A drawing I did last year with Viktoria (Miriam's alter) during the years she was a courtesan in Nuefrost. This was the longest period Viktoria was in control, triggered by them losing Cachusa to an ambush by Penumbra Hunters, that certain band led by Artenius Sanctum. Even though Viktoria had her revenge by destroying the hunter's village, she was unable to move on.
Having parted ways with Rema and Magnolia long before, Viktoria was on her own in a world where open persecution ended, but malice was ever present against her kind; the only professions a Penumbra woman could find was in the underworlds of the Huema cities, as a servant or prostitute.
It was not until she met the Count of Eldren, Reqa Ambrose, that her self-abandon began to wane. Not leaving the occupation immediately, Viktoria became a madame of her own brothel, garnering enough earnings to release the girls and women she had been with over the years.
The little dragonite in the picture is a pet she used to have named Dragomir. It was killed trying to protect her hovel while she was away, her panderer and his henchman come to repay her for breaking the rules for the other girls.
