Redesigning a Winglet - part 5/7

Happy Wednesday, as always! the victim of today is Cordelia!

This design is certainly more expressive than some of the other ones, but unfortunately this winglet already seems to have a lot of angry types. For the sake of the redesign, I thought it would be nice to completely revamp this character!

First, I decided to make her trans. Why? Doesn't matter. Second, I needed to replace the name 'Cordelia,' since that's my girlfriend's character... I looked at a few different fish species names, but decided on 'bigfin' after my favorite squid in the end. Since the bigfin squid is a deep sea creature, it seemed cool to give them deep sea attributes - but I thought about it some more and honestly there would be a lot of difficulties adjusting to life at jade mountain after being raised in such a high-pressure, low light environment. Deep-seawings are so cool, but putting them in jade mountain seems a little unethical.

Moving on - the biggest changes I made to Bigfin were definitely adding/removing some design elements, such as webs and markings (so like basic seawing features.) I also changed her expression! It now rests much more neutrally - I it could be interpreted as slightly serious or just observational, depending on the person. I was hoping to replace the angry personality with a more motivated/optimistic kind of demeanor. I imagine Bigfin is probably one of the more easygoing members of the winglet - not out of ignorance or naivety, but trust in her ability to navigate the challenges to come. She would get along best with Arrow-Arum and (surprisingly) Ficus, while thinking Startalon is too pessimistic and Saguaro is too... intense.

Bigfin would be a good teammate during stressful, quick situations - but her logic may sometimes be unhelpful in a longer, more strategic discussion. She has all the optimism and confidence in herself, but can sometimes lack in the planning needed to follow through...

Overall, she's an excellent addition to her winglet!

Beware the darkness of dragons Beware the stalker of dreams Beware the talons of power and fire Beware the one who is not what she seems

Something is coming to shake the earth Something is coming to scorch the ground Jade Mountain will fall beneath thunder and ice Unless the lost city of night can be found
