Before fully understanding the design of the character, I have already made it clear that they would be someone whose appearance has to show their resonance<\/em> with nature and its inhabitants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vision I have for the main character. Ethereal, mystical aura is what I wanted to achieve with her design. Some of the examples that I feel inspired by are Fantasia 2000 and Mavka: the Forest Song. Character Lauma from Genshin Impact has quite nice design as well, she is based off of Laum\u0117s from Eastern Baltic mythology, particularly Latvian and Lithuanian folklore.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Inspirations from media and mythology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spring Sprite is a benevolent force of life and creation. She loves the forest and its creatures, and is happy to bring spring every year. As a force of creation, she has a creative and artistic side<\/em>, seen when she forms a flower, has a second thought, and then turns it into a dazzling sight, and revitalises a barren tree with gorgeous blossoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on her surroundings, she can take on various forms and colors; in water\/ice\/rain form, she is blue, in natural form, which is her most commonly used form, she is green\/lighter green, and in ash form, she is dark gray. When she’s in ash form, there are more colors than one. When smoke is around, she is brown, when the fire is around, she is red, and after the forest is destroyed, she is cool gray.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"Mavka:<\/figure>
\n

Mavka or Nyavka is a type of female spirit in Ukrainian folklore and mythology. The Mavka is a long-haired “Soul of the Forest”<\/em>, typically depicted as a temptress figure who lures men to their deaths. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 2023 animated movie \u201cMavka: the Forest Song\u201d, Mavka has a very special bond with the animals<\/em> of the forest, who she protects and cares for deeply<\/em>. In return, they often help her when needed. Being the soul of the forest, she can feel their emotions and understand them when they communicate with her.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"Fairies<\/figure>

Laum\u0117 is a fairy-like woodland spirit, and guardian spirit of orphans in Eastern Baltic mythology or Yotvingian mythology. Originally a sky spirit, her compassion for human suffering brought her to earth to share our fate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laum\u0117s are the very oldest goddesses of\u00a0Lithuanian mythology. The image of these goddesses may have formed during the historical\u00a0Mesolithic period, just after the\u00a0Ice Age. Laum\u0117s could appear in the form of animals, as mares or as female goats, bears and dogs. Later, Laum\u0117s had an\u00a0anthropomorphic appearance: they usually had birds\u2019 claws for feet and appeared as women with the head or lower body of a female goat. Other forms included half-human\/half dog or half mare, similar to\u00a0centaurs. Like\u00a0cyclops, Laum\u0117s often had only one eye. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
