Fairy Lioness

This is a character from a French fairy tale called 'The Benevolent Frog'. Though initially described as a giantess, the fairytale goes on to call her 'The Fairy Lioness' and then continues to call her a fairy. She is described as wearing only a lion skin and a snakeskin to hold up her hair.

I tried to draw another thing from this fairytale, but I failed on account of being tired and it being difficult and i'll try again tomorrow because it's just TOO AWESOME/STUPID.

Anyway, this tale is great. I also like how it reinforces my view of fairies as they are in the Otherworlds. That's it fairytale, back me up XD

In VDBiF, this would be a lion changeling. Given her size, I'd say half-giant, half fairy. (There is actually a tale, Child Rowland, where, by the 'fee fi fo fum' rhyme he speaks, a fairy king seems to give himself away as a giant, but I digress). She turns herself into a lioness at several points in the story. Changeling cloak theory, GO.  In addition, there is a frog described as half fairy who has another kind of magical cloak without which she is nigh on powerless - a cap of roses. I'll probably have to draw the frog too.
Again, this fits with my 'changelings are half fairy and have stunted magic, hence the need for a cloak' thing I have goin' on.

Anyway have a half giant, half fairy, half naked lady.

Happy New Year!
