So this fun challenge is hosted every month by Gillian Adams on her "Battles, Dragons, and Swords of Adamant" blog. I thought it looked like a lot of fun, so I asked her if I could participate with a drawing since my costume supply is low. Well, I was never able to find the comment with my question so I assumed I hadn't published it. This morning on Gillian's blog, I saw that my blog was on the list of participants!!! So where that comment I asked went, I have no idea!
But without further ado, here is my entry in the "Characters in Costume Challenge - April Antagonists"
Lady Mordel
Lady Mordel is descended of a line of ancient kings and queens who once ruled over the alith land of Dormis. But long ago humans invaded the country engaging in savage battle with the aliths, resulting in the humans taking the throne.
That was hundreds of years ago, and aliths and humans now live in harmony. But Mordel has been raised in a family that has never forgotten their stolen throne...and never forgiven.
In a devious bid, Mordel enters the Dormis court and begins to charm everyone to her side. She marrys her greatest threat to keep him blind to her plots. Everything is going smoothly for Mordel--not even the birth of a daughter gets her off track.
And yet suddenly, Mordel's plans are discovered and she is banished from the kingdom. Or is she? Mordel waits in hiding for her revenge, and this time there will be no one to deny her the crown.
So there's your sneak-peak of one my works-in-progresses. This character is not in Moonscript, but her story does feature in the next project I will probably start after Moonscript!
Be sure to go over to Gillian's blog and check out her villain! Maybe next month, I'll be able to abide by the rules and dress up in a costume!

Ohhh, Hannah! This villainess looks very intriguing! I can't wait to hear more about her story; she's bad enough to be bad but sympathetic enough to be even scarier!
Yes, she's a bad one, all right. But I did enjoy pulling the sympathy card--right at her demise!
Beautiful picture, Hannah! Your artwork is lovely. So sorry it's taken me so long to get over here and see your villainess - I've been out of town for the past few days.
Mordel sounds fascinating! This definitely makes me want to learn more about her.
Whoops! I only now just realized I never replied to you, Gillian! Thank you very much!
