Character Designs

Su, the main character. An imaginative 6 year old. A lover of stars, rabbits, and bugs of all kinds, her room is full of toys that reflect her somewhat eccentric interests. Of all of these, her favorite is her blue stuffed cat plush, Bat Barf. She loves stories, but has a fear of the dark and of spiders. As long as she has her nightlight and her dreamcatcher, though, everything should be alright. Right?

Chelsea, Su's mom. The narrator of the story of the Shifty-Spider. She has a big collection of stories in an old book titled 'Tales from the Once-Then'.

Overall design and color choices not final.

The Shifty-Spider, a monster from an old story. He lives exclusively in the dark and old, forgotten places, looking to feed off of passing thoughts, dreams, ideas, and memories. When he encounters a living person, he will stalk them, then steal them away to feed from until they fade away to nothing. The more he is feared and the longer he is ignored, the stronger he becomes.

Imp, an unexpected visitor, and Bat Barf, Su's doll.
