>some people say it was with astra, but again, music being "tech/magic" was already a 1.0 idea.
I would still say it's Astra. Even if she's fits the music theme she does so in an uninspired way (Generic chink idol) with an equally boring design. Plus Evelyn only exists because the devs realized Astra would be a 1-person faction and had to push out something to pair with her. A yuribait body guard with a shallow dark past (So shallow they're just called "The Organization") who's entire character boils down to orbiting the genki girl that "Saved" her. You can quite literally imagine the corporate meeting where they came up with her concept. But in the end both those characters did well enough thanks to yuribait and (You) omnipandering. From there the snowball starts rolling as the designers stick to what they learned works, getting us things like SSanby's design and everything with Shifu.
