Gnilla The Regal

She’s available separately or as part of the Grimblewoods Collection Volume 2.

Casting about for ideas good enough for the Ladybug Masquerade Ball, Gnilla realized the best costume would be regal, would be magnificent, would be… to dress as Queen Dotty herself! Is it little bit cheeky? Probably, but the queen loves a good giggle.
