to try hearkening back to the bit of elden ring lore that devyn worshipped the old tree / crucible & used its magic, i decided to make her a werewolf. specifically, a griffin -- as a chimera-like animal, i thought having this be a core part of who she was could be a cute way of recalling the image of the crucible. as well, it gave a tie in for worshipping lurue, who reigned over the realm of beasts, and the rest of her lore neatly fell into place from here.
her griffin form is inspired by greyjays / canada jays. i also refined her outfit further & am pretty much satisfied with this iteration -- it feels much more in character & unique.
