome--I love how colorful she is on that plain white! You always find the most interesting things! (Like the video game piece you did a while back...very cool!)

Wow! Nice guesswork, guys!

I LOVE her dress, by the way. I think someone already said Jessica Rabbit, and I have to say that was the first thing I thought when I saw her.

Haha, Dopple Gang. Is their specialty impersonating people? That's funny.

Congrats! I was on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown. This was, indeed, a challenge. I'm glad someone finally got it, otherwise I think I would find myself in a bit of a predicament.

Phew, now that it's over...can't wait to see your feature!

chibipandora [2009-04-26 21:04:29 +0000 UTC]

My first guess was the Rescue Rangers, but I read through the comments so I know that isn't right. Is she from a "choose your own adventure" book?

She didn't look terribly shady when I first looked at her, but as I've started driving myself crazy trying to figure it out she's looking more and more down right evil.

Tell-Me-Lies In reply to chibipandora [2009-04-26 21:07:50 +0000 UTC]

No, not Rescue Rangers. Or Choose Your Own Adventure, but that's close!

I love both of those things. Fond childhood memories x150!

Nope, nope.

Nate the Great!! That's another obscure title I loved. I won a copy of Nate the Great and the Stolen Base in my library's summer reading program a hundred years ago and I read it over and over and over.

I'm at a loss of where she is from. So I don't really have any guesses.

However the drawing itself is fantastic, and a very interesting character to boot. What is it about those red dresses I love so much?!
