Early on in the process of character design, I essentially broke down aspects of my own character as base aspects of my list of characters to build on. The first characteristics I came to were my need to please other people, and my underlying senses of frustration at everything. The first became Tasha, and the second became Hriva. From that, I built the characteristics of Hriva, but at the design stage, I wondered how she would look. What would her species be? Who would she have been before and after the apocalypse? I have quite some knowledge on Norse mythology, so I decided to make her a Valkyrie, and from that, previous to the apocalypse, a goth (since Valkyries are orientated around death). After the apocalypse, she fits into being a strategist, since Valkyries are also linked to battle.
