Daisy is a lingering ghost who is obsessed with the living and is unable to accept her own mortality. When designing Daisy, I wanted to strike a balance between her ghostly nature and her innocence. I gave her big, expressive eyes to reflect her obsession with observing the life around her, but intentionally left her without features like a mouth to make her look slightly off-putting and to reflect how she no longer has a say in the world around her. The simplicity of her design has both a story and production purpose- she is the essence of a person who used to exist, so her design reflects the simplicity of a soul while her clear arcs make her very fast to animate. Her overall design and shape language is meant to resemble flower petals to represent her connection to the flora. Daisy’s coloration also changes throughout the film- when she’s content, her gradient is a bright cyan, and when she’s sad, she turns to a pale blue.
