Four Suits FP!AU - Diamond Jack / Anna Mei
Added 2019-07-21 02:36:21 +0000 UTCAlternate Universe Fan Character
A supporting character for a fan work I have in mind for Freedom Planet, a character that came to light from a prompt with Wahahuui.
Trivia (Canon):
- Anna Mei, also known for her title of Diamond Jack, is the weakest and lowest ranking of the elite Four Suits of the Red Scarves, back when they were nothing more but a smaller group of thieves with various elite members overseeing their operation.
- Her role is that akin to a treasurer as well as the scout for the Scarves during heists. However, she is far from defenseless, and has reportedly butted heads with the other Suit members, with her reportedly winning.
- It is heavily implied she willingly holds back, as she usually prefers approaching problems with the least confrontations possible.
- She arms herself with concealed weaponry, typically, but not exclusively, an umbrella whose fabrics are held up by multiple daggers and a sharpened pike top. Other notable weapons include Tessens (War Fans) and, when discretion is no longer necessary, a elemental-infused bo staff as last resort.
Trivia (Other):
- Her scarf can be repurposed to a cloak she can wear akin to Sky from the Shantae series.
- She only wears reading glasses to seem smarter in the eyes of others as she reads for them. Wearing her pair reveals they have no augmentation at all: they are purely aesthetic.
- Moodboard Facts: She was originally going to be strictly an ex-scarves merchant, and a feline based on the Ecaflip race from the Dofus/Wakfu series. She got her name and additional design choices for being heavily inspired by her Fire Emblem's namesake.
- Her eventual species change came from emergent changes based on Tsumugi Shirogane's traits (namely the eyebrows and some facial changes).
- Due to the design considerations, as a tribute to Kyoto Animation for the recent events as of this writing, I decided to promote her as a Poster Girl (Avatars for AFZ, typically associated with the Aoki sisters and the Jian family from DE) complete with the Aoki sister's surnames in their home series (Mei).
