her clothing is inspired by this depiction of the king of loango in 17c

i will add more detail to her clothing (yet not too much just to spare my hands from drawing).. these are just concepts, after all

shes pretty chill. shes mentally quite young (physically as well, i suppose). shes kind of like a young leader, those children that govern at a really young age...

loango's somewhat hidden childishness, in order to look more mature and fit for a kingdom, would later pass down onto gabon and congo-brazzaville who absolutely dont know how to hide it obviously.

(technically that childishness would also pass onto drc, but she has way more influence from kingdom of kongo and her serious personality, so it cancels out.)

what i should NOT do when drawing her:

round face

squishy-looking

wide dress

too "wide" and fluffy pigtails

give her a small or a too big mouth
