#estelia and selena

[nobleclover]

OK, so you know all those princesses from Rayman Legends, including Barbara? Here's my headcanons.

Barbara and Elysia were twins and lived together with their parents for the first two years of their lives. They got separated because their father couldn't stop being a cheap-ass colonial bastard who liked making shit worse for the serfs and servants. Barbara and Elysia's mother (who was more progressive and only married their father as per an arranged marriage) was forced to only take one toddler and raised her to be a rebel fighter until her death. Barbara never knew Elysia was her sister until they met up as young adults in battle.

Aurora and Twila are three years apart and hail from a kingdom populated by bean plants. They constantly quarrel over what way is the best way to rule their kingdom, which only serves to piss off their loyal subjects. When a toad army invades their kingdom, they fight with each other over how to get rid of them. Aurora simply wants to intimidate them into leaving, while Twila wants to use fire against them. (She's a pyromaniac, OK?)

Estelia and Selena are princesses who are in charge of taking care of the souls of the dead. Estelia manages the innocent souls, while Selena takes care of the evil ones. Selena feels jealous of her twin since she is depressed from seeing so much evil in the world and eventually...disappears. Estelia was under the impression of Selena being chill with her line of work until learning about her sister running away. She constantly sends out guardians to find Selena but hasn't had any luck so far. Meanwhile, Selena unfortunately falls under the influence of Mr Dark...

Ursula and Emma are a couple of tech-savvy princesses who have to deal with an army of underwater toads that are trying to kill them. Both sisters seek a device that creates portals to different worlds, and they want to throw the toads through such a portal. (But they haven't considered the possibility of the toads becoming a danger to other people, lol) Anyways, Emma gets separated from Ursula on a mission through a labyrinth, leading to her older sister to think she died. She is working hard on defeating the toads and avenging her (not so) dead sister.

Olympia and Sibylla are two princesses who are descended from Athena, goddess of wisdom. The two of them defend Olympus from attacks by demons and still stick by each other no matter what. Sibylla is too curious for her own good and often goes monster hunting (namely the Minotaur), leading to Olympia to go out and drag her arse home before she gets killed.

So yeah, here's the backstories I made up for the main line of princesses from Rayman Legends. I know that there are MORE, but I can't be arsed to go through them. Also, in my headcanon, each set of sisters isn't related, i.e., Barbara and Elysia aren't related to A+T, E+S, etc. Asafjdhvzd

Feliz Día de los Muertos

I drew this I think a month ago, but I thought it would be a neat idea to give them more traditionally-mexican clothes? Estelia looks more like a dancer and Selena looks more like a Catrina :)

Estelia and Selena

Got major The book of life vibes from these two.

Estelia and Selena are the princesses of Fiesta de los Muertos. So, Drew the sisters together.

[bessabessa]

I didn't expect to find such an old drawing😭😭... Not bad 🤌

[deadjam6]

Sometimes Raymesis doesn’t understand the mysterious language Selena speaks with her sister (They speak Spanish)

MYSTERIOUS LANGUAGE 😭😭😭😭 LMAO

✨Rayman Princess Designs✨

So these are early concepts or redesigns I have for the princesses because I feel like they all look too similar to Barbara. I was kind of a challenge but I kind of worked through the color palette of each of them as well as the location they are from. 

I’ll put the descriptions here: 

Barbara and Elysia

I didn't really change much for Barbara but I definitely did for Elysia. I go with the colors of each of the princesses. So this one is a strange but cute idea, but I like to think that Barbara’s and Elyisa’s parents were a Viking that fell in love with an orc queen. Both having similar interests with adventure and brute force. Hence why I gave Elysia more orc-like features here. She is a little bit more timid younger sister of Barbara who is more confident. But both sisters have a big heart of gold. They actually have the healthiest sisterly bond out of all the princesses I have here. I kinda gave Barbara orc-like teeth too, they're just not as visible as her sister’s.

