Alvires has always been a character who's arc and design was about confidence in your sense of self and identity. This is something that I valued, as I grew up having been told how I was like this, even when for me, it wasn't always so easy. So then, I think I was in middle school, when Alvires came to be. A demoness who actually had a good nature, and had to fight to prove that. She did this despite the negative connotations that others may have at her being a demon. One of my oldest characters, but one that is one of the closest to my heart as she grew with me, and was always a role model kind of character to me. Someone I strived to be like. Alvires is unapologetically herself; brave, caring, and strong willed. And this motivates me to present myself with confidence.
