Drumroll✨ Ta-da, the second piece for the Sotavers art series!
I wasn't kidding and I'll be seriously drawing each version to make it easier and more convenient for me to create fan art of my OC.

Meet Sota's version of Blasphemos, a knight whose penance is Service to Others.
A little Lore, a girl from a noble family, knew from a young age that as a girl she had little choice but to become a tool in the hands of her family. That's why she went against it, becoming a knight and training in the art of combat (she hoped this path would scare off potential suitors). However, this didn't save her from a "political" marriage, as her mother dreamed of expanding power. Upon learning of this, Sota prayed to the divine "The Miracle" and asked to be "free as a bird." In return, the Miracle granted her wish in a peculiar way, distorting her body. She fled her family estate in shame, as it was subsequently destroyed and her family was also changed. Now she considers this punishment for trying to escape her duties and tries to atone for her guilt by undergoing the penance of service.
Sota appears to the protagonist in two different ways, depending on which ending the player chooses.
If it's the standard ending, this winged beast appears simply as the boss "Sota, the Church Gargoyle", but if it's the true ending, she can become a companion (and assist in battle).
Also, in the second case, she gives a quest that could lead the Penitent One to the homeland of her estate (out of shame, Sota doesn't accompany the player), but there he would meet the girl's father and brother.

Honestly, this a little part of lore; I'd love to go into more detail! Perhaps I'll make a separate lore post with all the details.
