A couple of people have commented about Willow's pal Sandra, the brainy technomancer who appears in my stories "Many Happy Returns" and "Down the Well." The inspiration for this character comes from this panel in issue #19 of the Buffy Season 8 comics (Part Four of Time of Your Life):
(Written by Joss Whedon, art by Karl Moline)
There was also a similar-looking character on hand in No Future For You when they were opening a portal to pull Buffy back from Genevieve and Roden's clutches, so I associated her with portals and went from there.
Those very few of you who are following my "Down the Well" Tomb Raider crossover might be interested in seeing what these characters look like in the actual game, and maybe getting a sample of the interactions between them.
(There are spoilers below the cut for the Tomb Raider: Underworld game, so you might want to avoid if you haven't played the game but intend to do so...)
This is what Lara looks like these days...
In my story I've got her in her more traditional Tomb Raiding outfit, like this:
And this is her meeting a captive Natla (now a Scorpion Demon in my story, but who looked a lot different before...)
And finally, a video clip showing an encounter between Lara and Natla. They are interrupted by Lara's old friend, current enemy, and future (in my story) lover Amanda, accompanied by the Lara doppleganger (or Lara-bot, if you like.)
