Moth: Ideas for characters generally start off with finding something that is visually appealing and adding my own mix. Solaris and Menrva came from the idea of sisters who are completely opposite, I had a vampire phase which is why Akel was made and Mythos was my take on a gunslinger, Aegis was just a shield girl and I just wanted to make a bow girl.
Siuwa: ideal teammates weren't something that I thought about, possibly for Akel would be someone that wouldn't mind Akel's antics, which includes her playful affectionate side as well as her combat enthusiastic side. I don't really have much thought for my other students because I haven't used them enough to think who they would work well with.
