Description Sketch time!

I haven't sketched since the last time I worked out what Ballad would look like, so I decided to have a little fun. I was seeing how dramatic a pose I could come up with for Ballad, and still have her in character. So this is what I came up with. I enjoyed all the frayed hair parts, and the shaky lines. By the way, that squiggle above her head is a trill mark; it's an articulation in music used to indicate that a note is to be played by alternating between it and a nearby note quickly, giving it a frilly or tense sound. It usually goes above the note, hence why it's above Ballad's note-shaped head.

Now the question for you is: what do you think is behind her? Leave your ideas below!

That's a good guess! If you know her personality, you'll probably figure out what I was going for...

Music jokes make me happy. Even if I didn't know what the mark was at first.
Could it be... fast moving staccato notes that always make me people mess up?

I'm planning on making it a trend. Staccatos and accents would make good shock symbols!


Maaaaaaybe... I was thinking something more slobbery

Spiders are on her list of scary things, but there's something specific she's known for being scared of.
