Tilda from "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Amy Mebberson

I was surprised when I learned Amy was doing color commissions at NYCC, as I believed she only did those for pre-show commissions. I missed the chance to get something Thursday but thankfully Amy reopened her commission list at the show today.

Tilda is one of my all time favorite Disney characters, from the animated adaption of Sleepy Hollow they released alongside "The Wind in the Willows." She's one of Ichabod Crane's many female admirers, which means he uses her to get free food while he pines after Katrina Van Tassel and her daddy's fortune. Tilda's most memorable scene is during the Halloween party, where she dejectedly sits by herself because no one wants to dance with her. She seems happy when she thinks Brom Bones is interested, and he responds by CRINGING IN DISGUST like an asshole. Brom then decides to use Tilda by foisting her on Ichabod while they dance so he can get Katrina all to himself. But he sorely underestimates Tilda's eagerness because she refuses to let go when Brom offers to dance, and thankfully doesn't realize he's just using her. By the end of the evening, Brom is the one who gets embarrassed and not Tilda.

I love her design because while she's not gorgeous like Katrina, she's cute and she's happy. She's one of the few characters who can be considered good in the Sleepy Hollow short even if she is a little dumb.
