January Poll Piece - Elena Redesign

Added 2023-01-23 20:35:21 +0000 UTC

A bit delayed due to exceptional circumstances (again), so apologies for that... but here she is! A refresh of my one-off Scolipede lady, Elena. Expect to see more of her in the future!

Given this is a substantial glow-up, I've taken the time to completely revise her bio/backstory as well:

"In her youth, Elena was something of a runt. Short, shy, and mute. Those that didn't ignore her, saw fit to push her around-- something the small Venipede girl would simply tolerate, year after year. Clearly, nobody expected her to be as much of a late-bloomer as she was. As she grew through her teens into a proper adult Scolipede, she was towering above her peers. She wasn't just tall, but immensely strong, too. And as if raw power wasn't enough, her potent venom could knock even the toughest bully to the floor in seconds, leaving them a helpless, twitching mess.

This potential wasn't lost on her. Elena may have been quiet, but she was smart. She was patient. She had a good memory. She could hold a grudge.

The cost of revenge against her bullies was, of course, being expelled from college. This did not dissuade her, however. She fell in with a likeminded gang of ostracized youths, who have become like a second family to her. Acting as a sort-of "bodyguard" to the group, she is the muscle that backs their more... 'complicated' endeavors. Beneath her cold, stoic visage, however, Elena is remarkably loyal and kind to those she is close to; a side of her that is rarely seen by anyone outside the gang."

Someday, I'll get around to revealing the other members of this "gang" she is part of, too. (As if I needed MORE characters, right?)

Thanks to my generous patrons, this post has been made a public release! Thank you all so much for your support.

EDIT: I had a planned second part but I ultimately planned to scrap it due to how much extra work it was turning out to be. As recompense to my supporters, the next Elena piece I create will be made patron-exclusive for a time.
