Notable characters
Frosty Snow was my first Eahoc. She was a chess and puzzle loving daughter of the Snow Queen. And that’s it. Then there was Pamela Plum, daughter of Prunella (because I thought her name meant dried prunes) who had a guy whose surname meant b*ner for a boyfriend and destined prince (that was an accident).
 * Frosty Snow
 * Pamela Plum

I created many OCs in this early period in the form of drawings but only a few of them had pages and not one of them had more than a few lines of text. Several of these were based on Vietnamese fairy tales like The Crystal Heart and a variant of Cinderella called Tấm Cám.

Notable characters
Same as the first era but a few characters managed to gain decent enough development. The most successful of these was Sophia Jenkins, granddaugter of Wizard Howl. I felt she was the peak of my creativity at the time. I also created her assistant
 * Dobrya Kost
 * Sophia Jenkins
 * Cordi Orionis
 * Seelia Carventail

I pretty much went on hiatus on the wiki after this period as I was more into Monster High at the time, corresponding with when I made my first successful MHOCs.

Notable characters
I created 3 characters Samuel Gulliver, Prissy Tangled and reworked Dobrya Kost early in this era for a now defunct next gen EAH roleplay group on deviantArt, but only Sam made it to the wiki where most of his development actually began. He was a bit problematic when I started but all that was eventually pruned out as I roleplayed more and wrote more. He was the first OC I have to reach a pretty high level of development. Looking back, Sam was possibly a self-insert as he shared many of my interests and values and had minor references to some aspects in my life.
 * Samuel Gulliver
 * Bane O’Rouge
 * Rosalinde Greenwood

I also became a bit interested in folk songs after listening to the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag soundtrack too much which led to me creating several folk song based OCs. The first of these was Skipper Riley, who despite originally being planned as a main character in my cast was left in the backburner (and she still is). She also had a squad of cousins featuring characters with the surname Riley in different stories which consists of Twidget Riley, Parlous Riley and Bane O’Rouge. One of her would-be cousins, Bane O’Rouge (who changed his name for his role) rose to prominence and was soon changed to not be related to the Rileys. He was the first character who has major worldbuilding tied to him even though his story is so brief. I created a history for his cursed knife, as well as a description of his destined home. I also started to tackle more mature topics.

My first adult OC, Rosalinde Greenwood was created in this time too. Again, she also had some headcanons and worldbuilding attached to her, such as how her punishments are carried out and her status as a substitute teacher/alarm bell ghost/rescuer.

Notable Characters
This era is all about experimentation. Most pages posted during this time aren’t as developed as Sam and Bane were as I spread my focus among them. I wanted to try working with different family backgrounds as well as work on certain character concepts. Grizz (I think) was the one to kickstart this era after I adopted her from Sharky.
 * Grizzabella Penumbra
 * Mariposa Lavador
 * Prisma Moss
 * Sophinx Riddleton
 * Dipper Owlister

Some older characters, like Prissy Tangled, Parlous Riley and Sophia Jenkins are reworked into Prisma Moss, Mariposa Lavador and Morganite Bérylune. My designing skills have improved a lot since Bane’s creation and I’ve been able to establish some characters’ aesthetics which helped to make their designs more consistent.

I recently created my first true villain Sophinx Riddleton, who is also my first attempt at worldbuilding after a long time.

I started adding to a sandbox page recently to motivate myself to post more and have a place to put random ideas in until they grow into a character.
