[prijune]

DID SOMEONE SAY "OCS"?!?!?!?!?!?!

@12am-motivation since you kindly asked I'll talk about my ocs! Let's get started! :D

Under cause it looooong

We'll be talking about Buffy and Clair a pair of witch sisters I made a while back! They are actually part of the first few ocs I made up specifically for this little world of mine(*cough*WIP*cough*).

The world doesn't have an official name but we can call it "Treasure" for now cause that's what the file is called cause it's my little treasure :3

I have several ocs(-maybe too many I am a dreamer) in the past younger me made that I'm reusing to add to this one(making characters is hard), but officially these two are part of the main first few made for "Treasure".

Ladia is actually the first one and originally this whole world and story was going to be about merchants and how they go about dealing with upcoming heroes and the like. But this isn't about her or that! This is about Buffy and her sister Clair!

Buffy is the older sis and her name(I just chose names pretty randomly but sorta fitting) is Buffy because she 'buffs' your weapons or etc so you can do better in combat.

Clair is the younger sis and her name is Clair for "Cleric" cause she's a healer....yeah that's it that's their name origins I am a genius and bad with names. But simple is best sometimes! Unfortunately they were not so simple when they were first made, again younger me didn't know nothing but that's ok. (Current me knows somethings but they learning too)

My mind was alllllll over the place when it came to their designs and personalities and what they did and liked so I jotted down everything.

Any idea that popped up? Down.

Did it make sense for their character? No.

Was it messy? YES.

ANYWAYS

Buffy was a witch who does the buffing and she also dealt with statis effects too. She was a bit cold but she's pretty nice once she opens up and while she and her sis looked nothing a like they're pretty close. She ran the potion shop with her sister while Clair would be off gathering ingredients like fairy dust and monster parts etc.

She was more of a homebody in that way but she was pretty good at flying and did it often to deliver potions. That's where here whole jumpsuit and goggles outfit came from cause she'd be flying pretty often but still be comfy just chilling.

Over a while I gave her that brush broom and came up with the idea of her doing those colored air designs planes do I strayed from the path of what I had originally in mind which leads to much later in this post.

CLAIR ON THE OTHER HAAAAAAND- she was pretty quiet too and had fairy friends and preferred the company of monsters over people. She also looked WAAAAAY different but the key things have stayed: big hat, long boots, short hair, and has a mushroom monster obsession.

I struggled with her design a lot cause it just didn't reach the amount of crazy I was looking for she was basically a cute gardener for a long while...until the lab coat and big glasses came in. AND even then while I had the vibe I wanted that wasn't enough cause her hair made me struggle so much until I was like "add curls or something" and BAM HERE SHE BE CLAIR everything came together in that moment.

Clair is my favorite ever since I figured her out and I love her with my whole heart! My pride and joooooooy!

Most recently I have been writing a story for the world- I've been calling it "Treasure" again cause it's a little treasure for me and also it's the name I drifted too the most. (I already know how it starts and ends and some in between bits so eeeeeyyyyyy go me but also what the heck me you created a whole new oc just to do this even though you had already made another oc to do the original idea so now there's two- no THREE- and I need to chill)

So writing for Clair came so easily that I was excited to work on her sister's part next but for some reason I just could not write. I got stuck so I went over her character and while I liked her and everything she was just....meh honestly. (Mind you it's all just rough summaries but the point is I still couldn't figure out a summary for her and that's bad.)

Her design was cute and I loved her energy but I couldn't figure out why it was so hard to just write for her. Then I realized there was TOO much on her and much of it strayed from how I originally thought of her. Like yeah she's nice but in what way does she read as "someone who can make your weapons/etc stronger"?!?! Or even "someone who deals with status effects"?!?!?!

So I had to start from point one essentially and I remembered a video I watched a while back that's definitely helped me break down my characters into more manageable pieces- which I've also used backwards to see if my characters truly fit what I'm going for. (The video is "Character Design Tips" by Naoki Saito for those curious it's in Japanese but there are subs in various languages)

Many designs I've got of my ocs have changed so much like Kettle who I did for a pallet challenge(maybe I'll post him later) but our girl Clair is basically 1000% where she needs to be in life XD

On the other hand Buffy is no more- jk she's still here but she went through some needed character surgery and has been split into two now. So now the potion sister duo is now a trio!

Bless past me for the old alternative outfit designs I made for her cause SHEEEESH

And also bless the internet for helping me find the beautiful hair ideas that made everything click! I saw so many beautiful braids my heart could not!

So the Potion Sisters are Buffy, Stacy, and Clair! YAAAAAAAAY!

Buffy does still 'buff' your weapons and she has taken up shop and is a blacksmith now. Congrats on the change may I give you the muscles you deserve. :D

Stacy deals with adding 'status' effects to your items mostly accessories and is a jeweler. Ask her to give you a ring that causes poison when enemies touch you and she'll do it for half price she's got so much poison...maybe too much poison <_<;;;;;;;;

Clair is still a healer or 'cleric' class though she's more obsessed with those mushroom monsters so good luck on her healing you XD

(At this point she's a cleric who strayed from the path of a normal healer and is bordering on summoner territory which was also part of the notes I got for her from the madness)

The funny part of this change is that Buffy doesn't entirely work with potions as much anymore cause of this change but she does cause quenching exists but I'll work on how that works later! Quenching stuff in potions sounds hilarious! XD and dangerous <_<;

Thanks for asking about Buffy and Clair! If anyone has anymore questions about them, other characters and "Treasure" as a whole go nuts!

Bonus rough idea doodle of them:

I'm still solidifying their designs but this is the gist of what they look like now in comparison to the old art I've posted on how Buffy was before. Would have added more art but I could make a post of how the math of the design worked cause I did do a lot of character surgery.

Anyways thanks again and have a lovely day!
