Description
I had just finished using the "Heroine Maker" to do another character from Dante's The Divine Comedy - though I don't know it's called that, there's nothing funny in it. The character I did is the ill-fated Francesca da Rimini, who for her crime of adultery (along with her lover Paolo) is to be forever swept away in a hurricane in Hell with all the others guilty of Lust. I sort of based her dress on this painting [link] . If you like, you guys can check my other leading ladies from books:

In answer to why The Divine Comedy has comedy in the Title-
The term comedy didn't originally mean a story that was humorous. It originally meant a story that was the opposite style of a tragedy, a tragedy being a story with a happy-ish beginning and a unhappy ending, while a comedy had an unhappy-ish beginning and had a happy ending.

It is! Of course I only have a edited, storybook version and "The Penguin Epics" selection of Dante's Inferno
