Hey, so from my understanding of Astra, is she based on the Mabipper we saw in Lost Legends?
She is! I got Journal 3, Lost Legends, and The Book Of Bill all at the same time about a week after finishing the show. I was not versed in the fandom pretty much at all, and upon seeing the design in the back of the page I made the assumption that it was both twins as one person, and not just Mabel taking Dippers role in the story. Upon learning what that actually was though, the idea of the two twins as one person stuck in my head and she sorta started existing from there!
Mabipper was indeed used as a reference when making Astra! Ironically enough, these final design colours were my last choice, simply to try and avoid the visual similarity to her, but it ended up being the best looking colour combo out of the options that I tried, so thats what we got!
