#fuchsia beyer-guma

My old Pokémon piece, while FAR higher quality, has become entirely outdated since everyone in it has been redesigned in some way since then (some more than once). I don’t have the time to redraw the entire thing, but here’s a follow up of sorts.

Fuchsia Beyer-Guma, the Fuchsia Drewman

Be Tough

Rank: B+ (Season Two Major Character)

Character Bases

Gritty in Pink

Fuchsia’s tiny, pink, and cute, but sugar and spice can kill you. The strong, silent type, Fuchsia really isn’t the sort to open up to people. If anything, she’s more of the “will open you up for pissing her off” kind of girl. Fuchsia isn’t all that bad, mind you. She’s just a terrifying introvert with a short fuse.

Fun Facts

Fuchsia is one of several characters to change names and colors in development, starting off as Mallow (mauve), Anthea (amaranth), Reese (cerise and the name she goes by throughout Rough Sketch), Scarlett (scarlet), Crimson, and Carmen (carmine). No concept art exists of Mallow, Scarlett, or Carmen and Anthea is completely identical to Reese, but her time as Crimson gets special mention as her hairstyle from then onwards was inherited from a prototype design for Sage, who was also named Crimson at one point in development. In turn, Fuchsia’s color was used by Cree (cream), Coral, and Orchid in the past. Fuchsia currently has the most unused color palettes of the entire cast despite technically only having three designs.

Fuchsia’s surnames are a play on “gummy bear”, tying into the sweet theme to the characters’ last names and forming a theme with her boyfriend Tyler’s surname.

Fuchsia was originally a more malicious and rascally character before mellowing out significantly later in development.

Fuchsia’s hairdo is meant to evoke the look of horns when seen from the side.

Fuchsia, as Crimson, was originally meant to have a scar over her left eye.

Fuchsia’s actually a naturally shy person. Her general personality is her way of dissuading people from talking to her if they don’t have to. It works.
