This’s my character I designed for our online D&D session we played tonight! She’s a lightfoot Halfling monk named Paela Greengrove. She was sent away by her parents for spiritual training after they noticed she had huge anger/violence issues. It didn’t work.
Amy’s character Lindal is her older brother, who’s a rogue! He was a bad influence.
Paela freaked her party members out tonight by mercy killing some hobgoblin orphans and a crazed gnoll. But that’s just how she rolls.
Josephine Baker, later known as ‘Bronze Venus’, ‘Black Pearl’ and ‘Créole Goddess’ was born in America in 1906 and later moved to France to become a singer, dancer, and actress. She was the first African-American woman to star in a major motion picture, and became famous worldwide.
Though she grew up as a maid in wealthy white households she eventually became an exotic dancer in France, famously appearing in next to no clothing, and became a French citizen in 1937.
Ernest Hemingway referred to Baker as ‘the most sensational woman anyone ever saw’ and she received approximately 1500 marriage proposals in her life time. She became a muse for Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, and Christian Dior. She had a variety of exotic pets including a cheetah named Chiquita, a chimpanzee named Ethel, a pig named Albert, a snake named Kiki, a goat, a parrot, parakeets, fish, three cats, and seven dogs.
When WWII broke out, Baker became a volunteer spy for France, and assisted the French Resistance by smuggling messages written in invisible ink on sheet music. She made great efforts to aid those in danger of enemy attack, sent Christmas presents to French soldiers, and smuggled information she gathered in Spain back to France by pinning notes containing the information on the inside of her underwear. She was awarded the Medal of Resistance with Rosette and later named a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour.
Baker also aided many civil rights movements by refusing to perform to segregated audiences and storming out of a club in Manhattan with actress Grace Kelly after she was refused service. She worked with the NAACP and spoke at a Washington march alongside Martin Luther King Jr. as the only official female speaker. Baker was actually asked by Martin Luther King Jr.’s widow to take his place as leader of the American Civil Rights Movement, but Baker declined on the grounds her twelve adopted children ‘were too young to lose their mother’.
Baker died in 1975, four days after her final show, attended by such names as Mick Jagger, Shirley Bassey, and Liza Minnelli.
Oh and she was queer and had a relationship with Frida Kahlo. All around badass.
So, turns out it’s an actual ad. Comparing it to the original, you can see it was a last minute thing because femShep’s face hasn’t been rendered with the same level of detail as dudeShep (plus Ashley instead of Kaiden as the sidekick, but I like her a lot more as a character anyway).
I honestly don’t recall seeing this at all last year. But who cares, because it’s just fucking fantastic Shep as she’s meant to be, kicking arse. Hopefully whatever ME4 turns out to be, the default main character will be female instead of yet another fucking vanilla dudebro.
Also, I love that the kid playing with the toy spaceship in the beginning is a girl.
