The @obikinzine is out in the wild now (mine just arrived and it's so beautiful!!) so I can share the piece I did for it! As a bonus it's reversible like a playing card :}

Winter is such an icon. she exists as a distant concept for 3 whole books, characters mentioning the Lunar princess here and there. the mentions increase in frequency because Jacin joins the crew and he obviously has a whole history with her, and Scarlet goes to Luna so we get to hear her voice a couple of times mostly to annoy Levana ("father would have given her to me" is so perfect). and then 5 minutes before the end of the penultimate book, there she finally is, on page, talking about "the walls are bleeding" and effortlessly tricking everyone around her and you can hear the applause and cheering from the audience bc the star has appeared and is ready to take her place among the leads. an ICON

These characters are ones who have a combined intelligence, ruthlessness, and willingness do do anything for their children's well-being (sometimes whether or not the child in question agrees...)
(If the character is unlikely to plan a coup because the person in charge at the time is mostly good, this is the bad or mediocre AU where it’s someone their child wants to depose)
*technically Huo Xiangnu is a grandmother but I’m still counting her
Write-ins, propaganda, and images are welcome!
