Volume 3:

When you wish upon a star

The Plot: 


Only few have ever heard the legend of the stars that are among us. As our story goes, every time someone wishes upon a star that beautiful flaming rock falls to earth as a human soul.

Meet Nova, Castro, Delta and Atlas. Four shooting stars who were granted their souls by the dreamers below.

Meet the Vol3 stars

  • A woman with long, wavy hair wearing a red floral jacket and a star-shaped headband, surrounded by floating bubbles and iridescent streamers in the background.

    Delta

    Delta’s spirit dove from the galaxy with gusto and she landed with her fierce drive and middle finger intact.

    While adventurous and determined, Delta always moved with intention. She believed in taking risks and second chances and could resist anything but temptation.

  • A woman with dark skin wearing a gold starburst headpiece, gold glitter eye makeup, dangling earrings, and a brown outfit with a floral pattern. She carries a small, fluffy white bag over her shoulder and stands against a plain white background.

    Castro

    Castro was sweet-natured and open-hearted. She fell to earth like glitter and moved through time and space like a fond memory.

    With an itch for adventure and lust for purpose, Castro knew this party started once she made her entrance.

  • A woman with dark curly hair sits cross-legged on a pink satin cloth, wearing a pink silk robe and brown pants. She has a gold halo headpiece behind her head, with her hands in a meditative pose. Behind her is a pink metallic curtain, and a disco ball rests on her right side.

    Atlas

    Curious by nature and generous by habit, Atlas was the kind of friend everyone wishes for. She was loyal to the fault and never short on grace.

    Atlas craves substance, depth, and harmony none more than her own. Because if there’s one thing she’s gonna do, is protect her peace.

  • Person wearing a long, blue patterned raincoat with a hood, standing on cream-colored fabric with glitter, high heels, and her hand covering her face.

    Nova

    Queen of the celestial jungle, Nova fell from the stars like her path was a runway. She was passionate in her pursuits, generous with her time, and extra with the rest.

    Nova came to this earth with one mission: do it bigger and better than the rest.
