The video accompanying this project (turn the subtitles ON ^^)
Today, we're back to the cartoons specifically made to sell toys with the danish bricks'least known set : "LEGO Elves" !
Emily "Em" Jones
Age : 13 Strengths : intelligence, pragmatism, creativity Species : human Flaws : anxiety, clumsiness, shyness Skills : brings people together, finds solutions to problems, curious, solves puzzles easily Likes : music, reading, writing, drawing, nature Hates : R&B music, lazy plots, beans, showing her writings, being compared to her grandmother Power(s) : Love & Light
In my rewrite, Emily's grandmother is the author of a famous literary saga about a fantasy world with elves. Her granddaughter wants to follow her example, but suffers from the comparison and doesn't dare to actually show her writing. Especially since many people have already tried to use her to meet her grandmother. Dejected by her recent death, Emily gets isekai-ed in Elvendale, and understands that her grandmother had visited this world and had written it down so as not to forget (I haven't decided if she was one of the Five Sisters of Legend so no need to ask). Emily's arc will consist of emancipating herself from her grandmother's image and learning to assert her own identity; while helping her new comrades while searching a way to return to Earth.
Azari Firedancer
Age : 10 sparks (16 human years) Species : salamander Strengths : dancing, optimism, compassion Flaws : fear of heights, over-thinking, spite Skills : creates and controls fire on a small-to-medium scale, never feels cold, flexible and dexterous, good at relationships Likes : music, dancing, traveling, having fun, the spiciest foods possible Hates : cold dishes, heights, ghost stories, not being able to dance, people reckless with fire Power(s) : Fire
In my imaginary pitch, Azari would be a former member of a traveling troupe who eventually became independent and went her own way. She accompanies Emily in the hopes of learning more about Earth dances and sharing them with as many people as possible.
Farran Leafshade
Age : 20 buds (15 human years) Species : hamadryad Strengths : responsibility, giving, physical resilience Flaws : anxiety, mood swings, sound-sensitivity Skills : controls plant growth, communicates with plants, resilience, mushrooms-savyy Likes : nature, soft music, collecting geods, romances, petrichor Hates : loud noises, sand, meat scents, gambling, people disrespecting trees Power(s) : Forest
In my imaginary pitch, Farran would be teased by his compatriots because of his interest in geology. It's ultimately thanks to the group that he gains self-confidence and becomes more open about his interests.
Aira Windwhistler
Age : 50 breaths (14 human years) Species : sylphid Strengths : ingenious, quick, active Flaws : roughneckness, hyperfixation, sometimes unserious Skills : directs winds, flight, magi-ingeneering, heightened hearing Likes : inventing machines and gadgets, engeneering treatises, flying, rainbows, dramas Hates : smoke, having a cold, romances, poorly-thought machines, being yelled at Power(s) : Air
In my imaginary pitch, Aira would be a sylphid born without wings, unlike her compatriots. She still has her powers, but is considered disabled by the other sylphids. By spending time with her friends, she would gain confidence in her engineering talents and no longer let her people's standards prevent her from achieving her ambitions.
Naida Riverheart
Age : 34 drops (17 human years) Species : undine Strengths : confidence, wisdom, kindness Flaws : daydreaming, quietness, stubborness Skills : controls fresh water bodies (lakes, river, waterfalls), talks to water animals, purifies water, finds her path Likes : reading, seashell collecting, observing schools of fish, traveling, gambling Hates : losing, salt water, shallots, cons, animal abusers Power(s) : Fresh Water
In my imaginary pitch, Naida would be a rather comical gambler. You know, the kind who runs away from her creditors, runs midly innocent scams, and bets on her friends'fights. But she always intervenes just in time to save the day at the last moment.
