Notes:
Lettie attempted to gouge out her right eye shortly after arriving at the carnival, horrified by what she'd done to her would be attacker on her first evening there. Arkady stopped her, but not before she had blinded herself permanently.
Lettie's left eye is reminiscent of a shark's, without white or colored iris; the whole thing is a dead, evil looking black that tends to make even supernatural creatures--although her curse cannot touch them--feel as if they're suffocating, drowning, staring into Tartarus itself.
With each victim Lettie takes (her mother, the man the coven sacrificed to Medusa when she was thirteen years old, and the man at the carnival), she loses a bit more of her humanity, and grows closer to the Gorgon. At present, she has the black eyes (from her mother), clawed talons on her feet (the sacrifice), and the beginnings of stony scales spreading across her back. As the monster grows stronger, it grows hungrier, and Lettie's fits of madness/rage grow more frequent, pushing her towards the day when she will, whether she wants to or not, take another victim.
UPDATE: Newly returned from Greece, Lettie now has talons on her hands, wings, and her hair has a tendency to move on its own.
