\nCharacter Summary: She grew up with Ars and Tia.\u00a0 She\u2019s always been a little odd.\u00a0 Most people would call her carefree and childlike, even as an adult.\u00a0 However, she often possesses surprising insight about people and the world around her.\u00a0 She always refers to herself in the third person.<\/p>\n
Despite being the title character, Aurora isn\u2019t the \u201cmain\u201d character (that\u2019s Ars).\u00a0 But she\u2019s a central figure in the story, as Ars\u2019 childhood friend and in many other ways.\u00a0 By the time players have gotten through the first storyline, they\u2019ll understand why it\u2019s her name in the title and what her nightmare is.\u00a0 Or one interpretation anyway.\u00a0 As this is a visual novel, there are many things that will only come to light as players repeat the game and explore the other paths that the story can take, which will often challenge their past interpretations of the story.<\/p>\n
Based on the above description, here are a few of the sketches of Aurora\u2019s done by my character artist, Hanbee Lee.<\/p>\n In the description, I mention that Aurora is a little odd.\u00a0 That applies both to her dress and actions.\u00a0 There are a number of things that set her apart from others, even her own friends. One of her most obvious personality quirks, however, is the way she always refers to herself in the third person.\u00a0 For example, always saying her own name rather than “I” or “me.”\u00a0 This was a part of her character from the very beginning, back when I was planning to tell the story of Ars, Tia, and Aurora in a regular novel.\u00a0 While I didn\u2019t know it at the time, referring to themselves in the third person is actually common among young Japanese children, who haven\u2019t yet mastered the language\u2019s nuanced use of personal pronouns.\u00a0 While most kids grow out of the habit fairly quickly, some girls keep it up through high school or even college, believing that it makes them sound young and cute (cuteness, rather than sexiness or coolness, is the height of Japanese fashion and pop-culture).\u00a0 As it turned out, that\u2019s very appropriate, both for Aurora\u2019s character and the game\u2019s heavy Japanese influence.<\/p>\n To wrap things up, here\u2019s one of Aurora\u2019s poses cleaned up, colored, shaded, and ready to go in the game.\u00a0 I hope you look forward to learning more about her, both in future posts and in the game itself!<\/p>\n This week, I\u2019m going to talk a bit about one of the characters in Aurora\u2019s Nightmare.\u00a0 Specifically, Aurora herself.\u00a0 To begin with, here is the character profile I created for her when first planning the game (with a couple things removed to prevent spoilers).\u00a0 Sorry about the somewhat dodgy grammar and sentence structure.\u00a0 I wrote … Continue reading Repost – Meet Aurora<\/span> ![\"Sketches](\"https:\/\/penandswordgames.com\/AurorasNightmare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/AuroraSketch.jpg\")
