Ralieh had a curse, and she had a gift. Which one was which was really based on the situation. One of them was that she'd been born with an overproductive mouth; her tongue continued growing far beyond where it should have, and she was constantly forced to drool or potentially drown on her own saliva. This alone led to difficulties as a child, both practically and socially. Her older brother was the source of the other curse or gift: he'd taken the problem as an opportunity to experiment on his sister under the excuse of trying to fix her problem. The result wasn't a fix but the gift of an additional ability. Her body would learn any fluid which Ralieh drank at least a decent amount of in one sitting, and afterwards she could choose to drool that fluid instead.

Ralieh, to her credit, adapted quite quickly to the new addition to her mouth's strange qualities. While drool still seemed to be the most acceptable thing to pour out of her own mouth among others, even if it soaked her shirts thoroughly, she'd frequently gulp back the majority of it as chocolate milk, or soda. Then, she began realizing the more mischievous applications from riskier imbibements (most of which her brother was responsible for provoking); licking walls to graffiti them with paint, licking other people's clothes to bleach away images she didn't like, defending herself with licks traced with a paralyzing agent. And as an adult...

...well, it's up to you to decide if the tongue's the curse...or if whatever new fluid she's licking onto you is.

While I am super pleased with the first image I got of Ralieh and Tantianar, there was always one detail missing from it: Ralieh's tongue. She's a strange character with a strange ability, but it's so incredibly flexible and fun that I really wanted to show it off! This tongue and amount of drool? Well, it's the minimum Ralieh's got. And she's not afraid to own it! Lots of love to GreedyGulo for absolutely acing the picture.
