"Do you know what a phoenix is, kupo? A brilliant beautiful bird that exists only to give its life for others, and then fall into ashes. My brother was one for me. Now, you shall become a phoenix too, so I can bring him back.
Burn for me, kupo. Burn. Burn like everything ELSE!"

So this is a rather...interesting pic. At one point during the "My Sword, My Clan" stories, there was a point where at least three other characters could have become the main villain. Since my best bro  jamescorck is a huge fan of my moogle OC Navarro, we entertained the idea of her as an AU villain for funsies.
And my god did he deliver, even going so far as to give her a gorgeous Artorias-style look that fits a villainous Navarro well for me. Thank you so much again for this amazing piece, bro!
