No problem :
During the events of Xeris, Talia is supposed to be 7, while Izira is 16.
And for the main boys :
Most of the teenager in the show are between 15 to 17 years.
Gramorr is much older… how much ? Even we don’t know…
In today’s post :

Here are a few character model sheet and posings from episode 02, including our princesses training outfits, missy’s minions, and, a fan-bonus : the model sheet of lil’ Usagi we hid in the show, as a tribute. ;) (We do love Sailor Moon after all, don’t we ?)
As a reminder, near each posing is the corresponding storyboard panel.
A lot of you asked us for separated versions of the Sailor Moon styled LoliRock princesses, drawn by Marco Albiero
Well, here they are ! And with the line version as a bonus !
Thanks Marco, once again ! ;) Enjoy ! (and see the original poster here).

As Aunt Ellen’s house was supposed to be a “big and old house”, Talia and Auriana’s room were initially thought to be “rearranged” room, that were not bedroom initially.
Talia settled on Aunt Ellen’s main library, while Auriana chose to settle in the attic room.
However, due to changes and evolution, in the end Auriana’s room is pretty much like Iris’ one, except more orange and with different stuff to show her tastes : a lot of plushies, and several music instruments from around the world.
Talia stayed in the library, but we made the room cleaner and more blue than what was initially drawn. See the ceiling however ? Every room in the house had this kind of wood pattern at the beginning. Our producers felt if would make the house too old, so we removed it nearly everywhere. It also made the background slightly easier to create. ;)

It is just an observation, but I think the princesses represents the four classic elements.
Aurianna- related to moon and stars, which are light bringers can allude fire.
Talia-her symbol is a diamond and her theme is blue so she can represent water.
Lyna- She uses levitation and flight, tells me right off the bat that she might represent air.
Carissa- uses magic when in direct contact with her fist. She uses hand to hand combat with magic and is seen crushing huge rocks with her powers so she can be earth.
Iris- is the fifth element quintessence, capable to uniting all four elements and provide life. The very manifestation of energy.
Another interesting note is that it somehow follows Sailor Moon though not exactly. the blue(sailor Mercury) and red/orange (Sailor Mars) comes to aid the princess (Sailor Moon) in the first few episodes. Then they were soon joined by a green one (Sailor Jupiter) and the last member (this time violent). This is justan observation, heck if LoliRock continues to rock our world we might as well get 10 princesses :)
Eh, that’s a very interesting theory. :)
Truth is, Jean-Louis Vandestoc indeed thought of each girl as an element, quite like you describe above (except that Iris would be referred as “Light/Holy” element, as opposed to Gramorr’s “Dark” element).
But that’s not all : when thinking of our princesses, his other reference was chess ! Now, each princess does not correspond to each piece, but it was more a philosophical reference : in chess, each piece has its skills and specific use : the knight can’t do the same things as the tower, etc. Yet, you need to use properly all the pieces to win the game. He wanted the princesses to complete each other this way.
As a reminder, we gave specialties to our princesses at the start of the show :
Auriana (and the Voltan people) is the best when it comes to defense with very strong shields. Talia (and the Xerin people) is a tactician and uses elaborate skill to trick the opponent rather than pure power. Iris (as the princess of Ephedia, and like other Ephedian people) is on the other hand more offensive and powerful than any other princesses, but somehow lack control and need to learn a lot of skills : she needs help from the others.
Now, it’s not really always obvious in the show, and clearly depends on the episodes, but having a team was Jean-Louis’s intention.
