The Violet Daughter, the last of The Deathless, the last on the spectrum. By the time she was finished, I felt the story I had begun, what felt like years ago but was actually months, was finally complete and I had done all I could to represent a diverse family as much as I could I've been the outcast of a family before, and it's not a fun experience. But, away from that box, away from the fear, is freedom, freedom to be, to love to care. To be alive. That's what the Violet Daughter represents to me: the outcast, the unloved. The free. The stone that the builder refused. But the foundation of everything we know. The artist.
