Misfortune lurked around every corner, it had seemed, for each opportunity that Lindsey had taken up had resulted it in eventually crumbling around her. Her most recent had come to her as a great surprise, for it was something she had never expected to happen, even before she'd joined Naked Flame. The band had done well throughout the Don't Talk Rubbish! tour until the fourth song out of six at their fourth stop, when their griffon vocalist David suddenly lost his voice during a particularly intense moment of the song. They stopped performing, and they had to withdraw entirely when they realized that he couldn't speak. When they got to hospital, the doctors found that David had severely damaged his vocal chords due to a stint of heavy drinking, which forced him to leave the band, rendering them without the frontman they and their fans had come to know and love. Unfolding right in front of them was the darkest day in the band's history.

Nonetheless, it hadn't taken them long to find a replacement, despite their initial reluctance to do so, wanting to wait until David had recovered. But Lindsey, Hannah, Brad and Travis alike knew that David would never be able to perform again, and so did he. The auditions had seen their choice picked due to Brad having taken a shine to one in particular, who he'd stated as having wiped the floor with the others. Lindsey could barely wait as the new vocalist was chosen, and who would soon be introduced to the band. Would this spell the band's future, or entail their demise?

What we have here is the first official picture of one of my older characters, Lindsey, a sweet and elegant catgirl whose prowess as her band's rhythm guitarist has earned her a whole new recognition from the one she had known before. Made by Cappuccino as the 54th slot of her Iron Artist challenge, we see her smiling and showing her palm as though to welcome - who might the new vocalist be, you wonder? You'll find out very soon. ^_^ Brilliant work once again, Cappuccino!
