The first of Ashlyne's new personal attendants/entourage, The Hard Candies.
Licorice is up first: Licorice is the tsundere goth girl friend of the group. She used to be a small time gun dealer who was selling small arms inside of Caecus territory. Ashlyne sent a warning down through an underling but Licorice and her boyfriend at the time were convinced the Caecus wouldn't bother them and they could fly under the radar. They were wrong, and while they were attempting to buy drugs, Ashlyne personally corrected their error. She killed the boyfriend and stabbed Licorice with a stinger. After the fact she decided that she might use the woman and took her back to her Hive where she proceeded to get her addicted to her venom. The horn and scales on the woman are a side effect of prolonged exposure to Ashlyne's venom.
Ashlyne now enjoys keeping Licorice around for the look on the woman's face when she decides to dress her up in extra girly wear.
