Gemini Journey (webtoons mirror) is a Fantasy Webcomic by Yesenia Carrero and Tracy Maclauchlan, about titular heroine, Gemini, a Naïve Newcomer to the city of New Olypmia, a contemporary other-world of blended Mythical and Fantasy inspirations. Determined to make it on her own, she and her friends stumble through adventures that mix Fantasy themes with modern living.
From conquering insecurities while seeking a golden fleece jacket to surviving booby-trapped labyrinths at the local DMV, Gemini’s adventures ask the question: what if everyday life was a hero’s quest?
This comic provides examples of:
- Circus of Fear: The Great Barley & Bay-Lily Cricus arc features a creepy circus with ringmasters who are Fantastic Foxes.
- Fantastic Foxes: Barley and Bay-Lily from The Great Barley & Bay-Lily Cricus arc draw upon folklore and myth characterizations of foxes as sly and supernatural.
- The Fair Folk: Gemini Journey features an array of olde fairy tale and folklore inspired characters and plot lines, including fae.
- Naïve Newcomer: Titular character and previously over sheltered homeschooler Gemini Journey is new to the city of New Olympia and as such, naïve to its rules and dangers.
- World of Weirdness: The setting of Gemini Journey is a quirky contemporary melting pot of different mythological and fantasy themes. It costs a gold coin AND a virgin tear for a coffee, the dragons are a pest, and Suburban Decay's maSCAREa could use some work. Plus there's a giant eye in place of a sun and moon.
