The creation of this character is quite the story, because at first she started out as an orchid mantis. Then she was a lutino cockatiel for a long time. Finally I got the idea of making her an Archaeopteryx at which point she finally started to look like the character I had in mind.

Now, the little sketch series on the right... It would be quite out of character for Neil to be treating an opponent like that, but rule of funny applies. He has found the only way to get Annika to shut up. And Annika? Yeah, she's always like that.
