Here she is, finally: Trivelina!
And look! She lost her big smile already after one panel. How can it be?
There is a difference between Trivelina and Harlequin: Harlequin normal face is the happy one, so even when he doesn't feel anything in particular he smiles from ear to ear. Trivelina's normal face on the other hand is blank. She smiles only when she is happy, but she is happy a lot!

About this page: Personally I like panel three best.
Panel one is quite extreme, but it kind of had to be. When drawing groups of people I usually just draw silhouettes, but as Trivelina was shown in the foreground and il Capitano in the background the people in between them had to be visible too. And so I said to myself: Just do it! And I did it…

I am afraid to admit this page was drawn at my own desk at home. Still, more importantly than the page being draw in an exotic location is the page being drawn at all!

Well, now you know Trivelina's name, as well as her relation to il Capitano. At least part of it, but this page too has a sort of cliffhanger…
And it's gonna get nasty up ahead…
