Interesting development note: Butterfly Knight was drawn first, Gladia was next but unrelated, and then I paired them up

The earliest drawing of Lady Maria, aka the Butterfly Knight. Instead of a second sword, she carries a bag on her back.

The earliest drawing of Gladia. Not much different, but she does look a little tired.

The first drawing of Maria and Gladia as a pair. Gladia is behind Maria, attempting to adjust her posture.
Gladia: "You really need to loosen yourself up a little."

Lady Maria, the Butterfly Knight

... and her companion Gladia, the Holy Blade

Maria, Butterfly Knight, standing on a patch of grass and looking a little out of it. She's got grey eyes and her brown hair is a bit of a mess. She wears basic metal armor on top of a pink-ish inner layer. She wears gold bands on each arm above the elbow and dark grey gloves. On her right leg is a plain-looking metal boot that reaches up to her knee, but on her left is a completely different design- segmented, with a protruding knee guard in red- a prosthetic. At her left side is a sheathed sword with a black hilt, on her back is another in gold with a red jewel.

Maria enjoying a bath in a hot spring, alongside her companion Gladia. Maria is in good spirits, in the middle of telling Gladia a story of her past as her nude body soaks in the warmth. Not far behind her is her prosthetic leg. Gladia looks on, sword-like legs in the water as she sits on the edge, content that her friend is enjoying herself.

Maria mid-jump, both swords drawn. Older take on the design with both sword sheaths on her back.

Maria walking forward, covered in blood,with a large creature in the background, very dead. Next to her is Gladia, only partially taking form and looking a little ghostly. Maria holds her true body, the holy blade, in her hands. "I think we've earned ourselves a bath. Whaddya say, Glads?" "That would be lovely!"

Her power comes at a dire cost, a consequence of leaving her world behind.

A two panel comic featuring Maria and Gladia.
Panel 1: Maria and Gladia sit by a fire, surrounded by the dark of night. Maria is pouring a pot of hot water into a small bowl. Gladia observes. "If you don't mind me asking, what's that stuff you're always making? It doesn't seem pleasant." "It's medicine."
Panel 2: Maria looks down at the concoction in her hand. "It's a mix miners use to keep metal from leaching into their skin... It's not exactly what I need, but it'll keep my body from fighting itself for a while. I'd rather not lose another leg."

The first two panels of a five-panel comic, featuring Maria and Gladia.
Panel 1: Gladia looks at Maria with concern. Maria stands with her arms crossed, trying to choose her words. "Come on, help me understand what ails you. We're partners, aren't we?" "... I'll try my best to explain."
Panel 2: Split vertically. On the left, a shot of Maria's prosthetic leg. "So, my prosthetic leg here... Imagine that, but... inside of me." Right, Maria's right hand, making a gripping gesture. "Machinery runs through every inch of my body, and it's what gives me the power I have."

The next two panels of a 5-panel comic.
Panel 3: A shot of a modern pill bottle, resting on top of a written prescription. "Before I ended up here, there was medicine I had to take about once a week. It kept my body from seeing my enhancements as an outside threat. But here, without it... My body is constantly on the attack. With what I've been able to make here, I can slow it down, dull the pain... But I can't stop it. Eventually..."
Panel 4: Gladia, dejected. "...I see."

The final panel of a 5-panel comic.
Maria puts a hand on Gladia's shoulder. "I know you don't want to lose another partner. But I promise you... I'm not leaving your side any time soon.
