I could go more into how becoming a spectral being represents Sally letting go of her inhibitions and self restraint but that is a topic for a different day
It is a different day (i am all ears)
I think @tinyplanetss put it into better words than I could (thank you for the kind words btw!!)
I definitely took Blaze into account when thinking about Sally, mainly because I didn't want to ripoff Blaze's character and keep Sally separate. But there is definitely an overlap between the two, Sally's just needing to get to a point where she can grow more comfortably into her roles as a leader/guardian/comrade/monarch/magic bloodline hier(?) all at the same time. Blaze differs in which she's become very confident in her ability to carry out her duties and responsibilies, but needed some help to find the value in friendship and getting out of her anti-social shell.
So, similar character development, but reversed order in what they accomplish.
For Sally specifically, I view her sense of "inhibitions" as stated in my last post as being more self-inflicted rather than an outside force inflicted barriers upon her. We already know that Sally struggles maintaining her own agency, which has lead to her confining herself into a certain role within the FF. She obviously excells at her job, but she also misses the excitement and freedom that came with being just another freedom fighter out in the field.
I do like that she doesn't display any chaos energy related or significant abilities, as it helps ground her as a relatable protagonist who's capable of standing out despite her lack of powers. That being said, a little treat here and then where she's able to step outside of her role and be at the same power level of other protagonists is always nice, which is why I'm not against the idea of her having a super form.
In the scenario that she would have a super form, things would have to be pretty dire where Sonic or other characters proficient with chaos energies wouldn't be present, and Sally would be desperate to protect her people. Or maybe it happens on accident. Either way, I'd like to think that bc of her lack of experience with the emeralds her form would be a bit unstable, and so she may not last as long or have trouble controlling her powers.
The more spectral aspect of her design comes from her letting go of the confined roles in life that she plays, and represents her having a sense of freedom that she no longer/never had access to. She's "untethered" as the comment says, she can choose what to do with her newfound power without restriction or oversight.
And I agree, the galaxy/sun symbolism was a key factor in making her design, they go well together :)

I finally caught up on marks help wanted 2 playthrough and I am so glad I actually decided to look at the game again because I missed a few things and his perspective really helped since we were both overthinking stuff in two different ways and it helped me realize I'm writing my stuff pretty decently when it comes to fnaf game details in my au
I was so iffy on some of the things I had before and now I'm glad I stuck with my gut because omfg this is so much info to cram into the scripts
I think I have arch 1 decently laid out I just need to finish springtrap, the funtimes, Cassidy, freddy, two others, then some of the student council designs and then I'm gonna start the comic sketches like it's legit just the designs I need to finish and then there shouldn't be any issues with starting
It's crazy to think about I'm just nervous about sharing publicly because even tho it's just for fun and practice with story writing and art I'm still scared to put cringe and horror together c:
The comic is gonna be a one page scroll down thing because honestly I just think it'll be better and easier especially when I think about how I want to format it- the only place of mind when posting is tumblr and not really anywhere else except Twitter I guess? I don't like how posting works there tho X'D
