Stardust (2012):
Amy, born as a character named “Stardust”, started with a self-portrait character inspired by a dream I had back in 2012. I was in a “Little Prince” looking world, in space with a ton of little planets, and I was the princess of stars. In my dream, the day was taking over the night and the sun made the stars disappear and I had to stop it. I kept the basic ideas and wanted to make a sort of children story. Lü, who started as a simple star, was always called like that, my best friend at the time just became a big brother and his parents called their daughter Lu, I liked the name so I kept it. Allan came shortly after as a “Day Person” for Stardust to meet and understand how his people doesn’t really have control over the decisions of their ruler. (sta.sh/21u4x01e9vi4?edit=1)
This first sketch is what I suspect to be the very first depiction of who will become Amy.
Stardust (2012-2013):
I changed the world a bit to a more Steampunk like universe, with guns, airships, the little planets became floating isles. Stardust was gifted on the day of her birth by Lu, now a simple looking yellow light instead of a star. Stardust later decided that Lu meant she was promised to great achievements. So, she ran way, stole a soldier uniform and an airship to go and find a way to stop the war. I found it a boring since the steampunk universes were already a little over saturated by then.

Stardust, Lü and Allan.
Amely (2013-2014):
Changed the name for a more common and less “Mary-Sue sounding” one. I was still a bit attached to the steampunk concept so I kept parts of it. I changed the appearance of her people to give them a more fantastic look. I genuinely only wanted to make her look “more original”. Amy got a brother and was now a passionate fencing student. I went to a short phase when I wanted Amy’s people to be 10th century Russian inspired. Lu is now a strange humanoid being attached to a blue crystal. Amely also wears an orange crystal, like all her people, because of a curse that was put onto them. Their sun worshiping enemies put a curse on them centuries ago so the became extremely sensible to the sun light and their skin burns off if they are not wearing their orange crystal. But I scrapped it out because there were to many crystal things happening. (sta.sh/21joaw1q9jyi?edit=1)
Amelyn (2014-2015):
I discovered a real passion for the Vikings during my readings about Europe’s history, and the art, civilisation and culture they made and had during their last centuries just inspired me so much I had to change the inspiration for Amy’s country again. And it didn’t change since, I’m still a Viking lover. I had a “n” to her name, even if it doesn’t really exist, it sounded better to me. Lu’s appearance and concept didn’t change much. I add Amy’s large nose, because who doesn’t love unique noses <3
Amelyn (2015-Current)
I made her smoll! And bubblier I changed a bit the origin of her people, they are not just people with tails and big ears, they’re half-troll and half-human, doesn’t change much, but I liked it. I also changed her personality, I made her more optimistic, courageous and affectionate. Lü is now more fluid and can her appearance for a sort of light liquid.
