Interpretation:
- Hopi channels positive energy in his demeanour, has a strong and bright personality
- Rather aloof and quiet around people, but more emotionally open to animals
- Naive but speaks of the righteous pathway
- His motive is to advocate new perspective to the villagers regarding the repercussions of their whaling tradition from an environmentalist perspective
- Challenge is to show dimensionality of Hopi within the limitation of the low-poly aesthetic

Lilo is a suitable inspiration for the character design considering that she lives close to beaches and her traits are quite similar to that of Hopi's.

Hopi's character realisation is conveyed through exaggerated distribution of force and energy:
- gives a rough idea on how he will be animated
- outstretched poses to explore his extremes
- calm poses to show dimensionality within the character

Rosie requested for the villagers to be based on Hopi's design. Below is the mock up sketches I've done for her. My main considerations are the villagers' outfits and basic-shape silhouette as variations in the designs enhance realism in the aesthetic.