Aurora and Twila

These two were actually tricky since they supposedly are based around fighting the toads in a bog-like area, with beanstalks and have appearances of Scottish warriors. So this took a little more thought, but I think it would be interesting if it were based around the fable ‘The Scorpion and the Frog’, making Aurora more frog-like since she lives in a swamp kingdom in which was invaded by toad creatures. For Twila I originally wanted her to be similar to a poison dart frog, but I wasn't sure if it would look good since she has the weirdest color palette of all princesses. I’m split between making her into a black widow (to give them more of an acrobatic advantage) or a scorpion. It kinda gave me an excuse to change her hair style. In my version they are step-sisters that are also rivals. Aurora is a loyal and trusting warrior whilst Twila is more of a resigned trickster.

Estelia and Selena

I haven't really changed much with these two. Except I had Estelia’s outfit more based on La Catrina, down to the bright red and orange dress. I used a hat decorated with feathers (based on the feathers from the original helmet), marigolds and sugar skulls. I think she would keep her bone club whilst giving Selena a scythe. As for Selena ~~best goth gf~~ I made her outfit more based on a modern day grim reaper. Giving her a reaper hoodie (similar to my other design for Voodoo Mama) but also gave her a violet skirt. They kinda have a more *strained* relationship. Selena was taken more seriously as a leader than Estelia (since Estelia is a party goer and a little irresponsible), they drifted apart due to their differences and favoritism among their people. This made Estelia more lonelier than ever (leading her to steal the forbidden spirit board and eventually summon Dalmiro in ‘Rayman and the Livid Eclipse’). Note that Estelia is more extroverted while Selena was more introverted.

Ursula and Emma

So at first I wanted them to be like mermaid spies. But I didn't really like how they looked. I still wanted to keep the spy outfits they have. Originally I was going to give them a design that mixed between the swamp monster and a koi fish. BUT I realized what would be more fitting if these girls are half octopus (since octopi are great escape artists apparently). I also gave them gear for them to throw both on land and sea. They have water pumps on their necks for their gills as well as tech to help them with their missions (based on Abe Sapien from Hellboy). Ursula is more stoic and an overachiever, pretty much the ‘golden child’ of the spy industry. Emma is sort of the opposite, despite giving great battle plans, she can be very clumsy in her missions and dojo practice. She was often not taken seriously by other spies for her less ‘intimate’ appearance (which is ironic because her bright tentacles are technically TOXIC since she’s based on a blue ringed octopus).

Olympia and Sibylla

So for Olympia I kind of give her more of an angelic appearance. Originally I was going to give her an appearance that is a mix between a Greek goddess and a biblically accurate angel but I feel like the multiple wings might be a little too much, but I’ll figure it out. Olympia can be a great sweetheart although she sometimes has an unaware ‘god complex’ as she’s half titan and/or god. Sometimes she’ll say things that can be hurtful unintentionally. She’s often lonely most of her immortal life on Olympus Maximus, so she doesn’t really know how to make friends. As for her distant Sister Sibylla, I gave her more of a hunter or brute-ish look, giving her an appearance of a huntress demigod. To top it off with the head of a previous Minotaur king after she’s been slaying Minotaurs and demons for centuries in the underworld. Making her kind of a “sadist” when it comes to battle.

They’re not completed as of yet but here’s some concepts I did so far 

[piny1234]

I’d imagine that Selena and Estelia’s parents would look like Xibalba and La Muerte from Book of Life if that makes sense

Ohhhh love this idea too!!! I can imagine how family they are!!

[cosmo-production]

Rayman stuff (i think) would work well in the Sparks of hope DLC: rayman in the phantom show

(CONTEXT; THIS WAS BEFORE IT CAME OUT I WAS SO WRONG)

the obvious picks: barbara and Globox

the two seem most likely to appear because of rayman legends and being the thing that bailed Rayman out of obscurity. being the extra playable characters the game needs when Rabbid Mario and Peach get boring to play. globox being a bulky character with single target-focused damage , barbara is a close combat version of edge.

