Sophia and GDBot are the mascots I designed for GDQuest. They are being used as sample characters in the tutorials too.
GDQuest is a tutorial project for Godot: https://www.gdquest.com/
Godot is a free and open source video game engine: https://godotengine.org/
Sophia’s hairstyle is based on the Godot’s robot head logo, taking inspiration from the 4 gear teeth on its head. Her hair color is derived from Godette, an earlier anthropomorphized character by the Godot community based on the logo. The names of Sophia and GDBot were given by the GDQuest maintainer Nathan.
Although Sophia’s name and her concepts were not my ideas, by coincidence, I found out later that I did have a forgotten original character who shared most of the concepts. Her is also a human girl named Sophia with blue hair, only her hairstyle being twin tail. She also has a pet robot and carries a laptop with her all the time. I rediscovered my own Sophia when I was searching in my computer for “sophia” to find out where I saved GDQuest Sophia’s source files. And I was pleasantly surprised by also finding my own Sophia in the result.
I might give Sophia a role in my original projects, Electric Hearts and Spirit Animals in Disguise.
