Harlot Spotlight - Soffocaria Gattagrandi (Patreon)

Time to show of more new harlot art.  Soffocaria is a little… racier than some of the other harlot pin-ups.  Hopefully I won't get into trouble for it!

Soffocaria Gattagrandi is the rebellious one of The Sanctum of Strangulated Sighs.  She's at a lower rank than her power and ability merits because of a disdain for the rules of the Sanctum.  The Madam a least recognises that and doesn't throw her at the new entrants to the House.

Soffocaria's strength is also her weakness.  She specialised in using her pussy to smother men, but grew to like cunnilingus more than The Sanctum deems appropriate.  Within their order it is frowned upon to take too much pleasure from the 'holy' act of erotic asphyxiation.  Soffocaria wanting humans to give her pleasure by licking out her vagina is seen as a flaw and weakness.

Soffocaria does play up the rebel angle more than she actually is.  Unlike her sister, she's not been completely excommunicated from The Sanctum.  She also respects The Madam's rules enough that men can visit her and leave the room afterwards without The Buxom Lolibaba's assistance.  She is, as The Elegant Woman will tell the player, a bit of a poser in how much of a rebel she actually is.

She's still a bad girl.  Anyone turning down her request to lick her pussy is dealt with in a very quick and harsh manner.

And now the behind-scenes stuff covering the game mechanics and inspiration for the character.

Once the 'smotherbuses' coalesced into a distinct faction centred around smothering and erotic asphyxiation, I looked at covering all the various types.  Smothering with a vagina seemed perfect.  To differentiate from the facesitting of Assphyxia, I let Soffocaria's succubus nature allow her to do more things with her pussy than should be possible.

To get a man down there, she'd probably want them to perform cunnilingus on her.  That gave options for her back story and why she's a rebel.  It also gave the mechanics for the scenario.

Most of the smotherbuses check the CONSTITUTION stat, which in the HoHH setting determines how long the player character can hold their breath.  Soffocaria also insists on her visitors being good with their tongues.  This means she's going to care about the DEX stat as well.

Generally my plan was to have each faction care about a certain aspect of the player character, but for individual harlots to have additional requirements.  That way a player might have the right stats to favour a particular faction, but might have to avoid certain members of that faction to survive a run.

Because I don't want to railroad the player too much, I try to give them choices, even bad choices.  Refusing to lick her pussy will have Soffocaria instakill the player.  This is to distinguish her from the earlier round harlots.  Some of those give the player the option to leave early, without any risk.  Soffocaria's harsh punishment is to indicate the player has entered the middle tier, and easy early exits are no longer allowed.

You might have noticed I mentioned Soffocaria has a sister who was excommunicated from The Sanctum.  That is 'the forbidden smotherer'.  If all goes well (and it's going well at the moment), you'll be introduced to her later this week when I put v0.053 out.
