"You want to know when I became this..monster? Oh, let me take you back, back to a small village with mindless fools. Men who treated a child with such brutality; women with enough viciousness to match a boar. It was an accident, but a well-deserved one. I heard their rumbling footsteps; soon, they too were in the temple.
Pandemonium seized the group of villagers, refusing to let go. Screams grated the air, grown men doubled upped and vomitted, women slumped to the crimson floor and wailed.
Such was the reaction to my hideous work.
For I was present and covered in the blood of their leader. So young was I. I didn't understand. Why were they screaming? This was the man who taught me to walk upon this path.
No matter. From then on, I became known as the Priestess of Darkness and Lonliness became my companion."

Ultimately, it's an unnamed priestess-like girl. Yesh, she's covered in blood. I started this way back in, what, September. Here it is, December and I finally took the lunge and completed it in a week's time.

0.o I really like the eyes. They were accidental, but whoa! You know what I mean? The hair gave me the most trouble. Hm..and some may notice that the blood is not identical with all three versions of the girl. Yes, I added the blood last, and so to each girl individually. The background was created with a PS7.0 shape. I copied and pasted the girl's form behind the "screen" into the different rectangles. The moon was also done this way. The butterflies? Well, there's no need to explain how: that's what my tutorial was for.

Some may wonder why this priestess is so dark. Well, it's the counterpart of 's version.

I wonder what would happen if they met.
