The video accompanying this project (turn the subtitles ON ^^)
Partially inspired by this post ^^
Like a lot of people, I was disapointed by Disney's "Wish", even more as I read more and more about what it could have been. So I try and comfort myself with my own version, partly inspired by @annymation's fanfic "Kingdom of Wishes".
Age : 18
Species : human
Wish(es) : becoming a storyteller; freeing Rosas and giving the wishes back to the people
Power(s) : her magical pen materialize her drawings
Age : 1 month
Species : baby goat
Wish(es) : protecting Asha and thanking her for taking care of him
Power(s) : on-demand human speech
In "Kingdom of Wishes" Asha's wish is to make other people happy and becoming a great artist. And even though I like this take, I'd like Asha to be a symbolic representation of people inspired by Disney productions into becoming artists (writers, filmmakers, ect) themselves. Hence why I would like her to be a storyteller with her drawings. And of course, she'd have her cute little romance with Najm (my starboy). And Valentino would be a cute baby goat actually helping Asha and being an actual funny emotional support for her, instead of being useless and unfunny.
Name : Najm (pronounce "n-ah-j-uh-m"; arabic for "star")
Age : 17 rotations (17 earth years)
Wish(es) : none (truly; becoming human)
Power(s) : communicating with animals/plants and giving them speech, growing plants, levitation, animal metamorphosis, influencing dreams, infusing his magic into objects, human camouflage, purificating corrupt wishes, empathy
@annymation had the excellent idea of making her starboy a 2D character evolving in a 3D world and being able to hide themselves has a 3D character with a off-animation, kinda like Hobie in "Across the Spider-verse". And while helping Asha, he'd became more and more engrossed by humanity up to wishing he'd be human himself. I find almost nothing to add, except that I wanted Najm to be a shapeshifter so here it is !
Name : King Magnifico of Rosas
Age : mid-50s
Species : human
Wish(es) : reign supreme with Amaya (truly; being needed)
Power(s) : levitation/fire/dark magic, materializing wishes and corrupting them
Name : Queen Amaya of Rosas
Age : early-50s
Species : human
Wish(es) : reign supreme with Magnifico (truly; being loved for herself)
Power(s) : alchemy, emotional manipulation
Name : Charo
Age : 2 years old
Species : eurasian lynx
Wish(es) : protecting his masters and eating Valentino
Power(s) : human-like intelligence
In "Kingdom of Wishes" Magnifico is the latest of a long line of magician royalty protecting Rosas and the Wishes and he poisoned his brother with the complicity of his evil wife Amaya. It's a great idea and all, but I wanted to stay simple and distinct enough so I got rid of the fratricide part and just made him the rotten apple of what was a rather decent batch. Other than that, they would be just like @annymation made them be.
