  • Created richly layered characters with unique animal traits and backstories, from the shy hydrokinetic bat Nova to the robotic antagonist Ruby.
  • Crafted a multi-act storyline including conflict, character development, betrayal, and climactic battles.
  • Translated visual art and fragmented ideas into written form suitable for pitching to producers or publishers in the anime industry.
