Oleathea Rattle: Protector of the Jungle

Nestled high atop trees that skimmed the sky, among bright-eyed creatures exists the greatly respected burrow of Oleathea Rattle.  Young and lively, Oleathea Rattle rules the jungle. Seeming to be your average woman was anything but the truth.  Oleathea possess impressive aides to protecting the vibrant forest.  Atop her head rested a coil of sleeping snakes- each blessed with a tool of communication.  The future, past and present; north, south, east and west; each tiny ant, energetic monkey, and soaring bird are each represented by a single slinky serpent. Oleathea is alerted upon immediate awareness of an emergency by each representing reptile.  Rejoiced among all for her overwhelming charm and power, Oleathea is known to take charge and make change.  In times of disaster- fire, downpour, and destruction, Oleathea’s persuasion puts an end to all madness.  But in the immediate instance, Oleathea rested, lying in a bed of lush leaves. Butterflies fluttered around the coil of snakes napping on her head.  Flowers bloomed.  Wind blew through an open window. For now there was peace, but Oleathea Rattle braced herself for the next mission to protect her home.

  1. The name is quite fantastic! I really like how this version of the story is slightly different than the other versions. I also love how the snakes are kind of a play on Spiderman's "spider-sense." I also really enjoy how four pictures were used for the background- it really suggests omnipotence on the hero's part.

  2. My favorite part of this image is the background cut into quadrants and the border! It really implies a universal feeling that she covers all!
