Hello! We've got a new build for Finding Color in the Ashes.

Hello!
This new build focuses on Deedra, the more vocal aspect of Lucy's Fracture. She's unique among the companions in that she's more an aspect of Lucy than anything else, and so shares her scenes with Lucy as well.
All of Lucy's animated scenes have a 3rd variant now including Deedra, and there are 5 new events...

Willow is the third optional companion character to join you at the Inn, though she may be the first you encounter. The Dryad will approach you while on patrol, and without any of the guile common to the Fae, ask for help in healing the forest.
There are many Fae in the forest who've already fallen victim to the Ashland...
