If there's one thing above all others that Jötnar Trolls care about, it's family. This is no less true of Hilde Johnston, a Felton Underground school teacher and the head of a very large, loving family of her own: Two husbands, three wives, and between them they have two adopted older children and ten of their own brood, with more extended family than they can shake a stick at. Hilde loves every member of her brood, no matter how they became part of the family; she lives for them, she works and strives to give them the best life they can in the Felton Underground.

This is no less true of her youngest, three-year-old Ingvar. He presently has the distinction of being the only child that Hilde has carried inside her (not to say he's the only child she's helped create - she is what's known as a Father-Mother in the Troll community, or, to put it simply, a fully functional Hermaphrodite). The little tyke has a special place in Hilde's heart, and he'll always be her little love. She wishes that he'd stay little forever... At the same time, she REALLY wants him to grow past the "grab the shiny things in mommy's nose and ears" phase.

This wonderful, lovely piece was made by  HardRockAngel, who did absolutely stunning work with one of my M.E.A. folks, Hilde, and her little boy Ingvar. Hoping that one day I'll be able to get art of Hilde and her entire immediate family - but that'll take a while (since we're talking 18 people goddamn, and that's a lot of money), but for now I'm rather happy with this bit of sweetness. Hilde is lovely, and that is the cutest little toddler. Look at that tiny tail and those little horn nubs! They're just the cutest, and I hope to get more art with the little man and his parents or siblings... Or maybe take a look into his future as an adult - he's sure to be a strapping young Troll. :3 Hope you all enjoy this. I'm gonna stop fawning over it and HR's work now to get other stuff done!
