°°°ABOUT THE CHARACTER

Have you ever read Grimm Brothers' Snow White? 
Be careful, I don't mean 'have you ever seen Walt Disney's Snow white', I mean have you ever read the original 
German tale? Well, if not you should.

This Character is inspired by Grimm's Snowhite's Stempmother, an Envious and Vain woman who, blinded 
by her desire to appear even prettier than her stepdaughter, wants to kill a poor (?) little child.

Well to be honest I've got some other theories about her character and I don't think she's so bad, but
that's not the place where to discuss that.

I decided to call her Juno like the roman goddess, beacuse she was as vain as her and mainly because she had a Peacock
as a pet XD, the surname 'Von Erthal' is a German Surname, probably the one of a real countess who had a 
talking mirror...

Oh yeah in my mind she's not a queen, she's only a countess, so she's even more vain, because she
wants to look like a queen.

°°°ABOUT THE STYLE

The outfit design is basically a mix of Japanese, Chinese and Art Nouveau fashion.
I asked my contributors to inspire themselves to 20s and 30s fashion but I also tried 
to include a bit of Empire and Victorian Style.
I could list a bunch of famous authors who inspired our work, for example Ertè, Mucha, Klimt, 
Rackham and Beardsley; but I also have to thank some Modern Fashion designers; if you're smart
enough you will be able to find a John Galliano outfit XD (Well, if you don't... never mind!)
