venus de milo in rise personal funtime mega self-indulgent visdev project part 3

gave her friends last time, and now parental figures a.k.a the ones who found her in the box of scarves and taught her the mystic arts
when I say I tried to not incorporate every bit of the accumulated ninja, ninja-related knowledge I have stored from the years 1994 to 2001... and yes I absolutely did make her surrogate parents tengu crow yokai.
Kept waffling on using the show’s take on mystic stuff and the type of mystic arts traditionally associated with ninja like kuji kiri, the godai and kuchiyose— not too worried though since I am struggling keeping this loose as this is meant to be an exercise in having fun designing and a time waster until Aug 5 which, I have to scream: THE TRAILER CAME OUT AND IT FRIED MY OUTER LAYER OF SKIN OFF, I AM AS EXFOLIATED AS I’VE EVER BEEN AND EVER WILL BE.  I AM READY TO FULLY ABSORB THE MOVIE LIKE THE FRESHLY PEELED KITCHEN SPONGE I AM.
join me next time where I explore whether Draxum or Big Mama is the better choice to bring Venus out of the Hidden City and into direct conflict contact with her brothers. (let’s face it, it’s Big Mama because I love the Finding Out Your Own Family Is The Enemy trope in wuxia/martial arts films [although fighting your ‘brother/sister’ isn’t usually the blood related kind but that’s an entirely different concept from wuxia/martial arts that I won’t get into in this post])
