Is the process of external and internal changes of the main character of “The Frosted” logical?
Today we will tell you about the most beloved child, the most daring girl, and about the one whose strong will leads to a logical ending, no matter what it becomes as a result. Perhaps there will be a little snotty and blind adoration in the article. Be patient and we will tell you the most important things!
The Idea
Ursula was born long before we came to the creation of the project. In the distant years, in her youth, our artist, Marina, drew a girl - perhaps these were echoes of herself in a cartoon form, perhaps, the creative foundation was simply being formed that time.
Personality
There is a description of the name “Ursula” on the Internet. Very curious, by the way.
According to the description, the name “... endows its owner with a choleric temperament and a strong masculine character. Responsible and strong, energetic, persistent and efficient, generous and not envious, Ursula always knows how to live and what to do to solve a problem ... ”. This is exactly what our character is, she is seeking to bring the matter to the end, deferred to people only at the moment of extreme necessity, guided more by calculation than by feelings: although this description was not known to us at the time of thinking over the character and her behavior.
Ursula shows the player from the very beginning how strong and courageous she is in her decisions. How pure and sharp her mind is and how determined she is to, first, save her brother, then - make their parents come back.

“On Paper” Realization
We had different ideas and a lot of disputes as to what the main character would look like.
For example, more detailed and western-style drawing (somewhat similar to Disney characters):
A sort of Pocahontas:
More "folk-like" Ursula:
And finally, we decided that the main character of our game will look like this:
It is very difficult to find the “same” concept of a character, so that it is bright, resonant to some extent and memorable. The girl, to whom our today's article is dedicated, is not only our creation, but also an integral member of our team.
She can be drawn in different ways, but equally loved, cannot she?
When our artist gets tired of drawing the plot main art, she gives herself a break by drawing such cute sketches in the style of “Ursula in the spirit of Disney”.
Feelings
Ursula loves her brother. Only next to him does she feel alive and happy, as in the old carefree times.
Regularity of Сhanges
Ursula begins her long journey being a little girl. She has a difficult burden: not only to defeat Ilva, the evil Queen of Ice, but also to harness the power gained in an unequal fight with the Queen.
Gradually, the character acquires many additional abilities that help her not only to defend herself, but also to attack the enemies, ruthlessly exterminating them on her way. Constantly working to improve on her abilities takes a lot of vitality. Crystals, magic, secret places, constant search, battles to the death: all this has its consequences for the development of the inner world. Having the new powers, Ursula herself is transformed: her behavior, the way of thinking and, of course, her appearance. Joy is gradually being reduced in her heart, and more and more dark thoughts creep in.
Pretty soon (late autumn 2021), everyone will be able to feel like Ursula and experience her transformation with her. Or maybe one will be able to influence her and the outcome of events in the Northern Region? .. Everyone has every opportunity to change the main character and influence the ending of the game. Here it is, a blank sheet in hers, and in your hands.
We are now preparing to launch the crowdfunding campaign that kicks off on December 1st at 4:00PM Moscow time on Crowdrepublic.
