Mandrake's Marque.

Mandrake is an interesting house, it is a companion house to Valerian in many ways, and specialises in the giving of pain. Yup, the S&M house :P (well, kind of). Its motto is "Yield all".

This one is a bit different to many of the others. Firstly, mandrake is one heck of a difficult plant to work with - thanks Jacqueline Carey! Mandrakes ... *sighs* *shakes head* And also, its a big marque. If mandrake people are to be able to give pain properly to their clients, they need to have experienced pain themselves. At least, I think so. Hence, the big marque and lots of shading.

I just noticed something. You have super powers. That is so cool. Can you fly?

yup, its a really weird plant to use as a symbol for people that like inflicting pain! But the author, bless her, didn't ever seem to put much thought into what plant was best for each house ...

Obviously, she needed to use an herbarium.

I've been waiting for this one!

...Luckily (and as usual), I am not disappointed.
