Kore

Her theme’s are luck, cycles and youthful energy. Her symbols are coins, corn, the Number Seven, flower buds and pomegranate. An aspect of Persephone before her marriage to Hades, this youthful Goddess motivates good fortune, zeal and a closer affinity to earth’s cycles during the coming months. Kore, whose name means ‘maiden’, is the youngest aspect of the triune Goddess. She was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, as beautiful as spring’s blossoms and as fragrant as its breezes. It was this beauty that inspired Hades to tempt her with a pomegranate, a symbol of eternal marriage. Because she ate the fruit, Persephone spends winter with Hades as his wife and returns to the earth in spring. -365 Goddess

So I was trying to make a 'maiden', so while keeping her curves, I toned them and the breast size down a bit to give her a bit of a 'teen' look~ Because she also represents the coming of spring, I attempted to make her shawl fade out into flowers and butterflies~ Under her armpit are coins attaching the fabric to her; another piece of symbolism~ I went way over my time limit on this one, so it is unfinished~ This is Kore, frolicking about with abandon... somewhere...~

The dress is referenced from a dress found on SecondLife Marketplace, but obviously I made some changes to it~ Still a part of that failed challenge~
