Meet the SCU team! Wendela is the team's 'special equipment consultant' and while she may seem like she's just drinking herbal tea and chatting with her pet rat, she has far more experience in the magical world than you'd think. One thing is for certain: Wendela is much more than she appears.

This was an interesting one. It’s a story done for ‘Femme Fatale Flashes’ and I wanted to do something that met the classic Femme Fatale criteria but did something different as well. I created Rachel, a gorgeous paraplegic serial killer whose trophies are photographs of her murder locations. 🩸📚 💙📚
