- celeste instructs kaide and molly to bring an orange and two curtains (?) depict them in shadow to respect them.
- kaide shouldn't leave without packing but jadiel brews some solutions up for him [hedgewitch side comic]
- hades is glad he isn't out there alone
- molly's greatest weakness/(flaw?) that she's a shapeshifter who desperately wants to show her individualism where it most benefits her to hide behind masks (!!!!! lodestone!)
- upon reading yanlie's notes, he will ascend; giving up physical form to fully manipulate his energy
- only he has the full intelligence needed to perform something like this on a whim; wren is unwilling to make such a choice, yanlie is too closeminded
- mio is trying to protect vanessa because she can't see anything on the other side; she only realizes too late what vanessa needed protecting from

ruby - honestly idfk lol. they're very wholly original. there's a base character they originated from but my idea for them was only tangentially related to that character and honestly just an excuse for me to write this sort of character. you could argue annie carver gunnerkrigg court for being a girl with emotion-based fire powers and dissociation issues but their personalities and mannerisms are entirely different. daisy bcb design wise for the pretty curls and amber eyes and pearl motif? def a purehearted romantic like her too, but more like sandy in terms of personality and interests. kind of an amalgam, mostly a feeling.
celeste - snowman homestuck. that's honestly it. a very basic character frame that ive kind of painted a personality, thoughts, and feelings on top of that has turned into its own thing with its original form vaguely identifiable if you know what you're looking for.
vanessa - the oracle turret from portal two ? honestly . someone could easily say garnet but that was more happenstance than intentional mirroring. shared motifs with skykids from skycotl. vague subliminal childhood code lyoko symbolism? constructed from a childhood loving world of warcraft, dragons, and fantasy books.
kaide - actually an offshoot of hades's character where he got all domestic and constructed solar panels and became centered around the concept of the sun. my solarpunk son
mio - myyyy oldest oc! came up with her when i was 7. her main motif was wind/winter/snow, so her hair curls resemble a tornado, she's blue, and she's cold and painfully awkward. she is deeply rooted in when she was my shadowpriestess nelf main in WoW, and it's seen thru her powers (can elaborate if asked.)
lily - homura akemi pmmm (almost wrote pmdd and was like yeha🩵), annie gunnerkrigg court, and very importantly! like all of elfen lied. elfen lied sucks so bad. my inner edgelord thirteen year old fucking loves tortured pink haired anime girl kill a bunch of everyone with her super cool powers. such a self indulgence.
(unpresented characters below in case of spoilers)
dr weiss - the narrator from superliminal, blue peacock man from fucking whats the comic name by hot dog oh my god come back and fill this in, the most pathetic fucking dry ass brittle bird bone you can imagine crumbling into dust.
yanlie - another very original amalgamation. came from a base character but almost unidentifiable from that character in any stretch of the imagination. this kind of character honestly sucks because i cant go back and revisit source material for reinspiration! they are very near and dear to me.
dale - doc scratch/elias bouchard,
wren - unidentifiable from his base character, vague concepts from the beast of otgw, zimmy from gunnerkrigg court, the narrator from superliminal, and godhead pickle inspector.
