Teen Titans Revamp: Godiva

 My art roots trace back to Teen Titans, for those who knew me for that long. Long ago on one particular TT fansite there was an art thread where you can post your redesign versions of TT heroes/villains that never made it into the TV series, like Godiva, Mirage, Danny Chase, Minion etc. 

For those who don't know her, Godiva is a mysterious foe of the Titans: A vain beauty who claims to be the offspring of a Chinese prince and an African princess, Godiva is a mercenary who works on espionage, assassination and theft missions for whomever can pay her fee. Her base of operations is in the Swiss Alps.

The New Teen Titans first encountered Godiva in France after she kidnapped John and Cherie Chase, Danny Chase's parents. The Chases had information on a spy satellite that Godiva planned to steal and sell to the highest bidder. Danny eventually saved the Titans, but Godiva escaped. As a result of Danny's actions and his powers, he was allowed to stay with the Titans. It can be said that Godiva was responsible for bringing Danny and the Titans together.

Godiva is rather psychotic. She is unreliable and unstable, almost childlike in manner. Godiva is very self-absorbed; a video cameraman follows her everywhere, at her orders. Godiva stares into mirrors constantly, obsessed with her beauty.

Sometimes Godiva treats her encounters with the Titans as a game, even stealing kisses from Cyborg, which he cannot stand. She has an almost pathological need to be the center of attention. Despite her frivolous behavior, Godiva does have a knack for getting the job done and escaping unscathed.

Godiva is a health nut in every sense of the word. She has been known to shoot or "fire" (as in, throw a firebomb at) her employees for smoking or eating red meat. Her macabre sense of humor almost rivals the Joker in this respect.
