Started and finished last night, this is my piece for this year's Transgender Day of Remembrance. It's a solemn day for this community, especially with such a hard year behind us. Not everyone has a voice or a platform, so this is to encourage you to mark this day however you see fit, so long as it is done with kindness and love for all. And not violent; that's the last thing we want, to keep this cycle going forever.

This is the first canon appearance of Embra Huntsman in Behind the Veil! Embra is classified as an elf, or the child of a genie and a human (in other words, a half-genie). She is herself trans and transformed into the girl she wanted to be. Yes, she mirrors a lot her counterpart in the stalled Shantae fanfiction I started years ago, but she is different in some ways; we'll learn more about her as her story comes to light, probably first in "Enter Embra."

But for now, know that she wields darkness. This flame she created absorbs the darkness around it, creating the glow we see. This Embra too knows a great deal about loss and striving to continue the legacy of the fallen, making her the perfect character for this.
