"Liquid Freeze" Tilda. "Esperanza Luz" Marina Lear. And "Tortured Soul" Katrina Salvatore of the agency, Glass Coffin. See the origins of how I came up with them. Please enjoy and relish the awesomeness. Thank you very much! --KatDon
TILDA OXFORD: Tilda was supposed to be the main protagonist because I was obsessed with Hitsugaya, Lamia Scale and other shit so I wanted to focus on that but then, a little voice in my head was like: "What about the other characters?" So yeah...I had to focus on other characters and came up with Ba-rie! Anyway....Moving on! Originally; Tilda had a rival-friend relationship with Maggie Wolfe because of the the term I used 'blood over water' so yeah, pretty clever. Tilda's water and ice powers are similar to Katara's Waterbending: Katara is highly skilled in Waterbending which utilizes chinese martial arts techniques of "internal style" T'ai chi ch'uan and Jeet Kune Do; Katara is the only surviving Master of "Southern Tribe Yang-style" after the 100 year genocide. Waterbending represents the element of change, and is categorized as the most adaptive or pliable of the "four bending arts". Waterbending emphasizes "softness and breathing" over "hard aggression"; fluid and graceful, acting in concert with the environment; creating opportunities where none exist; this "flow of energy" allows their defensive maneuvers to translate into focus on control and counter-offenses, turning their opponents' momentum against them. Despite these advantages, Waterbending is almost entirely dependent on inertia; it is essential for practitioners to not be rigid, but to be fluid and able to adapt to any situation. Katara has demonstrated to be a formidable opponent to her enemies, able to fight on equal terms with Azula and Long Feng. Katara eventually outmatched the fire nation princess to demonstrate the extent of her skill. Without the aid of a full moon, Katara can use water to cut through objects; summon lashing waves and whips of varying sizes; cover herself with a sheath of water; surf on a length of ice; run and stand on the surface of water; melt and control existing ice; form ice into various shapes; freeze water and objects surrounded by water with little effort; create walls of mist and steam; transform steam into ice; evaporate large amounts of water; or derive a weapon from any moisture including her own perspiration. She can control huge amounts of water at a time, forming huge waves and bubbles of water. On one instance, Katara knocked down the entire Dai Li, Zuko, and Azula while riding atop a giant wave. As with all Waterbenders, Katara's powers max under the influence of a full moon. Katara demonstrates the ability to levitate and control water-based liquids, as well as pure water. BADA BING, BADA BOOM--MY INSPIRATION!
MARINA LEAR: In my previous drafts for Phenomenon Serendipity; Marina Lear was supposed to be a spunky Spanish girl with confidence and a dark side for revenge. However, she needed more work. I remember hearing this story at my school about how a Spanish girl deals with racism from white girls bullying them. The author herself was dealing with racism that involved around Latinas and Latinos. That sparked with the inspiration that Marina needed for her backstory. As for Marina's name? It came very a special singer--like Avril Lavigne--Marina Lambrini Diamandis (born 10 October, 1985), better known by her stage name Marina & the Diamonds (yes, it's just one person), is a Welsh singer-songwriter. Signed to 679 Recordings, she released her debut album, The Family Jewels in Febuary 2010, her second, Electra Heart, in April 2012, and her third, Froot, in March 2015. Electra Heart went to #1 in the UK and Ireland. Her stage name, "Marina & the Diamonds", consists of Diamandis' first name and the translation of her surname which means "Diamonds" in Greek. Although "The Diamonds" is often mistakenly believed to refer to her backing band, it in fact refers to Diamandis' fans: she explains this on her Myspace page by saying "I'm Marina. You are the diamonds." Diamandis' musical style ranges from keyboard-based ballads to more up-tempo New Wave-style songs with full band backing. Marina means "of the sea", Lambrini means "bright" or "shining", and Diamandis (of course) means "diamonds." Meaning her full name can be translated as "shining diamonds of the sea." So the name 'Marina' became an inspiration for Marina Lear, Marina and the Diamonds were my inspiration and I love Marina's singing voice--her songs are amazing.
KATRINA SALVATORE: Previously in my Phenomenon Serendipity drafts; Katrina was a crazy, wicked, vengeful young lady who gets defeated and becomes an ally who is tortured for the actions she caused and atones her sins. Katrina was supposed to be Briar's doppelganger and be the confusion for everyone's problems. But this was losing interest for me. I changed all that and decide to give some decency for Kat and she became something satisfying however I felt bad for not using the original idea. Oh well, it's OK. Here are the inspirations for Katrina Salvatore....Black Swan: Black Swan is a 2010 American psychological horror film directed by Darren Aronofsky. The screenplay by Mark Heyman, Andres Heinz and John McLaughlin is from a story by Heinz. It stars Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, Mila Kunis, Barbara Hershey and Winona Ryder. The plot revolves around a production of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake ballet by a prestigious New York City ballet company. The production requires a ballerina to play the innocent and fragile White Swan, for which the committed dancer Nina (Portman) is a perfect fit, as well as the dark and sensual Black Swan, which are qualities better embodied by the new arrival Lily (Kunis). Nina is overwhelmed by a feeling of immense pressure when she finds herself competing for the part, causing her to lose her tenuous grip on reality and descend into a living nightmare. Katherine from Vampire Diaries: Katerina Petrova (Bulgarian: Катерина Петрова; English: Katherine Pierce), is a fictional character from the hit TV series, The Vampire Diaries. Born June 5, 1473, Katherine is the ultimate doppelgänger, descended from Amara and Tatia. She is an ex-vampire and the ex-lover to both Salvatore brothers, Damon and Stefan. She first appears as Katherine Pierce in recurring flashbacks to 1864, which feature her romantic entanglements with the Salvatore brothers. She managed to turn them both into vampires, but she was consequently captured by the townspeople of Mystic Falls to be killed in Fells Church where they planned to lock the vampires in before setting it alight. She later appears in present day. Behind her sweet-nature facade, a much more calculating side of Katherine is revealed through flashbacks in which she escaped certain death with the help of George Lockwood, (at the expense of all the other vampires in town) in 1864. After 145 years, Katherine returns to Mystic Falls, toying with the Salvatores again and has a hidden agenda. Katherine earns no love after she turns Caroline Forbes into a vampire and uses a werewolf, Mason Lockwood, to retrieve a mysterious moonstone. Eventually she is exposed as a doppelgänger who has spent her immortal life fleeing from an Original vampire/werewolf hybrid, named Klaus aka (Niklaus Mikaelson). During Katherine's five centuries of life she became one of the most ruthless, notorious and infamous vampires in history. Katherine promises John Gilbert that she will help protect her descendant Elena Gilbert, even though the younger doppelgänger is her competition for the Salvatores' affections. She is initially portrayed as the main antagonist, but upon the arrival of Elijah, one of the Original vampires, Katherine is clearly terrified by the prospect of finally being caught by Klaus. Once she escapes at the end of the second season, she flees Mystic Falls almost immediately. Later returning to Mystic Falls in season 4; killing Elena's brother Jeremy Gilbert, to acquire a cure for vampirism while trying to negotiate a deal with Klaus for her freedom. This however; backfires on her, when Elena shoves the cure into her mouth during a fight, turning her human. Over the next season Katherine finds her long lost daughter, Nadia Petrova. Katherine's body is over 500 years and can't hold up to her being human. So, together Katherine and Nadia decide to plant Katherine's soul into Elena's body, but once Elena's friends discover this, she is stabbed to be extracted from Elena's body and she dies beside her daughter who dies just moments earlier from a hybrid bite.
