Kristen BanksI have made a few changes to Kristeen Banks to make her look more pirate while still keeping her indigenous image. And overall I really love her new look! Fierce, pirate, but still staying true to her native roots.
To give a little background, The tribe that Kristeen is from is made up of five native American tribes that originated from earth after “they” uncovered the portal leading to Zecara. The five tribes united to form the Songaa tribe, a mighty nation that colonized the lands of Zecara. “This is why the designs of her attire, though inspired by the art of different tribes, is a Fantasy design for the Songaa.”
Native American culture has always fascinated me, and although each tribe operated under their own culture and rules, I’ve always respected how all of them took care of the land they were citizens of, and how friendly and neighborly they were towards those of other cultures, even if they were from the same nation that had done them wrong.
There is always something new I’m learning from native Americans. So I will continue my research and hopefully I can finally create a story thatindigenous people can finally feel comfortable with
Forgotten Stars is a sci-fi series, and takes place on the world that was colonized by many cultures from earth. But just as Americans, British, Asians, French, and many other cultures have their futuristic stories to tell in this series, I wanted to include a Native American nation into the mix so that their future stories could be told too. Because their culture is one that should never be forgotten.Dec 18, 2022
