Getting back into the habit of drawing.

Well after much of a following she is gained, it's time to meet Lady Malmsteen's half-sisters and her friends.
Her dad isn't present since he's usually never seen. (Kinda like SnapTrap's mom.) and like Snappy's mom; only a portrait reveals what he looks like. (That's in another pic of mine.)

Each character has a reference to someone or something within their name, and what kind of animal they are in some cases. Minus the minor character cameos; although that one is setup as a joke.

The joke characters being cameos of the Escape Goat and Agent Kidd from the show. They are trapped in a cage and look very worried. They should be: because of who is standing right next to them.
This is Camilla Malmsteen, Lady Malmsteen's younger sister. Her name is derived from the fictional vampiress who always wore a mask. True to the character she wears a mask like the one she is holding: namely to protect her beautiful face from exposure to anything that can blemish it. The person who is next to her is her love: Chupe Cabra. And this is why Agent Kidd and Escape Goat look very concerned. Chupe Cabra is what his name entails: A chupacabra. (Literally translated as "goat sucker" in Spanish.) This my own take on a Hartman version of the urban beast from Mexico. Camilla herself was the result of her father mating with a chupacabra. Naturally she found one on her own. He looks quite stately for a goat sucking monster though huh?

Of course in the center is the lovely Lady Elizabeth Malmsteen herself. For those who haven't seen her wiki page she also has a reference to her first name. It is derived from the 16th century Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Bathory: who was rumored to have bathed in the blood of young women to maintain her age. Elizabeth Malmsteen uses essence of course and does so in a less gruesome fashion. Next to her is the most noted man in her entire life she once hated but then loved all above others: Dudley-turned-vampire "Count Dud-Ula." Of course his name refers to Count Dracula: easily the most famous vampire evar. ;D And well I gotta say; Dudley not only grew some as a vampire he actually looks rather handsome in that suit doesn't he? Yes some of his old habits didn't go away: like not wearing pants for example. And the reason his cape is too short is because he kept trying to chew his butt with the cape, thus ripping half of it off in the process. Nevertheless its clear Lady M loves this man now and Dud-Ula seems to return the favor....for now.

The last and youngest of Lady Malmsteen's sisters is her Chinese sister, Mina Malmsteen. Her name is derived from Mina Harker of Bram Stoker's Dracula. She was the result of her father mating with a Jiag Shi. They are known as 'Chinese hopping vampires' because of their unusual stance and habits. And in turn she has married a Jang Shi named Chong Sheen. A green rabbit no less. He's green due to his deathly appearance. Doesn't keep his spirits down though. As Mina is the youngest, she clearly dresses like it. Her boots are platform as opposed to Elizabeth and Camilla's high heeled boots. Her dress doesn't open either as it is more of a skirt. And she wears her hair in giant twin pigtails. (Modelled slightly after Blazblue's Rachel Alucard.)

BTW: Note how each sister's eyes are different colors. Camilla's is red, Elizabeth's is purple and Mina's are blue.

Both Camilla and Mina were also modelled after characters from the other two chows made by Butch Hartman: this was intentional. Camilla Malmsteen was modelled after Paulina from Danny Phantom. Mina was modelled after Trixie from Fairly Odd Parents. These are sort of tie ins to all three shows to make the references. Also both girls from those shows are the most popular in their respective schools. Their nationality being the same too: Camilla and Paulina are Spanish and Mina and Trixie Asian.


Now onto Lady M's "GHOUL-Friend!" (Get it? ;-3)

The mummified cat woman is Bastet; more commonly referred to as Bessy. She of course is named after the Egyptian goddess of happiness and fortune. Ironic given if you piss her off she can unleash the 9 plagues of Egypt on you. It's like Nuby who is supposed to be Anubis, essentially the Egyptian grim reaper. He doesn't seem to do his job well since he's too nice. And Bessy can be a real pain if she's crossed.

To her right from Japan is a spirit known as Ringu Suzuki. Ringu refers to the horror film she is from: The Ring. (That's how the title is pronounced in Japanese.) Her last name also comes from the last name of the author of the book 'The Ring.' The most interesting thing about her is that she used to run a video store, but when out of business after they switched to DVD. Quality control made it harder for her to upgrade when people died watching her vids. XD

The next character you may think has an evil twin next to her. They are in fact the same person. A Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde if you will. Hailing from Ireland is Jennifer McDu,llahan. She is in reality a banshee. That form next to her right is what she really looks like. Fair maiden one minute: screeching hell witch the next. Her nature and last name come from two portents of death from Irish folklore. If a banshee screams your name death is almost a certainty. Her last name McDullahan refers to the headless horseman of Ireland: Dullahan. If a dullahan splashes blood on your door: death is also a certainty.

Speaking of split personalities: how about two at once rather than just a transformation. Two sisters joined together from a result of a mad doctor in Germany. Meet the two totally different personalities of Trish Lexia (A pun of the psychological disorder: dislexia.) Two sisters: one happy, the other just an EMO. Can you tell which is which? Often times people wonder who makes the decisions. While the green side makes the more rational decisions, the lighter side sometimes makes hers too through a game of rock paper scissors. Of course both heads end up arguing with each other accusing each other of cheating since they share the same body. Accusations range from forced muscular movement from one side or forced though from the other.
BTW: The lighter side's name is trish, the green side is Lexia.

Finally is Lady M's youngest friend. (In appearance anyway.) The evil devil spawn goth kitten called 'Le Noir.' Named after the woman from Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Raven' naturally. Also the French term for 'The Dark.' And dark she is carrying dangerous old fashioned weapons and looking deep into your soul with a fixed seemingly hateful gaze. No one knows what she truly is thinking: and frankly its best they don't.
