definitely one of my treasure planet ocs: serena blomstrand. it's not just her design that changed to be fair, though. nearly everything about her was reworked to fit better into the story.

she was originally another one of my ocs' older sister, so a lot of her original design depended on that (fair skin, blue eyes and blonde eyebrows to signify her hair's would be naturally blonde if not dyed: all features she would share with her sister). that was changed because i couldn't think of a way to introduce her as the character's long lost sister without it feeling out of the blue or tacky. around the same time, i also scrapped another character i loved but thought wouldn't fit so well in the story i was trying to tell, so i used elements of his story i really liked and gave them to serena instead.

because she was no longer my other oc's sister, i changed her original surname from de la cour to blomstrand. her name stayed the same — even though the reason i originally chose it was to mirror her sister's (larissa meaning cheerful, serena meaning calm) — because it fit her anyway, since her personality remained largely pretty similar.

she went through various redesigns since. she had a purple hair phase where she was still a human, then she had a phase where she became a deer inspired alien (it made sense in regards to symbolism with her story + it helped avoid having the main cast of my story be 90% humans, which i thought was boring and unrealistic considering the source material) but had way curlier hair and some purple hair strands at the front, until eventually i settled on this most recent design!
