The Wizard and her companions <3

presenting, all (i think) mantis texture variants, plus a look at the mantis model and a zaltanna turn around sheet!

each mantis calls at least two textures. as seen in the last image, one texture handles most of the body, and the other handles the scythe, feet, skirt, and antennae. some mantises, such as zaltanna, call three textures: the third being for a different colored scythe. the only exception to this is the shadow palace statue, which only has one texture

please click on the pictures to get a better look! <3

hey tell me about your wizard and Zaltanna 👀 (bc i love her and honestly do not hear enough fandom chatter about her)

send me an npc and i'll describe my wizard's relationship with them!

zaltanna the mirrormask if you have no shooters trust i am DEAD!

with amber: amber respects zaltanna more than like... anyone else on the planet, first and foremost. beyond that, the two of them really don't realize how similar they are, and how those similarities make them grow closer throughout khrysalis. i think amber has a sixth sense about zaltanna from the beginning because of this. she doesn't know exactly what it is she's up to, but she has a feeling that she isn't all she appears to be. that feeling is, of course, mutual- and the basis of their strong partnership.

when zaltanna is revealed to have been working for the fifth column, amber isn't surprised. all that realization does it catapult the two of them into further planning re: how to forge ahead. the two really don't get to talking about anything other than policy and strategy until bastion is reclaimed. as amber waits to find a way across the starfall sea, she does a lot of that waiting with zaltanna. with little else to do, they begin slowly trading facts about their lives, almost as currency, and get to know each other. amber learns about zaltanna's choice to defect from the umbra legion, while zaltanna learns about amber's journey throughout the other worlds that comprise the second arc.

the first time zaltanna expresses worry for her wellbeing, she's shocked- as she didn't think of herself as anything but a fellow soldier to her. amber isn't as hesitant to accept zaltanna as an actual friend when compared to other companions because of those aforementioned similarities. she can be herself around zaltanna, which doesn't drain the little energy she regularly has.

once khrysalis is saved, amber continues to vouch for zaltanna's abilities to king pyat, queen sabina, and powerful forces outside the world as well. just as she keeps in correspondence with other denizens of the world, she frequently writes zaltanna, and considers her one of her closest friends.

with genevieve: shockingly, zaltanna is one of the few people in the spiral that genevieve likes right off the bat. genevieve takes a lot of care in cultivating her cover as an umbra legion recruit and revels in the opportunities it gives her to battle the army from the inside. she also enjoys the irony of getting along with someone on the enemy's side, and halfheartedly laments about what a shame it'll be to have to take her down someday. zaltanna, who is suspicious of her status and hopeful that she can be trusted, recognizes her prowess not just as a fighter, but her cleverness. still, she knows vivi is someone who must have tabs kept on her.

that being said, genevieve is thrilled when zaltanna is revealed as an ally, and makes a lot of cheeky comments regarding how glad she is that she doesn't have to kill her. whereas zaltanna is a strategist, genevieve is a wildcard that enjoys stressing her out. still, zaltanna is one of the only people across the entire spiral that genevieve will take orders from without complaining. this is because, though she hates to admit it, zaltanna did fool her. never once did genevieve suspect that she was on the light's side.

and perhaps there is a not-so-carefully hidden part of genevieve that is just plain attracted to zaltanna. this is a boat she isn't afraid to rock, even though it doesn't end up going anywhere. she is quick to throw zaltanna's name around while in sardonyx for her own benefit, and enjoys giving wildly differing accounts of their relationship for her own amusement.

while khrysalis doesn't end up being a world that genevieve feels a real strong attachment to after saving it, she is very excited to see zaltanna again at the beginning of the karamelle arc, and insists that she come along with her and dyvim to defeat the cabal agents living there.

with primrose: a little section for prim because she's my baby. she is extremely intimidated by zaltanna. the only time her resolve as a spy infiltrating the umbra legion ever falters is when she's in zaltanna's presence. the council of light has to appear to her on many such occasions to tell her to KEEP IT TOGETHER!!!!! around zaltanna

she also... has a little baby hero crush on zaltanna. no one is happier to hear that she's on the light's side than prim, who immediately begins to tail her at any opportunity, doing a full 180 from the petrified fool she was before

so we all know that the prophecy in Wizard is actually part of a larger one made by Old Cob, and its not about morganthe

(like we all had the epiphany of being like "oh yea! "from the shadows i strike" is actually about old cob")

but i found this banger reddit post from a few years ago that recontextualizes some of the OTHER lines and yo. ITS SO COOL

"The Mirror will break- refers to Zaltanna the Mirrormask breaking her ties with the Umbra Legion and helping us defeat Morganthe

The Horn will call- refers to the horn used to call the Great Beast for us to cross the Starfall Sea

From the Shadows I strike- refers to Old Cob being released from the Black Hole and helping us fight through the Hive

And the skies will fall- refers to Morganthe’s death. She falls through space, and the dark skies/presence over Khrysalis fades."

YES!!!!!!!!!
