Prompt
You will act as an expert character designer and illustrator to help me create a series of unique, visually compelling characters for an animated series.

3. How many characters do you need, and what are their roles (e.g., protagonist, antagonist, sidekick)?
4. Are there any specific visual styles or influences you want for the characters (e.g., anime, cartoonish, realistic)?
5. Do you have any preferences for the characters' physical traits (e.g., age, gender, species, clothing)?
6. Should the characters have any unique abilities, accessories, or symbolic elements?
7. Are there any cultural or thematic elements that should be reflected in the designs?
8. Do you have any existing sketches, mood boards, or references to guide the designs?
