Creator Journal #2 – The Character I’ve Carried for 30 Years
Today I’d like to introduce you to Adrianna—the very first original character I ever created.
What started as a single pencil drawing when I was sixteen eventually became the heart of Legend of Nero: SAGA and the protagonist of my debut novel, Blood & Oaths.
In this episode I share the story behind Adrianna’s creation, the promise I made to my younger self, the many redesigns she went through over the years, and how she evolved from a sketch on ruled notebook paper into the central character of an epic fantasy world.
This is less about drawing a character—and more about growing alongside one.
If you’re interested in character design, fantasy writing, storytelling, or the creative process behind building an original universe, I hope you’ll enjoy the journey.
