I have been doing idols on my internship work, so I'll going to ramble about them... a little maybe.
The Folktown Girls
About:
The
Folktown girls are a group of Folk Music musicians that often performs
on on Twilight Immortal. It consist of 3 Members Uno Harriebotten (the
Horse) [middle], Babette Shepard (the Sheep) [left], and Holly Van
Bolivinna (the Cow) [right]. Out of these 3 Uno is the only one who
passed the test as a devotee.
History:
They grew up on A
farmland area in Froqie City. They were once a member of a famous Idol
Group known as McRoyland Farmyard Cuties, the name taken from their
senior highschool name. There used to be 6 member on the group but after
5 years of national fame and half of their member already start doing
business of their own, they began to quit the idol world all together.
One faithful day, Uno met them on Sunrise City (which is a different
part of the continent) exactly at Twilight Immortal. The three then
start having a new gigs of their own as each has suprisingly grew fond
of folk music.
Members:
Uno Harriebotten
After
the end of her idol career she started her college years, She gained
public attention after winning the Froqie City Cross Country Marathon
Run, as some sort cleaning up her father's name since his defeat years
ago. After a while she met one of the wandering Heralds of the Archeon,
amazed that the Herald had walked thousand of miles, she soon flies to
Sunrise City to became a Devotee on her own will. She is also a regular
on Twilight Immortal, appearing twice a week... minus performing that
is.
Babette Shepard
After the end of the idol group's life,
she came back to her hometown in Farmetheria City on Districant
Continent (a different continent). Years after working on her family
farmland, she tries to spread her wings on Sunrise City vegetable retail
industries. She live in an apartment not far from Twilight Immortal.
She later joined as a devotee after meeting a certain Herald with a good
voice.
Holly Van Bolivinna
Last but not least of the
member, she came to her family company as become the general manager of
certain cereal industry on Froqie City. She later move on to work on the
hotel business on Sunrise City. Apparently, one night she met Babette
and Uno on Twilight Immortal. During that night, she saw a live
performance by one of the devotee and got enticed by their skill on
using instruments. She later joined the shrine and quit her job... but
rumor said that she sells the hotel to someone higher...
Concept and Behind The Scenes:
I
made Uno first since... to be honest, she's based from the oldest
drawing I did that I can remember... an abstract horse of misshapen
forms, it was very old and is drawn on God know where... Point is, it
has lost in time, but it DOES looks like any child drawing you could
imagine. She's been going through many change, but I decided to make her
like that... Later, I thought of adding a dash of Uma Musume element.
But of course, I don't like NORMAL horse race... So, her last name came
from the worst racer on Japan World Cup... The Haribote Elegy (the
cardboard box horse.)... Soooo.... yeahhhhh.... That's also why she goes
to the cross country race....
As for the others, I kinda just make
Uno as a point of reference, so I took the Old McDoland had a farm kind
of tropes and... viola, there they are. There are other member of their
old groups but I decided that they aren't worth as much as these 3...
As for WHY they are folk musician, I kind of get the idea after hearing Disenchantment's Opening theme... A LOT recently...
Their
first concept art weren't made by my original style, instead, they come
up from a random idea I had while fiddling around a "certain japanese
dress up game" where I made the 6 of them and start having ideas about
idols in Deus Devote's universe.
Reason of Being Cut/Lessen:
They
doesn't really fiddle with the main storylines... Let alone they didn't
have much interaction between "other devotees" well, except those on
the shrine... and on lower ranks. However, since they DO perform on
Twilight Immortal, they possibly know the looks of the "higher ranks"
but even so, they don't have much interest to intervene or interact to
the main story what so ever.
