Yep, that's Felicity Stone of The Felicity Stone series, which I've been working on. Here's the thing: Felicity is freakishly tall for a girl and Rachel is rather short. All the other ways I've drawn my comic you couldn't really tell, but the newest format potrays the scale (not dragon, height) the most accurately.

Forgot to mention something last time: there's a skull sitting in Trent's office. This is actually a double reference. The first thing being The Dresden Files, which has a bit of influence on my book series. In it, the wizard Harry Dresden has a talking skull named Bob. (Dresden isn't a dragon, though.) So the skull was an homage to Bob from The Dresden Files since Trent is a wizard. The other thing is an unpublished comic strip of mine called The Elevator of Death or something like that. I don't publish it on Drunk Duck because I don't have time to run three webcomics. Anyway, the skull is in the shape of the main character's head of that. He's a Grim Reaper that runs an elevator…to HELL! I may post one of the comics one day so you guys can see it. It's kind of dark.

Anyway…thanks for the questions. Rachel has plenty to last for a while. If you want to send more, that's fine. Her e-mail address is askprofessorrachel@gmail.com.
