Season 1

**Season 1** is the first season of *The Adventures of Evie and Mya*.

## Development

Planning for the first season dates back as far as 2019 when Av first dabbled in writing a series. The plot was tweaked extensively for a year until Potato became satisfied with it and started writing the first season. Ten episodes in total were commissioned, the first of which, *Prologue*, aired in October 2020. *Prologue*, along with the next five episodes of Season 1, were written the same day they were published; Potato regrets this decision due to the time constraints and "poor writing that came out of it."

After *Dancing in the Dark* was released, Av started to write the episode days before their release. Season 1 finished in November 2020 with *Winter Storm Arising*.

In 2022, Av declared her intent to rewrite Season 1 along with *Winter's Tales* and *Daniela Wrecks Christmas*, citing that her old work was "sloppy" and had consistency errors needing to be fixed, in addition to needing more cohesion and fixes. She was very excited about the rewrites, stating that there was "a lot to see."

On August 26th, 2022, Av dropped a teaser for the first half of the rewritten Season 1 and revealed that it would be released on September 3rd, starting with *Prologue* and going on a mid-season hiatus after *Ex-Girlfriend*. The first five episodes would also be released to DeviantArt and Wattpad, marking the series' proper debut on both sites. The new synopses for the first five episodes were revealed the next day.

*Prologue* was re-released on September 3rd. Following the re-release of *Ex-Girlfriend* on October 1st, Season 1 was placed on a mid-season hiatus, and every episode up to that point was added to DeviantArt and Wattpad.

On November 8th, 2022, Av announced an update on the progress of the final five episodes of Season 1, revealing that *Dancing in the Dark* and *There's Something About Mya* had been completely rewritten while she was currently working on the rewrite for *She's Plotting Something*. She also teased the appearance of Danyka Nadeau in said episode.

On December 6th, 2022 - the day of her sixteenth birthday - Av announced the synopses for the remaining five episodes, teasing an announcement for the following day. This came not long after she revealed the rewrite of *Winter Storm Arising* had been finished. A day later, she dropped a teaser for the rest of Season 1 with a release date for *Dancing in the Dark* set for December 10th. The episode was released that day, and the rewritten season concluded on January 7th, 2023, with *Winter Storm Arising*. The episodes had also been added to DeviantArt and Wattpad by that point.

## Trivia

* The first season went through many drastic changes, being in development dating all the way back to 2019.
* Av originally considered her favorite episode to be either *Meeting Winter* or *Winter Storm Arising*.
	+ As of 2022, Av's favorite episodes from the season are *Daze Runners*, *Ex-Girlfriend*, *There's Something About Mya* (originally her least favorite episode), *She's Plotting Something*, and *Winter Storm Arising*.
* Season 1 was the first batch of *Evie and Mya* literature to be rewritten with *Winter's Tales* and *Daniela Wrecks Christmas* soon to follow. Season 1 was worked on first and completed by late autumn 2022.
	+ Av hinted at a bigger plot, more character dynamics, and more action than before, including a new cruel nickname given to Winter (Snowblind). There would also be new songs; Av teased appearances from Varien (*Transmissions from Lemuria*, *Aether and Light*, and *Snowlight*) and Danyka Nadeau (*Ashes* and *Resonate*), who appeared in Season 3. She also teased the debut appearance of Tristam (*The Vine*), who would go on to inspire Daniela and Mya's relationship with his 2014 song with Braken, *Frame of Mind*.
	+ A lot of songs in the original Season 1 were replaced. Av says that they were "outdated" and "no longer reflect the scenes they previously appeared in."
	+ New content and scenes were created - such as Winter stargazing in *Meeting Winter*, Daniela confronting Winter in *Stalker*, and Winter's second nightmare in *Ex-Girlfriend*.
