Backlogged art from a comic project I've been doing off-and-on for about a year now.

It's Ezzie! Everyone's big sister!

Daughter of Vanish Hill's resident new money and the local academic champion, Ezzie's a girl with a bright future but a sordid past.

Ezzie has spent much of her life alone; with her mother dead and her father a drunkard, her entire childhood was spent searching for a place to belong; She ran the full gamut of clubs at her school, pushed herself hard into academics, and even now lives as an amalgamation of mismatched cultures and hobbies.

She is a pro at feigning interest and appearing well read, when her real goal is just to be liked, though she is usually found out eventually. As such, she is easily bittered at even perceived rejection and is no stranger to resorting to fear tactics when seeking respect.

Ezzie is poor at masking her insecurities, especially whenever her teeth are involved, but she is quick to crush it down and put on a smile. If she shares a genuine interest in a topic, she can go back and forth for hours with anyone willing to listen, and will cherish those hours for the rest of her life.

Her father being former friends with the Crillys, Ezzie spent many years as Eli's babysitter, to the point she would refer to him as her little brother. The two were as close as actual siblings in their youth, though they seem rather estranged these days...

She is currently off at college in hopes of becoming a surgeon.
