This map was made for Seer's essence challenge, on Lucy Pevensie from Narnia. Eventually I'm hoping to do all four of the Pevensies but I chose Lucy first just because there's something about her character. Her life is a pure love story with Narnia and with Aslan, and I wanted to try to capture that somehow in an essence map. Hopefully I succeeded

Hopefully you enjoyed it!
