Suzana Tate, my lovely Hallow of Gender I’ve been working on, and part of a pair! Her lovely other half is Mira Bukowski.

Text reads as:

Suzana is a being known as a Hallow: a type of lesser deity that is born naturally over the span of a person’s life due to their choices. They all serve a specific purpose but the nature of this varies from type to type. Suzana is a Hallow of Gender, she is a patron saint to those in conflict, her presence soothes- or inspires, depending on how she is needed.

Because of her nature, Suzana has no strong inclinations toward any gender or sexuality labels. Her presentation changes with her whims, which are capricious and grandiose.

She knows exactly who she is and what she wants, and this natural confidence does tend to bleed into a sense of entitlement and she can be overbearing in her surety and control.

Suzana spends most of her time doting on those of her flock; the people she most directly interacts with as a Hallow. Though she has only taken one person to become a Lovelock; which is an intimate and coveted position that binds a person to her. Suzana’s one and only Lovelock is Mira Bukowski.

So happy to be finally posting this, I’ve been working on reference sheets for these characters since November 😭 Introducing Mira Bukowski, of part of a pair, the other being Suzana Tate.

Text reads as:

Mira is a human working as a journalist and life advice columnist. He’s a rather lonely individual, too quick to push others away for the sake of staying in control. Despite being very charismatic, he is not particularly charming, though he makes up for it with his quick and easy intellect.  

Even in his free time he doesn’t stray far from his writing. He writes compulsively, churning out short stories of fiction and even dabbling in a romance novella or two, though he’d never admit it. The rest of his time is spent in the company of his pet rats; Poppy and Clover.

One awkward, terrible day, Mira meets a person named Suzana Tate. Specifically, he interviews her—though he’s hardly able to keep himself together. Mira has been questioning things about himself; identity and his place in the world, and this existential nightmare had started to bleed into his day. 

Fortunately for him, Suzana has a sense for the questioning, though not the best tact, as their first meeting was still strained at best. It took a few lunch dates, and then an introduction into Suzana’s life and some good old fashioned communication—but eventually they developed a strong friendship, and then a hesitant romance.
