mauvis was originally designed as a young adult (early twenties). her storyline was crafted from this age range as "present day." at this point, mauvis has already gone through some significant parts of her story arc and is now facing a new pivot in the plot. as i continued to process her storyline (as well as the story arcs for the other characters involved), i discovered a workable "origin story" that sparked excitement. i decided to reimagine mauvis at age 17, placing her at the age ripe for meeting key characters to bring her "present day" story to life.

crafting the younger version of mauvis came naturally. her charming, yet sassy demeanor was easy to capture in her facial expressions and poses. here, you can see her signature third eye, bright and ready to intuit in any situation.

the final character sheets showcase the completed character expressions, as well as the selected colors for the younger mauvis character.
