OC ask game 11 for Charis? 🙌
11) What was your inspiration for your OC?
I pretty much just needed someone for Ephemer to bounce off of and contrast the emotional funk he was in. Originally, Charis was comic relief. Literally just a silly guy (gender neutral). Long story short, this contrast ended up turning into a reflection of Ephemer’s character, with Charis becoming his mirror character and someone he could connect with on a deeper level thanks to their similarities.
As I was developing him more in this way, I started taking inspiration from characters like Katara from a:tla, Astrid from httyd, Sarai from The Dragon Prince (do you see what these three have in common? :)), and Luz from The Owl House.
Design-wise, I pulled from a lot of characters!! Young Xehanort, Remus, Sora’s beta design, Haru from a:tla, Oscar from rwby, and even myself for her hair 😄
