Her Secret Name "The Alp" page 7 slightly different hair. same Zöe. #story #fairytale #fantasy #queerartist #lgbtqia #noai #nogenai #madebyahuman

a loosely panelled comic page.

continued from the previous page... Grace, a young woman with a buzz cut and facial piercings, turns to Zöe, a small kabouter (that's a type of gnome for all us english speakers) who wears bows in her hair. Zöe had seemingly appeared in Grace's home out of thin air as this is one of her magical fae talents.

"it's three in the morning, Zöe" Grace tells her.

"i couldn't sleep" Zöe replies.

"your house is clear up the canyon" Grace tells her.

"i took a short cut" Zöe replies.

"Why are you here?" Grace asks.

"We're gonna go look for dragons in Druidia, r'ember?" Zöe retorts.

"not at three in the morning, we're not! and no, i don't remember." Grace says firmly.

"oh..." Zöe turns to look at a backpack and small suitcase that have both mysteriously appeared behind her, "i packed my bags and everything..."

alt-textra: for those who are new to Zöe she is a young-ish kabouter girl around 66 years old. that would be about eight or nine in human years so she is a child. her three magical talents are she is an uncanny lucky guesser but usually has no idea what those guesses mean, no lock or room can contain her tho you're likely never going to get rid of her once she shows up, and she knows lots of lore but is very forgetful.
