Fun fact about me: the character usually comes after the face! There are a couple of exceptions on this list, though.

Sophie was a product of actually wanting to use Kacey Rohl for someone but not having any real muse ideas. As she was my first character back, Kelly told me about the previous incarnation of her, Naomi, and I fell in love with the idea. Hilariously, Kacey's younger than Sophie's supposed to be.

Angelique was literally born from Carnival Row. I love Tamzin, that's one of my favorite shows right now (so much so I've rewatched if five times), and the character just kind of came together.

Lillian was the first of this Avery branch to come to mind, and I found Sarah perfect. She has this ideal blend of things I can't really put my finger on.

Naeva has gone through a PB change recently. Previously, I had Normani Kordei for her, who has very few workable images, and is actually not biracial, as Kat Graham - the PB for Naeva's elder sisters - is. When I decided to bring her back, I went looking for biracial PBs and found Ella Balinska. She hasn't been in many films, but she's also had somewhat of a modeling career. The only issue I've run into is finding gifs where she isn't handling a firearm, because she was in the new Charlie's Angels. xD A huge reason I chose her? She looks a lot like Kat. XD

Shona was initially conceived as just a redhead. I knew I wanted her to be a red. I had Isolda Dychauk down for her PB in my spreadsheet (I have a character spreadsheet, surprise!), but then I watched Bridgerton. And Penelope was perfect. Also curvy representation!

Vanessa was born from Emmy's portrayal of Christine. There's no denying it. That's why Vanessa's a soprano. xD
