I haven't been present these past few streams all that much do being busy but thank you for this series. I am incredibly grateful for reinvigorating my love for umineko. I have done a lot of propaganda for the manga but for today, I wanted to make fanart of something i read recently. A forgery called A Letter to the Golden Witch. I implore many of the umineko community to read forgeries. They are often wonderful experiences that have so much love for the original source. And I recommend this one especially.

Watching these streams in the background have brought back my Umineko fixation, Bazingagirlmoment being my youtube alt. They have inspired me to try drawing again and start writing a forgery, especially with seeing all the wonderful OCs in the art corner. This is my Witch, Venus, although I wouldn't necessarily call her original since she is a fantasy counterpart of someone on the gameboard and who she is the main mystery of the game. I have created a few sprites for her as well as some mock ups of how it would look in-game. Here's some lore in the style of the Umineko character tips. Venus:

The Witch of Tragedy, considered to be extremely young compared to her fellow witches. 

It is technically a self-proclaimed title with no verification from any other Witch and as she is a notorious liar, many do not trust her claim. However, she is undoubtedly a Witch, which makes her peers speculate if her true domain relates to Lies or Deception. 

For how she became a witch is unknown. She alleges that she has served as a miko and reader to many powerful witches, gaining their titles through their recognition or by solving their game boards. However, her titles became distorted when she began to stray off the teachings she once followed, their original magic becoming unrecognisable in the process. As a result, she keeps all but one of her titles secret, only being known as the Witch of Tragedy. This story is again, unverifiable and many witches scoff at it as another lie of hers. 

Her supposed magical power apparently gives her the ability to make any event end in tragedy, guaranteeing it does not have a happy ending. She is apparently responsible for the sinking of Atlantis, the love between Romeo and Juliet, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, the Sphinx’s arrival in Thebes, and the death of Featherine Augustus Aurora. As the last event has not happened and will never happen, her so-called power has lost all credibility, especially since she has never shown her power in public. 

She likes reading and lying to others. 

She hates liars and happy endings.
