This is Elianna a total nerd. Effortlessly smart Elianna rather be good at friendship instead but her nativity, devastating social anxiety, and outdated wardrobe keeps getting in the way. She does enjoy making her pet frog’s clothes to avoid gym class. (Art by TriangularCabbage)

c. 1490 (MetMuseum)
"This woodcut & coffer are a very unusual survival of a print in its original context. Incredibly, 10 other impressions of this stencil-colored, mass-produced Nativity survive, all also in boxes"
