Ahem-

I mean, they look kinda similar right?

guess what? i FINALLY had time to draw at least simple doodle with toga!

FINALLY, 13 hours and I'm doooone... The process was tough but the result is pretty satisfying. As I always say (I don't), if ya can't come up with a fan oc, you can insert some canon characters into your story instead 👌

And while I can share my lore... (some text and more pics below, text is google translated but I tried to edit this into something decent haha)

The story centers on one of the outstanding feudal families (the European influence in this setting is more pronounced).

Lore (raw, very raw): an alternative Russian Empire of the 18th-19th centuries, where the aristocracy seized power due to outstanding magical abilities.

The magic of the Ilyinsky family is one of the most unsettling in this regard, to the point of other families barely having any interaction with them. Since ancient times, there has been a traditional ritual in Ilyinka - each family in service must give the Ilyinskys one deceased person once every 100 years for eternal service in the estate (in fact, it only lasts until the death of the owner, so when the head of the family dies, an urgent cleaning and replacement of personnel is carried out in the estate).

Seeing a long-dead relative in the costume of a maid or a footman is not at all surprising for the locals. The magic of the aristocrat who rules here allows to 'revive' a voluntarily given body — it will behave plausibly and even retain parts of the personality of the deceased. You can recognize such a puppet by a faded eye — necessarily the left one. Each member of the Ilyinsky family also has this feature.

An example of such a connection are my main characters — Katie (the left one, some old peice if ya wanna see more of her) and 'Mistress' Ilyinsky (the tired gorgeous woman, a recent art yeah).

The old reference pic is so ya can understand the general aesthetics of the universe

Wearing black clothes is a sign of noble origin or service to a noble family btw

Reference pic yeah (Himiko looks pretty proud of herself and Ochaco is kinda judging us all, I like it :3)

Now to what Himiko does here – she is in the service of this family, but the case is unusual — often outsiders are not taken into service, but this exception was unexpected and pleasant. The foreigner who's died as a result of a mystical incident retained most of her character and magical powers and it let her save the connection with her cursed weapon — Ochako.

'Satellite' is a magical contract of the infamous Japanese Toga clan, from whose grip Himiko tried to escape by illegally making a deal with the soul of the deceased daughter of the Uraraka clan. The contract works on the principle of being a sacrifice — the weapon helps to quench the insatiable thirst for blood of the carrier, while receiving a semblance of a corporeal form (and imperceptibly shifting the master's moral orientation). If initially Himiko thirsted for blood out of pure lust for murder, now it has become a reflection of her love for the world and people in such a... particularly twisted manner.

With Himiko practically dead, the connection begins to fail, and she stays with the Ilyinskys not only out of lack of choice, but also out of a need to receive valuable help from the hands of unfriendly (or not) Russians.

Role in the plot — minor character-element of chaos.

Tarot card — Two of Pentacles, Page of Swords.

Ah, and a more lore-fitting version (the mask and the eye are IMPORTANT)

I finally got my hands on continuing my Toga Tarot series yayyy

Really wanted to go with more of a childlike drawing style with this one soooo

Ten of pentacles is about family, home and security, having people who accept you and enjoying comfort and stability

This card kept me thinking: What if someone reached before it was too late? What if someone could give Himiko the life she deserved?

"For the greater good? No, for my own good. For my own, and for ones I love as my family."

part 4/x
