ROUND #228:: Thalestris, Queen of the Amazons



DESCRIPTION


Thalestris, Queen of the Amazons


The Amazones were the toughest female warriors in classical mythology. It is said they cut off or burnt out one breast to be able to use the bow more freely. Also there are rumors that once a year they would visit a neighbouring tribe. The male children that were born after these visits were sent back to the neighbouring tribe, whereas the girls were raised to become even stronger amazones. Thalestris was the leader and Queen of the Amazone tribe and some say she visited Alexander the Great and stayed with him for 13 days and nights, hoping he would give her a daughter.

Design Thalestris!


Keep in mind she is a fierce warrior, not “a hot chick with a sword”. Think of her weaponry and armour, and how she would wield it.
You are free to change the time period and setting, but the character has to be recognizable as the leader of the amazons.


Good luck!

Well this is my first successfully submitted CHOW XD
I didn't get as much done as I wanted, and obviously could have added color, but I have to call it done now. Just happy that I was finally able to bring a CHOW to finish, and on my birthday no less :)
Anyway, great work everyone, awesome job PxelSlayer, looks great.

C-H: My emperor, your people are impatient to know Why did you choose Thalestris to have a child? You would have all beautiful women of the Empire !
Alexander: "Listen... when a Lady who hunts boars with bare hands, ask ten or more nights behind you... try to say "No". So please, be indulgent when you will write my story"

"...and Our Great Queen, Thalestris, on espying her Dear Friend lain Dead upon the stones, did offer up to the heavens a most Remarkable Shout, and, knowing not what she did, did draw an arrow to bow, in Face of the Most Terrible armies to have marched for Ages Past, not yet to turn and flee; and further woe, as she did so her foot did catch in the blood of the slain one, causing those nearest to Cry her Name in warning; and even so she fell, casting the lone arrow into the Heavens, and such was her Righteous Fury that this same arrow was gifted with the Speed of Hermes and the Force of Zeus's Thunderbolts; and so did it find a Fatal mark in the heart of the Warlord Himself."

I felt like inventing a melodramatic legend to go with this one, considering I went off on more of a romantic character portrait than a realistic or historical one. Well, it was great fun anyway and this was an amazing round, big up to everyone who took part.

Society has crumbled and the world is reduced to scavenging and marauding. There is no better time for strong women to band together for survival. But they need a leader; no one knows her real name but they call her Thalestris. She collects the jaw bones of the men who underestimate her and her sisters. The Queen of the Amazons!
