Mine was designed many years ago at the start of taking this comic book thing seriously. I originally imagined her as a Naomi Campbell-inspired statuesque black woman with Asian phenotypes, mainly just to do that pseudo-alien thing we often do with non-humans that we actually want to look human. I quickly just stuck with the stricter Naomi Campbell look, tall and regal, with her initial costume design basically remaining unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The braids were always a big part of her character with the ability to use them defensively in a very Doc Ock kind of way. Her energy discharges were always imagined to emit a crystalline sound like glass chimes. She was a sparkly hero before those were even a thing mainstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But character-wise I always imagined her as serious, intelligent when it comes to battle strategy and perceptive when it comes to relationships. But somewhat na\u00efve in the sense that this universe isn&#8217;t hers, she doesn&#8217;t remember what hers is exactly like, and so there is a sense of wonder in experiencing a world she has no subconscious context for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I originally wanted to call this book Crystal\/Crystella, highlighting a distinction between her secret identity and her superhero life. But as I developed the actual story, I found a secret identity wasn&#8217;t as relative to her core character as I had initially imagined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you&#8217;re wondering if she&#8217;s overpowered&#8230;100%. And those kinds of characters can be magnificent if you know what you&#8217;re doing with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class='pt-cv-wrapper'> <h3
