[ image: a drawing of peyton riley, aka the ventriloquist. peyton is wearing a red strapless dress with a slit in the skirt up to her upper thigh, revealing her legs and black boots as she sits on a typical comedian’s stool. she has matching red above-the-elbow gloves, and has one arm beside her and another laid across her lap. her upper chest and shoulders are speckled with healed gunshot wounds, and her face has a large sliced scar over the bridge of her nose. her covered eye has partially concealed scars that drop down from her hidden eye. she has her head tilted up as she smiles down at someone in front of her, off stage. scarface is clinging to her back, an arm around her neck and another under her arm, with his little legs kicking behind her. one of his eyes’ pupils is a plus sign, and the other a heart shape, giving him a harried, lovestruck look. behind her are bright yellow, orange, and blue drawings of cartoon explosions, each with a ‘KABOOM!’ written in the middle. the background is a flat grey color. ]
