Mouse Hunter (Patreon)

After a “Butch Fairies” zine’s shitty mods refused to provide basic accommodations for my friend Razz, I decided to draw my own fukken butch fairy.

This is Rhoda! She’s a bi-species (goblin mom, fairy dad, still happily married) sapphic lady. She lives in the attic of an old church in Ireland with a colony of brownies, going down amongst the pews at night to hunt mice for their fur. She’s also a very good seamstress and leather worker, and she trades her much sought after cloaks, boots and other garments for anything she needs (though she makes sure no one goes without a warm coat in the frigid Irish winters).

Details:

Her spear is a bodkin carved from whalebone. She traveled all the way to the coast to a mermaid port to trade for the bone (offering in exchange to cull the dock rat population which had been terrorizing the local pixies) and then took it back home to her bone-carver friend, who shaped it.

Her top is made from grape leaves, which are durable even when soaked with sweat and chafe less than leathers.

Her boots are made from mouse leather, with buttons of carved bone.

The bandaid is a knee brace.

The pelt around her waist looks ragged because it’s her working jacket, which sees a lot of action. The clothes she makes to sell are much nicer.

Her wings are too small and delicate to allow her to fly, but she can make a loud buzzing sound with them, which she sometimes uses to scare off things too big or numerous for her to hunt.

She eats a lot of mouse meat obviously but her favorite food is her mom’s pillbug pie.
