Hail!
This week’s comic is full of drama isn’t it? Just wanted to
say for the record that both womens’ problems aren’t completely solved this
week. They still have a long, long way to go. Needless to say both Sara and
Crystal have been profoundly changed by the people in their lives never giving
up on them. They’re ready to move on from being what Terra Nova wanted them to
be. That’s what this whole arc has been about. They’re no longer the daughters
of Terra Nova. They’re the daughters of Lady Liberty.
Stan and Andrea Whitefox raised the two from the age of
sixteen or so. Check the timeline for details! It was actually Andrea who gave
Crystal her middle name. The way I see it is Terra Nova’s birth certificate for
her was as cold as you can get. Her parents only gave her a first and last
name. There was also a clause in there which made them relinquish all rights to
the child after five years. Mary was Andrea’s mother’s name and Crystal had to
be adopted right away. So, they needed to create a new birth certificate with “Crystal
Mary Whitefox” on it and that’s how she got that full name. Sara on the other
hand had to deal with Elisabeth insisting on falsifying records and all that.
Both sets of blood parents are charmers aren’t they? Well, both Elisabeth and
Clive had better watch out. The Daughters of Liberty are coming!
Fast forward to this week’s comic and we have Crystal
looking for comfort and answers. A lot of people in her life screwed her over.
She knows her adoptive parents and brother wouldn’t hurt her. She just didn’t
feel human during this mess. So, I created a Peter Parker/Mary Jane style scene
for the two. Thankfully that couple is back together in the comics because I’d
be ranting about that right now. Haha! Sara’s scene is more akin to something
Black Widow or even Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) would deal with as she was
poked and prodded more than Crystal. In a way Crystal is a bit like Carol
Danvers then. I’ve tried to convey that Carol/Jess style relationship in the
comic and I hope I succeeded.
We’ll be seeing more of the Daughters of Liberty next week
as the mini-arc concludes! See you then!
