Pic Description:	My interpretation of Dame Ragnille from Arthurian Legend. She was inedescribably ugly yet she saved Arthurs life by giving him an answer to her brother Gromer''s riddle of what women desire most. Her price was to wed one of the knights of King Arthurs court. Above all of them Sir Gawain spoke first and bravely, that he did not care if she looked like Beezelbub himself, that he would marry Ragnille and treat her as a noble and cherished wife all her days. The wedding was public and Guinivere and the other ladies of the court wept for poor Gawain and his plight due to Ragnille being both so hideous and mannerless at the feast. When he took his wife to bed and kissed her for the first time, Ragnille transformed from the hideous horror to the most beautiful maiden Gawain had ever seen. When he asked her how this could be, she told him she had been under the spell of her jealous stepmother and it took the noble heart of one such as he, who could see past her hideousness and treat her as true wife lifted her spell....She asked him if he would like her fair by day and foul by night or vice versa...His reply to her was that she was free to choose as she willed, which made her even happier because that was the answer to the riddle and her new loving husband was indeed wise...of all things women want they like freedom of choice most of all. Their 5 year marriage produced a fine son before she passed away, leaving Gawain with a broken heart and he would miss her all his days. Just goes to show you that you cant judge a book by its cover! Enjoy!

Very light. This is cool but she is different. This is really a good job. _______________ Two wrongs don't make a right.

Ragnille was under a spell and not a fairy of any sort....so I kept her skin its regular hue. if I could have found a longer snout with tusks it would have been perfect. More like a boars snout. But all in all, this turned out well...perhaps I may redo it with a reddish tone to her skin...like that of a boar in the future would be more true to some of the things Id read...But I am glad you liked it Kenny, thanks for the looksee! _______________ I am smiling.

Experimenting is the best and the outcome is always rewarding. She is fine the way she is. I just seen something else in her and got motivated into saying you might have something here that may change the scope some. But with those eyes she has a beauty about her anyway. _______________ Two wrongs don't make a right. But six left turns will get you around the block and back in the driveway again.

This was one of my favorite stories in Authurian Legend, I was just glad I could convey it this way! _______________ I am smiling.

I loved the celtic plaid as well Johnny it totally made the peice more realistic when used with the dna roma toga peices I downloaded from Runtime DNA. Although it is Vicky clothing it works well with Posette and it can be textured with whatever I see fit to use. Ahjah makes killer morphs and I have done more experimenting with the latter half of this peice which I am about to post. Thanks again for viewing I really appreciate it! _______________ I am smiling.
