Why Hedgehog for Lucas & Raccoons for Eliott?
"For Lucas, it was easy. He was tiny, had spiky hair, seemed vulnerable but not defenseless - it just made sense to us. It was still early in the process, though : later, we discovered that Axel’s hair grew A LOT. But he was already a hedgehog in our minds, and we’d already written the moment in episode 2 where Eliott touches his hair and find inspiration for his animal"
"For Eliott, I chose the raccoon. Raccoons are smart and curious. They look sweet, but they can be mischievous and unpredictable too. Their most developed sense is the touch. And even if raccoons can be tamed, they’re wild animals at heart. If they feel threatened, or if you don’t treat them properly, they’ll hurt or leave you. Plus, they wear a mask. And though there’s no scientific proof of that, some say that this mask helps them reduce glare, as the dark absorbs the light"
