It is just a drawing! You are all hopeless flatterers, you know; I am humbled by it. But my thanks for the compliments regardless, and I shall nod my thanks once more to the brilliance of the artist who created such a masterpiece (for it really is).

As for the title... That, friends, is to be guessed.

Well what do you know, I was pretty close in my head (if that's close to how you look), though I had your hair at being slightly shorter, and the skin not so pale (though as it's you as a Vampire, I'll put it down to artistic licence :P )

Um, Cuddles, you do realise that Gözde has 2 meanings in Turkish, the more modern interpretation and the older Ottoman meaning. Now the Modern one fits nicely, the older one casts a whole new light on you :twisted:

Ah well, old or new, you'll always be Cuddles to me. :P

He's roleplaying; the 'Duchess of Zeon' is a Vampire. Colin or Cuddles can fill you in on the details.

Copy and paste the below into the Search bar of Google

"Gözde" "means"

In the first two hits you should find one message that holds the modern meaning, and a link to its use in the Ottoman Empire, for the older meaning. Happy hunting. :wink:
