Capri and Donají won't really ever meet, as they're 500 years apart in time. I also think that Donají would be puzzled at why people like to eat ice. She is a big fan of ultra spicy food.
By the way, there's already a full illustration available you-know-where. It'll be posted in a couple weeks publicly, but if you want to see that, and other works earlier, you know where to go.

A collection of gentlemen with dubious pretensions.
I made these designs prior to the miniCodex of the other day. Some had already appeared, but others are completely new characters.
