Hello Awesome Visitors! Welcome to another episode of ... The characters I will be speaking about in Part 3 come from The Concordant Vibrancy collection. If you have missed parts 1 and 2, then click on the links below: The Characters of My Universe (part 1) The Characters of My Universe (part 2) In short, the Concordant Vibrancy collection is centered around the elements.

Part Three will focus on my characters in the Concordant Vibrancy collection. Part One Read more here . The first character up for discussion i
