New progress report! 

Me and Andreina settled on names that we like, FINALLY!

Basically we knew we wanted names that had some sort of meaning, even though no one would care to search them up, it would've been a cute detail to put in. In class, we searched up girl names that symbolized death. There were multiple names that were cute, but overall to used. We really wanted a name that would be simple, a little uncommon, and have a meaning of loss. We narrowed it down to around 3 names but eventually chose "Adalia" since it was a name that we could envision our actor having.

Obviously, this character will be the one that passes.

For our other character, we either wanted to have a normal name, or also a symbolic one. On one side, having a "normal" name with no meaning could mean that Adalia's name would symbolize the both, showing that the plot really focuses on her, but having the other character's name also symbolize something could shape some of her personality and show that she's more than just Adalia's friend. 

Me and Andreina went to search names that symbolized hope, perseverance, willpower, or an overall strong meaning meant to show how persistent the character is. We saw the name "Aurora", saw that it meant dawn and the light of a new beginning, and knew we wanted to use that one. I also felt like their names being somewhat similar could give extra feeling that the characters were extremely close, like family but not by blood. 

For other side characters, their names will have no significance and probably just be simple to focus the audience on the main characters. However, we've decided that everyone in the opening's styles will be different based on relationships and personalities. For example, Aurora's style will be completely different from Adalia's, but her style will be similar to her other friends. Adalia's mom and grandma will have similar styles and personalities, but will differ from Aurora's mom and grandma. 

However, since Adalia's a special character, her style will have a meaning behind it. I was planning that Adalia and Aurora's characteristics and mannerisms could be somewhat similar to show their closeness and have Adalia's change slowly but enough for the audience, and Aurora, to see. 

Until next time!
