For quite awhile, when Xipe Topec has shown up, he's had these two Handmaidens that flank him. You can see them do some nasty stuff in "Death Moth" #1-2, and they pop up wearing Bird Masks in the aliceislost back-up strip in "SDF" #2. They also have a cameo in TORC 100. The Vermin Angel on the Right Hand Side (the one wearing the "Flame" body) had an actual debut in an issue of "SDF: Pulp" (#2, maybe?) that kinda gave her a bit of an origin. The other one I just randomly drew in one day.
As far as Dust and Flame go, they just popped into my head as potential subordinates of the Death Moth. The both have Moth-themed names and outfits, and they have the alternate Ice and Fire motif that I'm a fan of (sorta like Los Super Hip Bros in HFSAC). Dust doesn't actually have Ice Powers, for the record, I just liked the look I gave her. Flame does have Fire Powers, and there's some other cool stuff she can do, which we will get to next issue.
Now all we need to find out is who is in that last Coffin...
