GEM OF A CHARACTER

Society is built up on people, each special and distinctive in their own ways, much like a precious jewel. Every person is a precious jewel, carrying a sparkle of their own, and each has their own strength to endure scandals and expectations, but as precious as a jewel can be, they can also be flawed with secrets.  For this task, choose a jewel that best represents your character. Are they sharp and brilliant, but endure all like a diamond, or maybe they are more like a sapphire, cool and composed? An opal has been known to change its colors; does your character relate by changing who they are depending on who they align themselves with? The choices are endless, but eager to see nonetheless.  Once you’ve chosen your gemstone, create a visual representation, which could be a mood board, collage, or graphic that captures the essence of your character and their chosen jewel with a little bit of information as to how it relates to your character. You could also include how such a gemstone is incorporated into their lives. Is it a family heirloom they secretly covet, something they wear to cement their position in society?

The Third Task | What if I'm the Monster? | Kit Thorne as...

..Jiangshi

The Jiangshi (僵屍 or 殭屍) is a Chinese vampire/zombie that's name translates to 'stiff corpse'. It is a horrific creature that usually hops along, and when it comes across a victim it will suck the life force out of them. Jiangshi were believed to once be people who died in a violent or unnatural way, or whose soul did not find rest at the time of death.

The origin of the legends about these terrifying creatures probably comes from the folkloric tradition of “traveling corpses”. In the past, the members of low-income families whose friends and/or relatives had died in distant places couldn’t afford to pay for the transfer fees of their dead. Therefore, they would instead hire Taoist priests to transport the corpses back home. The priests moved the corpses only at night and rang bells to warn off passing villagers.

Mohini (मोहिनी)

TASK 002: DIVINE REFLECTION

The symbol of the lyre represents art and poetry. Leon is a writer, that is his art. He has a reputation for being charming and sometimes even deceitful to take advantage of others and move up in his career. Orpheus is also a poet and a musician. While Orpheus’ story is more tragic, there are certainly parallels. Poets are depicted to joyous and celebrating their art. Orpheus is often depicted with a lyre, much how Leon is seen with his books or a pen. They both have traveled searching for their muse. Orpheus sought out his muse (lover) to rescue her. Leon is seeking out his muse, though he has not yet made his intentions clear. He has also used his skill of poetry and writing to survive in the world.

Ara Park as the Moon Rabbit (jade rabbit)

THETONHQ TASK: DIVINE REFLECTION

Princess Sophia Godwin is the picture of regality and a typical princess but with her father’s illness, her mother’s distance and running away (this last part isn’t known to those outside her family) has turned the princess sour. Her main motivations have twisted into chaos, in destroying what her mother and family love most but hidden behind the perfect smile.

Fighting between her own royal family is her aim, but Sophia has plans to bring the entire London High Society into turmoil with her own matchmaking and schemes. Sophia enjoys making little arguments big, but in an indirect way and will often refuse to take a side on an argument, just to see how things play out. Making trouble is Sophia’s specialty and she manages to make it wherever she goes.

Similar to the Golden Apple of Discord, Sophia wishes to choose her own diamond and have them outshine her majesty's chosen and if it destroys the queen’s choices in the process, well, Sophia is more than happy with that.
