Avgust would resemble Windsong even more as an adult (my character aging analysis)
A thought came to me recently: What did Windsong look like as a child?
I'm no artist, but I can do analysis well, so I investigated using her current and younger pictures to go backwards to what she might have looked like. Here is a general illustration:
After looking at the Child Windsong that I drew, I suddenly realized that the face shape was very familiar! I compared it to Avgust, and it was a perfect match!
But I double-checked by investigating the growing-up patterns of characters designed by the same designer as Windsong to see if the growing pattern is the same as what I have deduced.
In the end, I was correct! There was a consistent pattern with the others and how they were portrayed as children. So this means that Windsong and Avgust have the same face shape.
There is also a good chance that his eye shape may actually develop further into the same eye shape as Windsong. My proof? The Eye Shape Indicator. Like investments, characters' eyes as children predict a certain trend of what their adult features would look like.
Child characters are usually given wider and squarisher eyes (with only little difference from each other). Both Windsong and his eyes are downturned (or what anime fans will call Tareme eyes). His current eyelashes are a very strong indicator that it would curve down eventually (considering the art style) and resemble the almond-like shape of Windsong's eyes.
For example, let's look at J and Willow:
Kid!Willow has a balanced focus on her eyes. Her lower lashes are straight with only a bit of a cat eye on the edges of her eyes. Her adult self has a squarish eye shape but with a sharp edge in her eye. Her upper eyelashes have evened out but is still a strong lash while her lower eyelashes have spread out and maintained a wispy quality.
Kid!J has one of the narrowest eye shapes of any kid character in Reverse 1999. He already has thick eyebrows. He also has a sharp eyeliner, just like Kid!Willow without added lashes. The adult J continues with this pattern, but everything just evens out.
Overall, I think it fits what I saw once, kinda like "9 months in my womb and yet you look like your stupid dad!" meme. When I first saw my sister play Farewell Rayashki, I thought that Windsong and Avgust were related because they looked similar to me. Upon further investigation, they would look more similar as he gets older.
Of course, I'm not saying that he would be Windsong's twin as an adult! He has other features, too. Up to now, I could not determine his nose shape because noses aren't usually drawn in detail in the Reverse 1999 style (so fan artists can go crazy and draw the noses instead).
His eyes are more greyish-blue and have a chance of becoming more blue as time passes. The most similar person I could compare his eye color to is Vila weirdly enough.
Of course, she is different since she is part Rusalka and he is regular folk, but I find it interesting, nonetheless.
