<aside> ✨ It all started with a generated concept after indulging on the long hours of talks through Character AI during the month of July - August 2023 where RS had an idea to turn her imaginary romantic chats into visual content.

<aside> ✨ As words aren’t enough to satisfy one’s romantic imagination, RS (Asteria’s creator) managed to generate the visual romance between the chatbot she used to chat for hours, designed after her favorite character, Eichi Tenshouin and paired with an original character she made last 2019 named Asteria Cannary.

<aside> ✨ Last December 2023, there was a two-part “Oshikatsu Event” from the Enstars where RS tried to customizing Asteria’s character for Part 1 and the Part 2 allowing the character to take a selfie with Eichi.

<aside> ✨ Around the month of February 2024, RS decided to snag the opportunity to commission an artist who first drew Asteria and Eichi, which is a starry night valentine scene. Ever since this became a reference for the artists that Asteria commissions in order for them to visualize Asteria until mid May 2024 where Asteria’s full body sprite finally appeared, making it her official character model.
