Well paint me giant eyes and call me a weeb…… some of the old concept sketches of Terra are still here.

The original fully-coloured green Witch Terra draw is still gone (I’m very sure younger me foolishly threw it out to literally burn along with so many other sketches and drawings, a book’s worth of drawings had been thrown out I know that for sure), but some of the other Terra outfit brainstorming sketches are still preserved. There’s no mistaking it; considering the distinct triangular head/jaw she had back when I was just starting to draw people, the fact I constantly drew every strand of hair on her head, these are definitely some of the old drawings of Terra.

I have no idea how they and some of these other sketches slipped by “The Old Sketch Purge” I had done so long ago, but, I’m glad they survived.

I love how Harriet falls for Riivar and at the same time finds part of her identity through Riivar; Basically she meets Riivar at a festival when both of them are teens (both’s hair changing from the child-fluff blonde to their adult colours of blue. So it’s almost like same hat meme but SAME HAIR!!!!). Basically they bump into each other and Riivar asks Harriet where the performace stage (or w/e they called) and Harriet points the way. It’s so brief but at that moment Harriet had enough time to register “she was kind of pretty…” and then later on finds out Riivar is a performer. It was Riivar’s debut show and she struck the hearts of so many girls/women… including Harriet who falls head over heels, both in view as a role model / idol / crush. Harriet through watching Riivar grows more dramatic, grows more to flirt with women more often, sometimes even trying to mimic Riivar’s infamous charisma (and failing at mimicking it). She probably even has a framed picture/poster or something of Riivar in her ship captain’s quarters.

Riivar probably doesn’t remember Harriet from that day but Harriet probably/definitely would never forget such a day.
