mmoa_writes at 02:44pm on 17/05/2009 under art, fun, historical characters, historical writing, historyI have completely forgotten the link, but it was one of the link-of-a-links that came from a Racefail post, about historical P/CoCs that gave birth to this little nugget - The Queen of Morocco:
Apparently a real prostitute as mentioned in 'The Wandering Whore' (1660-1661). I decided not to make her actually Moroccan, as you can see, partly because I just wanted to draw afro hair in the fashionable do (and it goes really well. Actually tempted me to step away from the relaxer-which-never-works-anyway if only to grow it out and do it up like that. It'd be awesome for the steampunk parties) and also because it's totally an uber-exotic moniker.
Anyway, not to keep all the fun to myself, I envisioned her 'lady-in waiting' as a welsh country girl gone bad (for some reason I thought of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alagbon) but had no idea what to make of her apprentice. Probably just another London lass with too much time on her hands.
Not that it matters. I just read too much into things...!
