Jaguara is one of my early original characters for "Layer and Sword." She is an Amazon warrior —as beautiful as she is ruthless (hence her name)— who led her fellow warriors and practiced the darkest variation of their legendary custom of abducting men for mating: they would subsequently kill the men, as well as any offspring born male. Jaguara meets her end at the hands of Valentia —an Amazon and her former lover— who seeks revenge for the killing of the man she had fallen in love with and with whom she had eloped to raise their baby far away from their violent world.
