@hoshizoralone let me explore her concept of an Elly equivalent in Future Redeemed to match with Matthew being Fei adjacent and I owe her my life for it I had SO much fun with this. my humble take ๐ซก
#my art#character design#xenoblade 3#future redeemed#xb3#xbc3#xenoblade 3 future redeemed#i'm not tagging this for xenogears that feels weird#but i can tag elly i guess??#elehayym van houten#elly xenogears#The Xb3 Elly Chronicles#was naming her basically sophia too on the nose? was giving her purple eyes mean? well#...hehe#came up with all of this lore on the spot when i'd finished the design so i hope it all makes sense enough??#i figure the vandham line leaves WAY before colony mu is founded / settles there so it's fine i just figure it's got a lot of good space#for a settlement of some sort#i did put a lot of thought into the personality beats and story but i can't really word any of it rn. design too. just trust me bro.#also matthew's last name being vandham means i can say sofiya vandham heitelink which is the closest we'll get to van houten without#just straight up being van houten and just being legally distinct in general#it is 1:25 AM and i've learned that waiting to post doesn't do much good so WOE! ELLYBLADE 3 BE UPON YE
