The Light

This is Bright, the first of the friends within the imaginary friends au and the one that represents Eclipse’s positive emotions (joy, love, happiness, etc.)

Despite them being the first one I have designed, they are not one of the first to appear in the au and when they do it takes a lot longer for Eclipse to accept them compared to the other friends—which believe me it will take awhile for him to accept them in general—, especially since he has not experienced any positivity in his life (both new and old) in awhile if ever and has become so far disconnected from such feelings.

(Bright’s childlike enthusiasm and happy energy also remind him of Lunar, or at least the memories of Lunar that remain after his recreation)

The Dark

Hyacinth (Cinth for short) is the manifestation of Eclipse’s not-so-positive emotions, the ones he keeps buried deep and never acknowledges like sadness, grief, and longing. Hyacinth’s very name is a testament to these deeply buried feelings and desires as the flowers symbolize the desire for forgiveness. Due to them being the representation of this, Cinth is very timid and melancholy, and at times emotional.

Black dog symbolism—and just dog symbolism in general—is the main inspiration behind Cinth’s overall design; dogs are social creatures who seek attention and affection though if they are not socialized correctly they can become unpredictable and dangerous.

While Eclipse has a hard time truly accepting Bright—as with most of the friends—their presence is easier to accept than Cinth’s, and unlike Bright, Eclipse refuses to acknowledge Cinth’s existence for awhile just as he refuses to acknowledge the existence of the feelings and desires Cinth represents.

True happiness for Eclipse is hard to believe and accept, but the grief for what has been lost and the longing for it to return is even harder to come to terms with for him.