Raymesis:

the most popular evil Rayman poeple would riot of he didnt get, even some wanting to develop character outside of being a clone and i feel the wacky world of rabbid's is great place to do it, he would be boss fight that acts like a powerful version of Rayman, but he would use darkmess versions of rabbid Mario and rabbid peach. being a creature himself made of dark magic, he interacts with darkmess just fine. this creates a rival battle for ages as Raymesis's team is stronger than you in most aspects but friendly fire is on for all of there attacks, take advantage of that and he will fall easily. at the end the clones melt and Raymesis runs off like an angry diva and can be seen the break room yelling about the lost

the fun stuff:

1st off

dark rayman: an evil doppelganger created to hunt down rayman to ends of the world, mirroring everything ray does until he catches him

this could be a fun minboss fight, using his shadow-like body to phase through attacks that are not from rayman, but there would be props with ray's face on them that the others would set up, he would charge at them like a bull, and leave him open.

maybe at the end he disappears the second somebody asks where he came from. then showing randomly during fights

Fiesta de los Muertos:

Fiesta de los Muertos itself would be great astheic on it own as part of the dlc but maybe the world could be invaded by phantom turn was once an undead party, into a theatrical nightmare realm with the two rulers of land estelia and selena leading the rebellion, with selena in particular keen on collecting phantom's soul, being a ghost with no unfinished business breaking i don't know all the rules of the underworld

dark teensy:

again, a character from legends and origins that is very likely to get in because two games that revived rayman. but every tv show plot in a game needs a intern that the butt of every joke and there perfect for the role.

this would perfect for Phantom and to up his character, a ost that mixes between phantom lyrics and the orchestral becoming one at the crescendo. Phantom gaining more control and power over it as it goes on. the toads that make up the orchestra as npc at start of the dlc but slowly become controlled by the phantom and turn into his mindless yes-man whose only purpose is to preach about phantom, greatness and build up his insatiable ego.

[the-eggplantblog]

Fiesta De Los Muertos is an interesting land. It was likely created long ago by a Polokus who was having a food related dream while thinking of funny skeletons.

It appears the area used to be overlooked in conjunction with Edith Up and Voodoo Mama that is until they moved their domains to the mainlands of the Glade. Humans looking for new isolated land made their way to this area and made it their home for countless centuries.

The human inhabitants are always in a partying mood and are well in tune with the afterlife. Always partying from birthdays to fiestas and Quinceañera In fact on certain days the dead returns to the living to meet and party with their living families thanks to a back door to the Land of the Livid Dead.

Wrestling is a fun and sacred past time for the citizens as well. The reining champions are well respected among individuals.

Unfortunately Polokus nightmares during Rayman Legends and Ales Mansey clones influenced the skeletons to be aggressive towards the living citizens and hired a mean bad giant to work with him this giant quickly became a wrestling champion due to his large size. That certainly didn’t stop Rayman from beating up this giant and becoming the new champion. Eventually the Skeletons were freed from the dark influence of the Magician and went back to being friendly with everyone.

Fiesta De Los Muertos doesn’t exactly follow a monarchy per se. In fact Estelia is more like a princess in a Homecoming Queen kind of way even so Estelia and her sister, Selena are still respected leaders in the land.

I love fiesta de los muertos,I like that it refers to Mexican culture, it's very funny^^,and it's nice that they want to represent Latin culture and in a way as fun as this level is❤️

[crucialraymesis]

My idea for Selena is that she is the smartest of the Raymesis gang but she’s just as reckless in her own ways as well.

She first got into the Land of the Livid Dead by pretending to be dead. She learned a neat little trick to stop her heart pulse for 1 minute (used it to give her sister, Estelia a good scare). So she and Estelia came up with a plan.

Since Mr. Grim only allows the dead to enter or if you do a favor for him or Voodoo Mama. Selena skipped all that. First she pretends to be dead then Estelia carries her to Mr. Grim he checks Selena’s pulse sees that it’s stopped and allows Estelia temporary entrance to bury Selena there. After enough distance from him Selena wakes up and is now in the Livid Dead realm.

