Methusa

Methusa, Voice of the Hammerlow, was eleven feet tall, a body like a furless, bipedal giraffe with white skin, a soft belly and a long luxurious neck. Her dense, pudgy thighs led to lengthy legs, ending with polished hooves, pinkish fetlocks trailing behind. She had three arms: two to her left and one at her right shoulder, a stump below, where the fourth once was. A long, thin tail sprawled from her rear, tipped with pink fur. Methusa's middle was plump and rounded, though it looked natural and well in proportion to her size. However, she did boast a large bust graced with black nipples, bound humbly in the white cloth that dressed her.

Methusa's head was giraffish, decorated with eight sharp ears, two sympathetic eyes of rose and long hair of pink and peach, trickling to the hips. This was a kind face adorned with loving taffy lips and lashes. Her skin was white, smooth and peppered with freckles of black ash, chiefly around her shoulders, buttocks, back, cheeks and nose.

Methusa's legs were cloaked in a long wjite dress, two cuts revealing each leg up to the hip. Next came a silvery belt, locking the robe tightly in place, causing the base of her belly to overhang, Her torso was tightly bound in white ribbons, forming a symmetrical pattern across her centre, her naked skin visible through gaps both little and large. Over her chest was a humble pelmet, crying silky frills, shielding her front from perusing eyes. Methusa's arms were bare to the shoulder.
