Old character concept I made a long time ago, drawn again suggested by Winded Cat Productions!

(For those looking for backstory, copied from the comments):

Willow's true essence is the lantern itself. She's an actual Will-o'-the-Wisp, and unavoidably leads travelers to their doom, whether she wants to or not. Her body is that of a lost girl she once befriended and tried to guide safely out of the forest, but it inevitably lead to a tragic end. She grieves the fact that she couldn't save her, nor can she stop taking on her appearance. She's always careful to never let anyone follow her lead now.

The spots are adorable.

Does anyone have a link to that old character concept? She looks really nice!

Winged Cat Productions

Omg! This was sooner than I thought! She looks lovely! Thank you for picking mine ^w^

Qwerty Programers

She looks amazing! I love it! Great job on the drawing Tom! :3

Jake Madden

"Lanturn" and not "Lantern"? I sense a story

DiDiDi-X

Wow, the remake version of this character looks amazing.

Shinobi Sparrow

I really love her expression, so adorable

deffinitelynobody

I'd love to see more of her. She always came across as a feline laura

DarthKeidran

She’s very cute. I really want to know what her role in the story was going to be now. Any chance we could get that tidbit Tom?

DarthKeidran

<b>@Thomas Fischbach</b> What would you guess the odds are that you can do an actual side comic about her, like <i>The Dragon Masquerade</i> or <i>Prank Pixie Panic</i> type of comic. I'd gladly double my pledge if it meant we could get that to happen. Otherwise, is there a chance we could get her in the actual comic at some point or another?

*boops her nose* Weeeeeeeeeeee I love her!

<b>@Winged Cat Productions</b> Is there any chance you can let me know how you tracked down this older sketch? I've been trying to figure out where to find some older sketches. Namely, there's a old sketch for an alternate universe that I want to find where it originated, but can only find on some sketchy AF sites.

DarthKeidran

Thanks for the info. That is a bit heartbreaking. She could use someone good in her life. I'm almost inclined to, armed with this info, think that the girl she was trying to help became feral at one point. Willow tried saving her by inhabiting her body briefly, which failed, leading to the caution you described. Now I really want to see her in comic or in a side comic. Perhaps that shows the tragedy unfurl, and eventually her finding peace with herself.

See below for her more in-depth backstory that Tom provided.

Kyle Kowalchuk

She needs at least a showing as a back ground character.

Markvincible

@thomas fischbach thats pretty depressing, I hope willow finds some peace in her life, I’d really like to see her happy.

CrRAR

Fascinating, that explains the persistent sullen, solemn feeling in her expressions. Hauntingly beautiful description.

jeffh4

Sounds like she needs to meet a Daring Do or Rainbow Dash Type A thrill-seeker personality. “Woohoo! Ah always wanted to wrestle a gator! Willow, yer more fun ya be around than a tornado in a pear orchard. Lead on!”

Okay... ow. My heart... I love her~

Remmus

What a cute spooks ^^

Ivory Sai'ee

could there be a way for Trace to break that curse :(

Habilon

so cute and I love the hair design!

ZenTheSynth

Why do I feel I need to see her in the comic?

CrRAR

@Tess Sai’ee Just pair her with an immortal <i>somebody</i>. Boom. Happily ever after achieved. :3

DarthKeidran

like, tom had a discord ages ago, or what?

steelabjur

Or someone who's perhaps too stubborn to admit they're lost to lead her away. "Oh, are you lost? Well follow me, I'll lead you out of here!" I sort of see someone like Red in the role.

This character looks great! Glad you didn't forget about her! :D

Greywolf

Is she a lioness? I had thought vixen until I saw the tail.

CrRAR

Oh right! All of Red's thinking is done by his sword anyway. You could say Red is actually his sword in that case.<br><br>Sword x Lantern = best ship

Travis9x

omg I love her. I really want to see her either in her own side-comic, or written into the main comic somehow. As suggested by others, maybe some of the main cast get lost in a forest, and Willow appears, wanting to help them, but afraid of causing more harm. But instead, the other characters end up helping HER!

Greywolf

Wonderful back story Tom. Sad, but very well thought out and I believe tha would make an amazing side comic even with it's sad inevitable conclusion.

Quite Possibly a Sombrero

Didn't know what a will-o'-the-Wisp was and now I know. What do I do with this information. That was so tragic.

Elvenhunter84

There are a bunch of unofficial Twokinds Discords. I dont remember where I saw this sketch ages ago, but it's more than likely on e621 with a source attached and everything

Glenn Sellers

In the face, she kind of looks like one of the tigress trio.

DarkWolfElite

Not gonna lie, I think I might like this character as much as King Adelaide!

Ordithus

She is adorable! Tragic backstory, wow. Always glad to see more of your other concepts

SCD

Willow Wisp: I could set the building on fire... (Office Space reference)

RagnaBlade

I wonder where this character would have fit in?

VC

Wh-wh-where’s my red stapler?

That is pretty sexy XD

DarthKeidran

<b>@deffinitelynobody</b> Oooh! 😲 I like!

Glenn Sellers

Cool. I love a good backstory of a character. I try to do that with my own characters, although most of the time, the backstory of my characters are written on the fly as someone asks me about the character.

Floridamermaid

Willow, Laura and Reni are my favorites.
