[She props her elbows up on the piano and puts her face in her hands, smiling brightly against Yasu's visible interest.]
Oh, she's one of my OCs. Her name's Victoria. She's based off a statue from an art gallery.
[The headless woman shows up in different outfits throughout the sketchbook as Yasu flips through. There's a good variety of content throughout: Mary will have filled one page with careful studies of flowers, and another with fucking Junji Ito fanart doing its very best to emulate the grotesqueness of his style. She likes roses, butterflies, monkeys. Surrealism, horror. A woman crawls halfway out of a painting frame, hanging out by the waist, dragging the frame behind her. Round mannequin heads with the same unsettling black eyes and flat expressions on their red lips find themselves in all sorts of situations and environments. Blue dolls with raggedy black hair are generally friendly with each other and other characters, but always drawn unnervingly.]
Yeah, Victoria's thing is that she's, like, actually literally falling apart, but she can't really ask for help 'cause she doesn't have a mouth? So she's actually really really good at putting herself back together, and she likes to wear cute clothes because it distracts people from all the cracks and repairs.
[Most of the character designs appearing throughout are the sort you would expect a lowkey-weeb-y edgy sixteen-year-old with a probably unhealthy fascination with horror aesthetics, but one character ever-present throughout is a witch. She wears different gowns, and sometimes her long hair is put in pigtails, but is always seen in a pointed witch hat, butterflies all around her. Her poses are always elegant, powerful, confident.]
