SWORDSMAN

The narrator never has an official appearance in the book, since it is told from his perspective. However, he is described as a pilot who never pursued the arts. I wanted to give him a similar social status to that of a pilot, during the year in which the book was written. And I believed designing him as a swordsman/samurai was fitting.

THE PRINCE

The little prince is described as an extraordinary small person with hair that is the colour of gold. There are many illustrations in the book so we have a handy visual guide readyHe is simple yet elegant.

Lift Off

The prince departed from his home on a flock of birds. Personally i wanted to explore how the sky/ planet system would look since it was not explicitly described in the original book
