Members of the Forty Elephants

The Forty Elephants is an all women's crime gang that reaches from edge to edge across London through both connections and stationed personnel. They are led by 'Queen' Lucy Corbyn, also known as Cutthroat Lucy, as well as her spouses: Elsie, their financial manager, and Patrin, head of home security and management. Its members are briefly shown throughout the comic.

## Mattie

Mattie is the first of the Forty Elephants that we're introduced to. She can be assumed to deal with entrance security for Lucy's home base, as well as other general security related matters, as implied by her appearance in the now deleted first iteration of Chapter 10, page 17. Her design was posted as a portrait on Mx. Cotugno's Tumblr following Bleeding Heart's Kickstarter in 2015. It's not explicitly stated, but Mattie's design's first appearance and continued its presence in The Glass Scientist's run may have been part of the colloquial Cameo Tier of the Kickstarter.

Mattie has pale skin and long black hair in loose, wavy curls which she keeps tied back in a half ponytail. She wears goggles over her forehead, presumably to help keep her hair out of her face. In her first portrait, she has deep blue eyes, but her eyes are less visible in her canon comic appearances. She wears a high collared corseted purple gown with a fur shawl overtop. Her sleeves feature dark purple cuffs which cover the back of her hands up below her knuckles in a mix of both stiff button up and wrapped fabric. She also consistently has a white patch bandage on her cheek.

## Woman with an Eyepatch

This woman doesn't have a known name, but she's shown up twice throughout the comic: once during "Knives and Whiskey Time" behind Lucy, and once to let Lucy know that she had guests looking for Mr. Hyde. She can be assumed to work a similar security job to Mattie around Lucy's home, and likely has a (much) weaker alcohol tolerance than her boss.

She has tawny colored skin and auburn brown hair with swept curtain bangs, the length of it kept in loosely tied rag curls in low twin tails. She has one visible green eye, her left eye covered by a black eye patch. She can be seen wearing a blue violet ball gown with a bow in the center of her chest, and black choker with a pearl adornment in the center. In her second appearance though, she is wearing pearl earrings rather than any choker at all, and it's her right eye that bears the eyepatch.

## Rose

Rose is a character originally designed by Sophie Knowles, a cameo character that only shows up once (Chapter 9) in the current iteration of The Glass Scientists. She's implied to have a dutybound, if workaholic personality, and is seen at the Blackfog Bizarre on her day off, spent with Carol. She showed up once more in the original version of Chapter 10 page 17, but due to the later deletion of the basement panel, this second cameo no longer occurs.

Rose has fair, freckled skin, green eyes, and long blonde hair which she keeps tied back in a high ponytail. She has straight bangs with long side pieces to frame her face, and wears goggles atop her head. She wears a mainly black dress with deep purple accents, notably a high collared corset style neckpiece and the interior skirt of her dress, pinned high to show off high black boots or stockings.

## Carol

Carol is a character created by Faith Randolph, a cameo character which only appears once during Chapter 9. She's shown spending her day off with Rose, and reminds her not to take on work responsibilities while she's spending her break to assumedly shop and look around the Bizarre with a few other members of the Elephants. She's implied then to likely be friends with Rose, and have a casual, if slightly maternal disposition.

Carol has pale skin and long red curly hair which she wears loose down her back. She can be seen wearing an off the shoulder black gown, fitted with a smart corset, curtained drapery skirt, and gold accents around the neckline and top of the sleeves. She's also seen wearing a plain black choker and low heeled black boots.

## Betsy

Betsy, along with Tacy, is one of the girls assigned the task of chasing, wrestling, and escorting Hyde (at the cost of getting her hand bit, in Betsy's case) from the Blackfog Bizarre. She and Tacy also stay for tea at Lucy's house at her spouse's invitation once they've gotten him there.

Betsy has dark skin and dark brown or black coily hair which she wears brushed and tied back in an updo with side parted bangs over her forehead. She wears a long blue dress with a high stand collar, puff sleeves, and A line layered skirt. The dress features dark purple and darker blue details, such as the sleeves of her dress in purple, and the frills of her dress sleeves and skirt in blue. Beneath, she wears black low heeled boots.

## Tacy

Tacy accompanies Betsy in the escapades involving Edward Hyde and the Forty Elephants through Chapters 9 and 10. She bears a striking resemblance to the woman who appears under Lucy's heel in the Queen's first appearance at the end of Chapter 6, but it's unclear if they could be the same woman, as they have different hairstyles (their bangs differ, the woman has straight bangs over her forehead while Tacy has longer side swept bangs) and eye colors. They both, however, wear yellow, have olive skin tones, and have dark blonde hair done in very similar curled styles. They may be related in some way, or it may merely be coincidence.

Tacy is an olive skinned woman with green eyes and dark blonde hair, likely naturally straight with side swept bangs, styled in half up half down shoulder length rag curls. She's dressed in a relatively masculine fashion, her dress featuring a yellow waistcoat style top, complete with a white ruffled jabot and white long sleeved undershirt. Her dress' skirt seems to be made entirely of single layer drapery, pinned up to allow for easier movement and show off white bloomer style pants and brown button-up boots.

## Lottie

Lottie is a member of the Forty Elephants which no longer appears in the current version of The Glass Scientists. She appeared once in the original version of Chapter 10 page 17, but was later edited out, and has not made another appearance. She's noted as strong and generally relaxed. In a spin off story of Mx. Cotugno's, one which takes place in a sky pirates YA novel style setting, she is shipped with the TGS script version of Virginia Ito. The storyline of this spin off story, as well as any further character details, are at present unknown.

Lottie is a bespectacled woman with light brown skin and dark brown curly hair which she keeps loose down her back and draped over her shoulders. In her appearance, she is shown in masculine attire: a white collared dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a yellow vest overtop, and tight fit brown slacks tucked into folded dark brown/black buccaneer jackboots.
