🐍Medusa is back!🐍

It's been so long since I drew her, and I absolutely LOVE the new design. 💕💜💕

Update on her backstory: now it's a mixture of the two different origin stories from the "canon" mythology.

She was born a gorgon, but she was also the most loyal priestess of Athena. 🦉

She wears a headscarf to cover the base of her head. She lost a few of her snakes before she became Bronthea's priestess, but lost almost the rest when the temple fell. The scares left are incredibly sensitive.

She's the only one other than Bronthea (and her plot twist spy) who leaves the island. Though Medusa never physically leaves, only spiritually.

For those unaware, modern helenistic paganism recognizes her as a deity (not to be confused with a goddess), and many people worship, and or work with her.

Now that the temple is mostly empty, she takes time out of her day to help witches and practitioners with their magic.

Her job didn't change, only that now she's only Bronthea's right hand, but never was her high priestess (check the previous post of Bronthea for that).
