So, I've been meaning to do this for awhile and now that I have let me explain that there are tons and tons of inspirations in which I drew out for Nina, however, I'd like to think there were some key roles that played into how I created her.
1 - Her zodiac sign, Pisces. With the information I attained I have been able to get a deep understanding of characteristic traits and now what her basic personality resembles. It was extremely helpful and it developed Nina into who I now have her as.
2 - Princess Yue, from Avatar. I don't know who I could have inspire me more as a character to make Nina like, than Yue. She was the definition of everything I was drawn to and I had to make a character with a tie to her somehow. Hence why I have Nina have such a big love for the moon and she's really spiritual.
3 - Ino Yamanaka, from Naruto. Ino has always been a favored character of mine but I never thought about tying in any similarities between her and my character. She is a gorgeous and strong shinobi ninja with a great sense of dignity and pride that I had to give Nina. Ino isn't a female to underestimate and neither is Nina. They both let you think you have the upper hand before they strike. I also tied Ino's love and knowledge for flowers and all plants into the equation.
4 - Dawn, from Total Drama Revenge of the Island. Again not a girl to underestimate, she has the capability to be just as lethal as any of the contestants. Dawn who also reminds me of Yue is associated with supernatural moon abilities, both highly spiritual and compassionate souls.
5 - The Black Swan, the whole movie just kind of inspired me. Generally all from the lead in the movie, Nina. Who was played by Natalie Portman. Any live actress for Nina would be played by her, indefinitely. 6 - Pride and Prejudice kind of tie into The Black Swan, though a lot of different roles throughout the movie I was drawn to.
7 - Enchanting photography. Like the one above, if I found any pictures I was drawn to I would try to come up with the idea of placing Nina as any of them to get inspired.
8 - All of the Ginger Snaps movies but mostly the first one. I got Nina's no nonsense attitude from Bridgette and her wild side from Ginger. This is actually were the werewolf concept was born as well. Everything about this movie made me realize how cool it would be to combine people with unlikely ability to be werewolves.
There you guys go, it isn't all of it but, it's some of it. Hope you enjoy~ Meme credit: : :devIzzywinkle-d2yo9j: Zane and Vera will be soon.
