Pick your poison—and become it. Whether you're a deadly plant, a venomous creature, a chemical hazard, or a walking, breathing embodiment of toxic desire, your look must scream danger.Draw inspiration from the most lethal flora - think belladonna purple or nightshade black, the deadly viper in acid green or yellow venom, or those deep, dangerous inner poisons like envy, lust for power, or manipulation. Anything that shimmers with malice, smells like ruin, or leaves others gasping for air should be your essence.
You are the risk they can't resist, the danger they never saw coming.
