Seraphita Polaris/Design Archive

## Design Archive

Seraphita has an extensive design archive, and is the character that possesses the most amount of iterations.

### Initial Draft: Lady Melia Reincarnate

Initially, Seraphita was designed to be a brand-new reincarnation of Lady Melia during the fourth cycle. From this design idea came forth several cues that tie back to Melia, such as her mole pattern, eyes and ahoge. Seraphita has the same birthmark pattern on her face, being one mole next to her left eye, and an arch of four moles on her right cheek. Part of this mole pattern is a karihana character design staple. Other important characters such as Leïla, Melia, Lilea, Pastelle and Hachimitsu share this trait as well.

She was designed to be bottom-heavy like Melia, while also being an Artifice (Seraphita is a C-type while Melia is a D-type), and share shark-like dentition in their mouths, although Seraphita's are much bigger than Melia.

### Seraphelle Variants

Later on, it was decided that Seraphita would no longer be a reincarnation of Melia, but its own character entierly. This is when it was decided that Seraphita would be called Seraphelle Paillette, due to how the primary design pattern was stars.

Seraphita was colour-coded to be white and red, with bell and star imagery across her design. The general direction was to make her look gracious to create a twist when the character develops its own story arc. It was also around that time that Seraphita's Ether was decided to be transforming into objects. Seraphita'ss patterns revolve around four-pointed stars and bells. "Clochette" means sleigh bells in French, as it was the next surname she would be getting around that time.

Her hair was design to have rounded tips and look like chantilly cream to give an inoffensive feeling, and a rather dizzy attitude. A definitive size and shape was decided as she would be of 136cm while being 86kg. This made her the fifth smallest character of Galaxy Travail, being only taller to Akkala, Leïla, Charlotte and Shanshu.

Before the major redesign into Seraphita, she had a uniform redesign as the Kepler academy was being redesigned into the Starfall Foundation. This meant that all characters would have the same uniform code with a high amount of personalisation. The cape is reserved to Elite students, and Seraphita is seen wearing one.

### Seraphita Polaris Variant

The last name, Polaris was decided as the project saw major restructuring and reworking of its entire worldbuilding. Polaris was chosen because of being the northern star on Earth, being the brighest star that is always in the centre of the sky. The Polaris project event was envisioned with new background characters of Grace and Hana Polaris, which also bear the surname. As for the first name Seraphita, it was changed to closely match her Japanese localised name. Most of the other characters have gotten changes the other way around. Most of her old lore was deprecated, such as being a reincarnation of Ampoule, having multiple Ethers and so on. It was decided that Ampoule and Sirène would be part of Seraphita through her mind, creating a dynamic about which character takes control of the body instead.

For her visual design, her horns were remade to be more sci-fi looking and much taller than her preceding designs. The Starfall Uniform was slightly redesigned to give Seraphita more details as she is one of the protagonists. Her cape was finally moved to her left forearm, which still produces the same visual effect as the original, but allows for a better design of the bust area. She was given boots in the uniform outfit as well. Her weapon designs changed to be more sci-fi looking too. Her Ether colour changes depending on who controls the body, Seraphita is in red, while Ampoule is in purple and Sirène is in blue.

Seraphita went from having a handful of outfits to having about a dozen or so, which can be found in the Outfits tab. The final design was made as an artwork with all the other student. Most of her outfits are either black or white, with Ether flavour to make the designs stand out due to how she was designed.
