Description

For Greed, I wanted to go for a sleazy businesswoman sorta vibe. I feel like the worst examples of greed are scam artists the take advantage of people who don't know any better or, even worse, will kidnap and sell others just to make money. thatcreepyreading made a good video about despicable people like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIQYcB…

I gave her a snake-like appearance because another name for a scam artist is a "snake oil salesman" and gave her these grotesque golden arms to reference the story of King Midas. She's supposed to be reaching out to shake hands and "close the deal" with you, tricking you into touching her hand and turning you into gold. I also made her hair and outfit the colors of silver and gold since those have been the form of currency for ages and since those things are still sought after today.
