Her initial character design draws inpiration from Star Wars, Avatar (both cartoon series) and a dash of Final Fantasy. With the original artsyle being based on the rounder character designs series like Gravity Falls and Star vs the Forces of evil. When I moved from the original animated version of her design to the current comic version, I added a bit of Legend of Zelda to the pool of inspiration, and going for a more angular artstyle, inspired by a slew of artists I follow.
For her personality, I have always liked the sort of stubborn and impulsive type characters with a heart of gold. Characters like Fullmetal Alchemist's Edward Elric for example, and this is my version of such a character.
The evolution of her design, starting with a first idea back in 2015, to the animated version in 2016, the comic version in 2020 and the design she will evolve into on her journey (sketch from 2022).
