January Bwomp: Class Change

[DOWNLOAD IMAGES BELOW]

I had originally intended for the original piece to be this month's bwomp, but I felt like it didn't fit the criteria for a bwomp well enough. This is supposed to be a character getting bwomped, not a character getting dragonned. So instead, I've expanded on the concept, using Aqua.

Hidden beneath the sands of a distant desert land lies a dark and damp dungeon, soaked in the waters of a lost river. Many adventurers have traveled here, spurred by rumors of a valuable treasure protected by a mighty and crafty beast. However, none have yet to seize it, for in reality, the treasure does not exist. It is instead merely a cursed artifact--a trap laid out by the dungeon's ravenous master. By the time the would-be treasure hunters realize that they have been deceived, it is too late. They have already been taken by the curse and rendered helpless. Though many have fallen prey to the beast's schemes, none have escaped to tell the tale. Was this creature always so cruel, so cunning? Or was it once a kind soul--only now twisted and transformed by this accursed artifact?

Bloom's reality warping abilities can randomly alter canon, create new timelines, or even generate alternate universes. Which is all a pretentious way of saying she can be drawn wherever, however, whatever.
In this AU, I guess Aqua's a paladin, Aero's a fairy, Bloom is a dragon, and it's all one big, generic fantasy RPG. The belly dancer class is one of those joke-classes where the party member has no moves and horrible stats, but if they somehow survive a battle, you get +X% EXP. The cursed item at least provides some bonus stats over the base class, but I don't think that's gonna help Aqua much.
So, you're probably wondering what happened to Aqua after this? Well, she learned an important lesson about saving the game more often--especially before a boss.