Of course this plan was quickly found out by Mr. Grim who was going to kick Selena out for tricking him but Voodoo Mama was so impressed by Selena’s deception that she gave her full access to the area whenever she wants.

that is such a good headcanon!!!

ive always thought that selena would be some kind of smart, or some education 😭

[microw4v3]

estelia and selena! sun and moon sisters!(♡◕ω◕♡)

its my first time drawing ppl's... profiles? side views? (,,•﹏•,,) idk how its calls but i hope u get it! i hope i wont remember this art as my worst because i dont actually like the result but its not that bad i think? ヾ(･ω･`;)ﾉ

also the estelia's hair actually brown and pink on this pic but idk why the color correction made it JUST pink... PINK ESTELIA??⚆_⚆

[arcane-darkling]

"Let's do this!"

"Oh, Polokus forgive me! I overslept again..."

The protectors of the Livid Dead Door!

Headcanon explaining below cut 👀

Since Selena is with the Purple gang, I thought having Estelia team up with Goth Teensy would be a fun idea!

I Headcanon Fiesta de Los Muertos used to be part of the Land of the Livid Dead.

Estelia wishes to bring order to her land, and maybe even unify the both, so it is on her best interests to keep an eye out.

Meanwhile Goth Teensy's job is already to keep an eye on the door (but he keeps lazying around).

So Estelia keeps on insisting to help, forcing the poor Teensy to ACTUALLY do his job. They'd just be going around the Glade, kicking them back in or trying to negotiate (to not much avail).

Estelia is this fun loving extroverted girl meanwhile Goth Teensy is just some stressed out dude since he (again) failed on his duty to keep an eye on the dead door...

I swear I've been coming up with so many Rayman headcanons is insane

[nobleclover]

Estelia and Selena have a Spanish accent and can speak it as their first language but they can also speak others as well. Their kingdom is based on Mexican architecture and it pays many respects to the dead. On a certain day the deceased are allowed to crossover into the living world to visit families and celebrate.

Estelia is a party girl she’s knows all the ways to throw a great party, sometimes after Legends she gets letters from Teensies on how to throw a party. Estelia Selena in comparison is more studious and tends to be a wallflower when she’s invited to her sister’s parties.

Selena knows a lot more about supernatural than she lets on to the point she can can turn herself into a ghost but it’s temporary. She uses this to study the Livid Dead world.

Ooh, very interesting! I can definitely see that with Estelia and Selena!

[bessabessa]

I wonder how long it takes Selena to put on her skull face makeup.

I bet Glombrox and Raymesis would be so confused if they saw her without it

Oooh, I never thought of that. As for time, I do not think it takes a long time, as she and Estelia paint their faces white and draw a circle around their eyes and the nose of their skull, but I cannot deny that Raymesis and Glombrox will be terrified.

[deadjam6]

Mow Selena I have all sorts of ideas for her both sincere and funny that can make the group dynamic fun.

To me I find it incredibly funny to think that she just showed up one day to Raymesis group. No fanfare or anything.

She saw them doing some scheme found them pretty interesting and so just tagged along. It took them 2 days for Raymesis and Glombrox to notice her following them and another 2 days for her to actually talk to them. She has a sort of fascination towards Raymesis to the dismay of her little sister Estelia cause she thinks Raymesis is just a simple hooligan. Is she interested cause it’s a crush or a fascination toward his foolish ego and stupidity is unknown even she doesn’t have a clear answer.

If Barbara is loud and boisterous then Selena is quiet and speaks in a respectful tone. Very studious and wants to understand all things related to the dead. She loves macabre and all things scary. If the group went into a haunted house for example they’d all be scared except for her she’d just be smiling. She has a habit of hanging upside down like a bat.

OH MY GOD, YEA I LOVE THIS, that would be so funny with The bat thing 😭 like she probably jumpscares them all the time doing other stuff too, like her just appearing out of nowhere probably fuckign jumpscares them too BAHAH

raymesis would definally deny that she scared him, even if he screamed or something hed try to make an excuse of why he did it thay wasnt selenas jumpscare
