Parasol Princess - Joy Jewel

Share

I made my own oc. She's meant to be the protagonist for an indie game called Parasol Princess but since I'm not a game designer as well as the fact that I can't program to save my own life I'm sort of stuck with just making concept artwork and sketches for a game that doesn't exist.


The basic premise behind the game in question is what if you took Kirby's parasol copy ability and made an entire game around it plus a few bells and whistles here and there such as adding a few elements from various Mario games (specifically ones where Peach is playable) with the story starting off with a simple premise (at the start of the story) around the idea that a well meaning princess who's completely in over her head goes on an adventure to save her fiancé who has been kidnapped with the aid of a magic parasol her mother gave her that Joy assumes is some kind of family heirloom passed on from generation to generation. On the way she ends up meeting various other characters including other princess's she saves along the way. The story might also tackle some themes of ableism and bigotry here and there but it's a little too early to say for now.


The idea behind her is that she's meant to be a more comedic take on the damsel in distress to heroine trope you see but instead of starting off helpless and becoming a cool girlboss (I already have another character in the same story who technically fills that role as a rival) she's a well meaning butt completely in over her head girlfailure who inexplicably ends up saving the day (at least at the start of the story, it is a little too early to say).


Joy is described by others as a sweet, kind and bubbly but also extremely sheltered, kind of dumb and sometimes even annoying princess who, while usually well liked amongst others isn't exactly respected by others due to how often she got kidnapped in the past (she's lost count too) and also probably has something to do with ableism due to her autism as well (not every autistic character has to be a genius nerd you know). A big reason she goes on her quest aside from saving her prince is that she thinks it'll also get people to finally respect her and not see her as a joke including her older sister who's joining her on her adventure.
