Plume is a fantasy/western adventure web comic written and illustrated by Kari Smith. The author gives us this synopsis of the story:
"Plume is a story set in the Old West about a girl named Vesper Grey and her supernatural companion, Corrick. On their quest to recover her father’s life work, they encounter new friends and new foes, and learn that The Wild West really does live up to its name."
The story started in mid 2011, and is now complete.
Tropes used in Plume include:
- Action Duo: If the numerous dead bodies surrounding the two in the first few pages are any indication.
- Adventurer Archaeologist: It seems Vesper's father is this.
- Ancient Artifact: Corrick himself.
- Arch Enemy: Aunt Agatha Murdock was Vesper’s first arch nemesis.
- Badass in a Nice Suit: Corrick’s got a pretty swanky outfit.
- Blood Knight: Vesper's "But God help me, killing is therapeutic."
- Evil Uncle: Aunt, actually. Also, not really evil, just strict.[context?]
- Glowing Eyes: Corrick’s eyes are always glowing, but they get special mention for his power moments.
- Hot Wings: The power granted by the Mask of the Seraphim, except sevenfold.
- Lady of Adventure: Vesper.
- Legacy of Service: Corrick has been bound to protect the wearer of the amulet for almost 600 years.
- Mask of Power: The Mask of the Seraphim.
- Open Says Me: Vesper enthusiastically kicks open a locked treasure chest.
- Tempting Fate: When this is done, the power of the amulet weakens.
- Touch of Death: Under no circumstances should Vesper touch Corrick’s skin. Apparently it’d be very painful for her.
- Weird West
- The Wild West: The setting for Plume.
