Chibi Shard-guys (and gals)

[Eri she/her]

If I could draw, I'd probably do a comic about Ruin and Preservation someday... Thinking about that, I've realized that I have pretty detailed ideas about how the Shard-guys look. I don't mean hair color etc (it's in the book) but style and expressions. And, since I was thinking about a non-serious, funny kind of comic, it's not very cannon. In fact, totally un-cannon, but fun.

How I imagine them:

Ruin - crazy/happy face with big, sharp teeth (like happy Zimmy from Gunnerkrigg Court), maniacal laughter, messy hair, likes to eat kittens. Always running somewhere, looking for something to destroy / eat / break.

Preservation - seems nice, a bit silent or shy, good liar, evil twinkle in the eyes when he's lying ("Hi, Ati. Look, what a nice well. I'm sure there are some kittens inside...)", big sense of responsibility ("I had to lock my brother it this stupid well, I did it for the mankind..."). Kind of a good/well-intentioned (depends on how you look at it) mastermind.

Endownment - a girl, long, wavy hair (chestnut or blonde, I'm not sure), lots of rainbows, unicorns and animated GIFs around. Sweet, flirty but not in a vulgar or indecent way. Loves to give everyone sweets and cherries. Calls everyone "darling" or "sweethart".

Odium - a creepy guy, the kind you see in those ads telling you not to give your personal info to strangers. Greasy hair, not very clean t-shirt with some offensive "joke", likes to stalk everyone else and sometimes backstab them. Good at manipulating people, likes to make them argue with each other. Simply - a troll and stalker.

Honor - Brittish accent, noble manners, no sense of humor. A sword or something like that, maybe.

Cultivation - farmer girl, overall trousers, flanel shirt, boots covered with mud, straw hat. Shotgun. Chickens. Hates tresspassers (esp. Odium) and shoots them. Shouts at people much (mostly "get away form my land / chicken / whatever!") but can be nice and motherly. Personality of an older sister.

Devotion and Dominion - no idea, I don't have Elantris and don't remember enough of it.

Do you also imagine them sometimes in some funny / mundane / other interesting way? If yes, how?

I'm picturing Cultivation poking homeless people with a rake and telling them to shape up and improve themselves. And then putting them to work on her farm.
