Happy 1st Birthday, Chi! · 10:19pm Apr 25th, 2017
On April 24, 2016, I introduced one of my very first OC's. And now that a years has passed, She's still one of the best things I've ever created.
Chi's history is actually quite interesting....she was actually a last minute decision I thought up. Since Kage had a companion, I wanted to give Nova one as well so as a working name, I thought of, well, Chi which means "to bring life".
Another interesting fact is that she wasn't going to be a wisp in the first place. She wemt through several changes, some that were so changed so quickly, I didn't even bother drawing them. The first was she was going to be a fairy instead of a wisp. As you can see, especially with Nova, I love Zelda. But I quickly tossed that since it sounded kinda silly. Next she was going to be a much older Chi who will act like Nova's "conscience" throughout the story but that also sounded silly so I tossed it but finally, after watching the movie Brave, I got the inspiration for her....
I'll make her a wisp!....that no one can hear.
Yep. Originally, only Nova was supposed to hear her and over the course of the story, the others would begin to hear her. Kinda like what The Mane Six did with Korra and Co. but it was quickly dismissed because it sounded so similar to what happened in B1. So I was stumped for awhile unitl finally, I just thought of making her a 17-year old girl with a Spunky, Adventurous, bubbly attitude....and one of the cutest things you'll ever see but don't tell her that last part.
Now as for the shapeshifting into a fox. It wasn't actually something I researched for, I discovered that later.
It was actually Star Fox Zero. A new game that was coming out around that time and I was on the rage for it. And fun fact: Shade as a wolf was actually based off Star Wolf.
So there you have it! Chi went through quite the changes but in the end, came out beautifully, both figuratively and literally. I can't wait to see what Maggie and Ginga will do with her in JOI and beyond.
Happy Birthday, My Little Wisp. Never change.
Sweet
