Name: Asclepias
Story: The Unborn Trilogy – Golden Dawn
Status: Servant (of sorts)
Yet another lady who’s just slightly off her rocker.
Okay, maybe a little more than slightly. (Hoy. I’ve a lot of insane people kicking around this story.)
I actually see her as this sweet thing who wants to protect her brothers just as much as Atropa did. Only, like so many of her sisters, she seeks a more physical way to stop them. Honestly, none of them seem to understand the power of a good, old-fashionedly frank talk.
I must’ve changed and rejected so many things in the background for this one. Somehow, a whole lot of axes just felt right, and I like how it sort of clashes with her name. Asclepias being the genus for milkweeds, which in turn was named after Asclepius, the Greek god of healing. Axes … healing … I guess it’d work in some cases. But then, hitting a great many things with an axe would pretty much lead to said things being irreparable.
