Also, she's carrying her soul outside her body
I never thought of it that way! I knew she made her Soulsword out of her soul, but I didn't think about how her soul was literally something she was hauling around outside herself. That's interesting.

Her character design really is the best. I first got interested in her because I kept seeing cool pictures of her on my Tumblr dash. The hotpants + boob window costume is a little odd, but I love the horn headpiece thing they added for Uncanny X-Men, and how Chris Bachalo draws her sword so it looks almost like a gigantic beam of light.

I want her to bond with Wanda Maximoff and rebuild a friendship with Kitty and more of her odd semi-friendship with Emma Frost. I want stories about her being the one people go to when they have problems of an occult nature that are not the kind they can bring to Dr Strange
YES these are things I want, too. (If you want to write this instead of FF fic, I would be SO THERE for that.)

Like, seriously, how does that feel like to have your soul outside yourself?

I don't like the boob window + bared midriff + hotpants combo, but the horn headpiece is amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing. (Tbh, I kind of want to design her a costume.) And yes, giant beam of light is perfect for a Soulsword!

(I have figured out a plot for this, so I'm writing you this story, fyi. Btw, are you up Dr Strange and Scarlet Witch as comics? Also, where is Illyana currently, do you know?)

She's really fun to imagine costumes for! I used to draw her a lot when I had more time (or really, more homework, because I mostly drew when I was procrastinating math :P ).

Yaaaaay I'm so excited! I have been reading the Scarlet Witch solo but I don't know a lot about Dr. Strange except he lives in a brownstone with like his servant/bff and fixes magical stuff. Illyana is in Extraordinary X-Men right now, but I dropped it after the first issue so I don't know what's going on in that book. I think the mutants are back to dying out and being feared and constantly blaming Scott for all their problems? :P

OMG SHOW ME

Illyana had a cameo in a recent Doctor Strange issue, is all. (Mostly I'm trying to see how much background on Happenings in the greater Marvel verse I might need to make explicit. We'll see how it turns out.)

Must be Wednesday.
