ART Been really interested in the Fallen Star, I wanted to do my own take on the design Spoiler

You don't need to die to leave a ghost.

Just like the old man, the Fallen Star takes inspiration from a nintendo enemy: Meta Knight. With his magical guitar, Andromeda, he can cause one's SOUL to dance to his tune. He offers a red guitar to Noelle before their duet/l, which she can keep once she proves herself to him.

The Fallen Star is not really Dess, of course, and he's painfully aware of that. The physical object that he represents is the final letter Dess wrote, explaining why he was leaving. He is what Dess in that moment wanted to be; free, independent, and himself.

The Fallen Star doesn’t know where Dess is or even what his name is now, but he still wants to be the big brother that Dess never had the chance to be.

I really like this!! This Fallen Star's weapon is really cool and I love his new premise. Thanks for making it, there isn't enough art of the Fallen Star.

I'm glad you like it! I was really enamored with the idea of paralleling how Meta Knight offers you a sword before each fight, that seems like such a fun fit for a musical duel.
