Design Bible Sheets

The non negotiable foundation, proportions, posture, and silhouette rules that keep Ladybird consistent across every scene.

• What this locks in: body proportions, coat length, stance language.
• What to look for: the “anchor shapes” that never change, even in motion.
• Canon note: this is the baseline for all future variants (gear, missions, era shifts).

Acting is where characters become real. This sheet defines Ladybird’s emotional range and the facial rules that keep her recognizable.

• What this locks in: brow shapes, mouth rules, eye intensity at each emotion.
• What to look for: the difference between “anger” and “determination”, subtle but huge.
• Canon note: her smirk is a power signal, not comedy, controlled, precise.

Hands communicate character faster than dialogue. This sheet maps Ladybird’s gesture vocabulary, authority, precision, and tech manipulation.

• What this locks in: signature gestures, pointing style, “teaching hand”, defensive tells.
• What to look for: her hands are deliberate, she does not “flail”, she directs.
• Canon note: “Time Prism handling” reads as ritual + control.

Curly hair can quietly break continuity. This sheet defines the anchor curls, bun placement, braid behavior, and the “never change” structure.

• What this locks in: silhouette from every angle, curl clusters, flyaway logic.
• What to look for: consistent bun center, consistent curl rhythm on the forehead.
• Canon note: styles signal mode: academy, mission, formal, or “hologram ready”.

Lighting is story. This sheet tests how Ladybird reads under daylight, candlelight, moonlight, prism glow, and dramatic tech conditions.

• What this locks in: shadow placement, “prism glow” behavior, facial planes.
• What to look for: how her values shift while staying recognizable.
• Canon note: prism glow is sacred tech, luminous but controlled, not neon chaos.

Objects tell truth. This sheet defines the Time Prism, field kit items, holster placement, and how hands interact with the tools in motion.

• What this locks in: prop silhouettes, scale, wear logic, carry systems.
• What to look for: “Multi Tool Scanner” reads as utility, not weapon, a story instrument.
• Canon note: gear supports her role as protector of history, not a fighter for spectacle.
