Rune! Mimir's mother is a competent sorceress who lives on the edge of the forest. They don't often venture in and usually go to the nearest town (George's Croft) for their supplies. She's a strong woman despite the mysterious loss of her husband when Mimir was very small. They moved to the cottage shortly after his disappearance.

When I started writing JoL I thought that it would be rather fun to give a cat a bath. So I added Rune Mimir's mother in to help force the little whelp in! I then rewrote the scene so Mimir would jump at the chance....

The entire scene is different now but uh..nevermind. No soapy water folks.. Rune is gentle and kind and and all round lovely character!.

1. Rune was one of those characters that when you made a design you dont want to change it...Im a firm believer in this
approach. Rebecca described Rune as a Cat with her hair tied back in a bun!....How on earth was I to do this?! Shes a short haired
Feline!! ^^ No persians here!!
So I gave her a decorative headcover. In this early design she had the same kind of eyes as Mimir did in his early stage.

2. As you can see I changed her eyes & gave her markings. Rebecca showed me images of Ancient Roman housewives for reference to their clothing....
I wanted a distictive look as well so I merged my look with the 'roman' look. As a result the look for the Promo turned out that way.

3.(FINAL DESIGN) I tweaked Runes eyes to be just like Mimirs final design & made the markings on the left side of her face...again as Mimir Does.
Hardly anything changed from Runes original design....It seemed just right.
