Bananach

"Always. In the end I always get my blood. One day it will be yours I wear like rouge."
~Bananach to Sorcha at the end of Fragile Eternity by Melissa Marr

Re-reading the Wicked Lovely series again because I haven't revisited it in a while and I really do love the books. Got inspired to try dolling Bananach, a raven haired fairy who is the physical embodiment of war and chaos. She is the twin sister of Sorcha, the embodiment of Reason. She's described as having a nose and mouth that are almost like a beak, black eyes and hair that looks like raven's feathers. Which was the challenge of this. I have no idea what her skin should look like; I have yet to find a description in three books, so I figured pale and corpsey.

Because of the modern setting, she is described as wearing military fatigues but I think that would have looked too jarring. And I wanted to practice shading skin.
