Cosmos - The Town of Myths

[Tora Olafsdotter]

After some debating I am scrapping the 'Winter' part of Iceberg. After giving it more thought, I realized just how out of place Drago and Phoebe were. So, while it was a hard decision, I decided to make it just a 'myth and legends' themed town. This was a hard decision to make, but I feel like this was a good call. The theme of the town will be myths, legends, and other classic stories like that. In addition, I needed to change the name, due to well....it not fitting anymore. I decided to go with Cosmos, for its mystical sound. Plus with Usagi as the mayor it really fits

Right now I have plans to have:
Drago - Lazy - Dragon (Starter)
Phoebe - Tomboy - Phoenix
Julian - Flamboyant - Unicorn
Inkwell - Jock - Kraken
Hopper - Cranky - ??? (Starter) (Got him as a starter and don't have the nerve to kick him out as he's my favorite villager)
Fauna - Normal - Bambi (Starter)
Hans - Flamboyant - Yeti (I personally believe it's real, but it still counts as a legend)
Mira - Tomboy - Rabbit of the Moon and Sailor Moon
Epona - Peppy - Legend of Zelda
Diana? - Snooty - Wonder Woman?

I am not sure about Diana though. I am not that big on very many Snooty villagers and she's really the only one I like who could fit the theme in any way aside from Ankha who is going to live in my ethnicities town so she's out on this one. What do you think, is Diana representing Wonder Woman a good idea?

Also, if anyone is curious, Fauna and Hopper are only going to stay because they were starters. I found a reason Fauna can fit in, still can't think of an excuse for Hopper, but I can't bring myself to kick him out.

For snooty if you don't want Diana, here is some other ideas that may work...

Freya - Norse Mythology Goddess of love, beauty, fertility, gold, war, and death.

Friga - Norse goddess "Frigg" who was the wife of Odin. She is the goddess of foreknowledge and wisdom.

Blaire, Mint or Pecan - Could represent Ratatoskr, who in Norse mythology is a squirrel that carries messages up and down world tree Yggdrasil. Tho Ratatoskr might be male it could still fit with just representation with any squirrel.

Broffina, Becky - Could represent a Cockatrice, which is a mythological creature with 2 legs and a body of a dragon or serpent and the head of a rooster. Basically a 2 legged dragon with a chicken head.

Going out on a limb and saying Hooper, being a penguin and associated with cold, would loosely represent Norse Mythology even tho penguins are in Antarctica and not the arctic circle.

After more consideration and thinking, I think I may go with Amelia as a Thunderbird. Also, it's not that I don't want Diana, I think she looks cool, it's just that the only real connection she had to the theme is that she shared the same name as Wonder Woman. That's literally it.

Amelia is cool too! I like the thunderbird idea

Amelia is good, but I really like that Freya suggestion.

Also sorry for suggestions only Norse mythology. Its my favorite and Snooties are hard to work with lol

 

[Tora Olafsdotter]

Amelia is good, but I really like that Freya suggestion.

I'll probobly just go with whichever of the two I get access to first.

I say go with whatever makes you happy The Amelia Thunderbird idea is pretty solid

Just throwing my 2 cents here: Diana is actually based on the Greek mythology, as the goddess Artemis (whose roman name is Diana) is the goddess of hunters and frequently transformed into a doe.
So she still fits as myth. Wonder Woman just happens to also be based on the same goddess, which is why they share a name. They ended up being very different characters though the origin is the same, haha.
