...who struck an iron wall until she shattered her hand.
She did not stop, though cracks spread through her bones.
She did not stop, though blood sprayed her eyes.
She did not stop until she shattered the wall.
"Survival is fury," she said.

And here it is, the picture that was my phone's main screen for three years, and the final evidence that yes, I did dive into the deep end of Exalted wholeheartedly, enough to take an existing OC with some supernatural stuff surrounding her, and basically flat out say "yeah, she's gonna turn into an Infernal."

This particular design for Kate is of her older, late 20s-early 30s, badass mom look. Certain aspects, like her actual anima banner appearance, have since been refined, but she's been a Slayer through and through since I first decided to make her one. The above quote is what the tattoo on Kate's left arm says, as well, and yes, it is taken straight from Exalted materials.

This is still one of my favorite pictures of her, just because it's been so iconic for so long to me. Only very recently have there been pics to supplant this one in its purpose of showing off her Malfean glory.
