(I'd love to put up a rhyme here, but I'm horrible at rhyming. However, feel free to suggest something!)

So, this is my first attempt on a OC-queen tapestry. Behold, Imago the Sorceress!

Childhood and teenage years:
- Her mother was Solaria the Monster Carver
- She was identified as a boy at birth, but since her early childhood, she identified herself as a girl
- Because of that, she tended to be more of an outsider and suffered from body dysphoria and depression
- Finally, her mother decided to create a spell to change her daughter's biological sex; from now on, she would be known as "Princess Imago"
- She inherited the wand at 14 and got really caught up in magical studies, which she found quite enjoyable
- Due to the spell her mother cast upon her, she had a delayed Mewberty when she was fifteen

Reign as Queen Imago:
- During her reign period as Queen Imago, monsters attempted to go to war against Mewni
- Shortly before one battle, the leader of the monsters mocked Queen Imago, saying "Mewmen must be real cowards, disguising as women during battle"; the wrath Queen Imago brought upon them was terrifying and would haunt the monsters even centuries later
- She earned her title "Imago the Sorceress" due to that incident; also, from now on, nobody would ever dare to call Queen Imago a man again
- Also, that incident made the monsters retreat, allowing her to build up Mewni again and even improve the life of the Mewmen
- From now on, her reign period was a period of peace and wealth
- She later married and had three kids, the oldest being Minerva the Crafter

That's all I have for her now.

(Honestly, I decided to create her because I hadn't seen any trans* Mewman Queen so far, so I wanted to change that. I hope i didn't fall into any tropes with her and that nobody feels offended. If you do, please tell me.)

Artistic comments:
- The red hair was actually a decision I made while scribbling the outlines for the hair (I used red lines for that). At first it was a darker cherry-red, but it didn't fit the color scheme of the whole picture, so I changed it. Brown eyes, because I really like brown eyes.
- Her cheekmarks are based on the Crest of Courage from Digimon. I asked a few friends about a symbol for bravery, strength and confidence and that's what popped up.
- Her color scheme is roughly based on the dawn in the background. At first, I wanted to give her a white dress, but it just seemed off to me, as well as giving her a purple (more sorceress-like) dress. I think the blue suits her quite well! Also, I gave her white stockings so people won't think she's naked underneith her dress.
- The size of her wand represents her confidence. The butterfly (which is the crystal) is a symbol for herself and becoming what she has been on the inside all along (like a caterpillar).
- I love how her facial expression turned out. She doesn't even bat an eye on the monsters in the corner, like "I've already slain hundreds of your kind this day, do you really think you can bring me down?".
- Hardest part of drawing this? The hands. It took my HOURS to even get one hand right, and the other just... didn't look nice, no matter what I tried. So I decided to hide her other arm behind her back. It's also basically saying "I can defeat you with one arm on my back".
- Her dress is based on dresses I saw on sorceresses (is that the plural?) when googling it to find a appropiate pose for her. I wanted it to be elegant and feminine, yet not girly or over-the-top feminine. At first I wanted to give her some armour as well (like shoulder plates and boots), but usually a sorceress wouldn't wear armor, because it would only slow her down.
