Description
With the idea of me rewriting The Hero's Party, I had the idea of attempting to make these guys more major players within the story. Not sure if they'd have a huge role in the first book, although they did have a significant role the first time around, but definitely would be showing up quite a bit in later books.
So the original idea behind this group was me, for whatever reason, deciding to take very old RP characters and give them cameos/a bit part in The Hero's Party for shits and giggles that somehow evolved into a bigger part. Eternal Vow, in Olivia's future life, was this huge, famous Guild lead by these guys, but when she meets them after regressing, they're literally just starting out. Olivia befriends Izora because they're both archers, and Izora gives Olivia tips on how to improve.
Izora and Lodan (purple in the middle) are a couple, whereas Brennus (blue) is just sort of there. He doesn't mind them being cute and cuddly as long as they keep the PDA to a minimum. He's also not really a fighter, although he can hold his own if he has to. He's the strategist of the group.
I'm rather pleased with how these guys turned out! (I think I gave Brennus a ponytail because I wanted to see how he looked in it, and I figured he'd pull his hair back when fighting to keep it out of his way.) It is fun to revisit these guys, since they're story is kinda interesting, even though we never really did anything with it.

I still feel a bit nostalgic for these guys, even if this version is really more your take on them in the THP-verse, and also they're only a tiny cameo, all things considered lol. I still find it funny since Brennus was like the wuss of the group/had two left feet/couldn't fight if his life was at stake. I don't even remember what we had planned overall, if he would give up fighting and be a shopkeeper like his father or if he would figure out a technique that worked for him. You clearly went with the latter approach, but it is still funny to me on some level because I remember how terrible he used to be lol.
I think I had put his hair in a ponytail at some point, so it works for him.
I think it's funny you put Lodn in the middle too.I suppose in-universe he probably is the charismatic 'leader'/face of the grop, but Izora had way more screentime than him due to her bond with Livy.
Izora looks really pretty, too. I love her hair, it turns out super well, and I love the little strandsframing her face and adding some nice flow/movement to the hair. The bow looks wonderfully deadly too, she must have some serious arm strength to draw that.
It was a pleasant surprise to see these guys in THP and I'm glad they get a little something here, too!
