Continuing the Archie Echidna characters redraw trend, here's a design for Aurora! A character that probably no one likes or cares about!
Had ideas for an Archie Sonic rewrite, and been redoing the lore and backstory stuff. I started taking notes but ended up mostly writing about Echidna history. Changed up the story of Enerjak, the Brotherhood of Guardians, the Dark Legion, and of course, Aurora. So I just felt like drawing her, and she came out soo good too! Also wanted more practice drawing echidnas. Might try to draw Enerjak/Dimitri soon-ish. Definitely gotta draw Julie-su at some point too.
There's a lot of other lore and backstory needed to tell Aurora's story, but the short version is that she was a prominent figure in Echidna history. After the destruction of the Echidna Empire (which would take up a whole post by itself), it was Aurora that gathered what remained of her people and lead them in rebuilding their society. She was hailed as a hero, a savior, a messiah, becoming the first female Guardian, and the first Matriarch of her people. Her name is still spoken in reverence many generations later.
Might do some lore dumps later if people are interested. Still gotta organize my thoughts and notes some more tho.
