Isabella Zhang Story Pitch and Character Research

1. In the year 3000, 99% of the humans were eliminated by a disaster which happened due to the damage they did to the Earth. Some human survivors were infected by the altered magnetic field of the recovering Earth, which resulted in a slight change in their DNA - they started having supernatural powers.

2. There is a parallel universe that most of the humans were unaware of. However, the main character can sense their existence and she/he is curious about what is on the other side.

3. When the main character was giving up, he/she accidentally discovered that the government actually consists of workers from both worlds and they are blocking the information related to another universe to keep peace on both sides. The main character, very angry.

4. All of a sudden, a child of a human and a ghost (let's just call the other side ghost first) mutated into a ginormous titan and it can be seen by people from both universes. Both sides used their technology/weapon to defend their home and eventually killed it

5. Now, it is clear that both universes know that they are not alone in this world. The government was overthrown by a group that the main character was leading and two universes are living peacefully together.

Alternative Story Pitches:
1:
1. A stray cat got picked up by a human girl, she took good care of him for 7 years.

2. Some guys were bugging the girl, the cat saved her but got killed by the guys.

3. The cat got a chance to be reborn into a tiger, tried to go back to the girl but he is just scaring her away.

4. The tiger decides to learn to speak human language, walk bipedally and dress up like a human being. He is willing to do all of these in order to go back to the girl again and repay her.

5. He is finally able to communicate with the girl and she was happy and accepted him in his new form. They opened a cat hotel which has more cats and living a peaceful life together

2:
1. A shark was raised in a swimming pool previously for humans. He was very sad and lonely and he is depressed because he needs someone to love him.

2. One day, a small innocent sheep got lost and entered the backyard which the pool is at and the shark saw her.

3. The shark is hungry for fresh meat, he jumped out of the water and tried to attack the sheep. However, the sheep dodged it due to an involuntary reflex and the shark was dying because it couldn't go back to the water. The innocent sheep then pushes the shark back into the water, not knowing that she almost got killed by him.

4. The shark, however, immediately fell in love with this gentle, soft "lady" and wants to get into a relationship with her. Sadly, this relationship is hardly ever going to work due to both the environments they live in and the language they speak.

5. The shark gets even more depressed while thinking about it, ultimately he jumps out of the water again and bit the sheep's neck. The poor sheep dies from bleeding and the shark ate her. However, the shark couldn't swim back into the water again so he eventually dies with the sheep, due to dehydration.

Inspirations


Cultural (or character) Clothing Ideas: traditional clothing from New Zealand/Turkmenistan/Libyan/Palestinian Traditional 




Architecture Ideas: African huts/Mongolian yurts, based on the traditional design, alter it a little bit so it differs from the past. In other words, a bit more futuristic.

Character Traits: 
Kind, independent, unobtrusive, manly, selfish (when it is putting her life at risk), mature, sometimes very mad
