Shadowgirls

Someone's not a morning person, hehe.

I'm fairly sure that bird was some sort of evil parasitic entity. It's very reminiscent of the spider creature that's been haunting Becka this whole time, so the Shadowchild is probably just protecting her. I agree that she was either hiding herself from Moira or maybe had even been sealed up somehow (though that seems unlikely). I did find it odd that the Shadowchild never showed up to help Becka during all these mental attacks…

Actually, wasn't it mentioned in one of the previous chapters following the battle with Mother Hydra that the Shadowchild was out of commission for a bit? Maybe she's been recovering and is just now re-awakened. 

And looking at today, I'd say that the Shadowchild just… isn't a morning person.

Nice use of Becka and the panel edge to keep the comic rating down with naked shadowchild there, btw.

the "at last" from Wednesday may indicate that she was indeed somehow unable to get loose before and warn Becka about some of this stuff. Which she now will do, if she can get Becka to wake up and stay awake.

… after stopping the threat to her.

We've seen the Shadow Child exposed before. Where her anatomy would be an issue, she either has armor, or is without the anatomical detail that would trigger the issue.  Remember, not really biological, so without certain systems.  The rest is all probably Nodens' idea of aesthetics; after all, he expected to have to look at her fairly often for a few thousand years, and would also want his allies to be… inclined to aide her.
