Teasing at the "hands" of poisonous green miasma (some of which appears to be escaping from her disgarded shoe!)... no ordinary tormentors for our Machiavelle! With several portraits available now for study, I note a pair of unusual, ever-present aspects to our heroine: first, the tail of a longish belt... or perhaps an actual flesh-and-blood tail! Is it possibly that Machiavelle is not wholly human? Second, the distinctive marking at her throat. Tatooing, I presume; a stylized "M". I hope to see this more clearly in a facial close-up some day.
