Character Design
I initially designed my original character, Cassandra O’pier, as a play on the femme fatale antagonist trope who uses authority to reach her own goals. As her name suggests, a lot of initial inspiration, including the design of her sword, was heavily inspired by the constellation of Cassiopeia. However, over time, I saw this charatcer as more of a rival for the story’s main character. Ideally, I wanted her to go through a redemption arc after experiencing a defeat based on her. One of my favourite elements I developed was her striking colour scheme, which reflected her aggressive attitude.
