Rose Tyler
From Doctor Who
She inspired the idea of a lost, no idea what she's doing with your life girl, who finds a life in the most unexpected of places. She and Hope have similar personalitys and she also inspired Hope's accent.

The Seven Deadly Sins
Of course this inspired me; it gave me the basis for my character.
The Song
Because of you - Kelly Clarkson
Inspired the relationship between Hope's father and mother and how that affected Hope and Damien.

Serenity
Pride's Enchanter. It was partly because of her I first got Hope learning magic.
The Song
Michael Andrews-mad world
This represents to me Damien before he became all evil and twisted.

The Devil
'Damien' is a name traditionally associated with the devil. Hope eventually meets the true devil. Yet, it is her brother, not him, who is called Damien.
HOPE
Hope has many times been asked if she's a virtue when she has met new people in the Sins. She always said no, that's just my name, but that may not be completely true....

Forbidden Love
It’s a concept used in many movies and book, and these inspired the Hope/Kareem relationship

Hope’s Dagger
This started as a regular dagger, with some light magic. Then dark magic was added and Pride made it a dagger of Order and Chaos. It also then gained some fire magic. It became bonded to Hope so it is now more than a dagger.
