I usually get ideas for characters from whatever I'm doing at the moment. This one time, I was having toast for breakfast (which is rare because I don't even like toast), I made Toast Man. He's a piece of toast with a big giant nose and tiny little arms and legs XDDDDDDD
Yes.
And I made this character named Zaph.. and he can control electricity. I came up with him right after I shocked myself while unplugging my laptop lol.
As for Ruri, I was doing research on Native American history for my US history class and the Seneca tribe popped up.... Which is the tribe that Ruri's mother came from XD
