Minecraft Characterization Notes

I've rewatched all the trailers and content I could find/exists (as of November 2022) that contains Steve, Alex, and any of the new characters to take notes on their characterization and quirks :] Information is taken from the playlist of animated trailers in the official Minecraft YouTube channel, caves and cliffs: the musical, and the announcement video from MineCon live. If I've missed anything, please let me know!

First up, Alex. They're first and foremost an explorer, always eager to dive into a new adventure. This manifests as a slight lack of impulse control, but things tend to work out in their favor anyways due to their natural luck. Their hunts give them pretty things to decorate with, feeding their apparent desire for aesthetics. They tend to take on a leadership role in most situations, either by taking charge when exploring with their best friend Steve, or directing the other players. Despite this, they're also a goofball at heart and have a penchant for practical jokes. They seem to have good storytelling skills and talent with redstone.

Next is the original, Steve. They're far more cautious than Alex, which is a good thing given their bouts of both klutziness and misfortune. They often have their head in the clouds and get absorbed into tasks, which results in them startling easily. They're practical by nature and tend to do more by-the-book mining. They love most animals and creatures but are scared of goats. Despite their sweeter, milder nature, they're just as much of a hardened, competent warrior as Alex is (especially when not caught off-guard).

Sunny is the first of the new characters I'll cover. They're a bit reckless but mean well (they heedlessly ran into the deep dark after a chicken). They later recounted this tale as a show of bravado, claiming to have escaped from the warden alive with the chicken (but it's unclear how true that is). Although they seem to enjoy living fast, they also like to slow down and enjoy some time boating on the water (though they may have just been keeping watch for Efe).

Wherever Sunny goes, Efe is sure to be close. They followed Sunny into the deep dark and aided in the recounting, but seemed to mostly play a secondary role in that situation. That's not to say they're any less attracted to danger—we see them fighting a hoard of drowned, using a Trident while underwater to do so. They appear to do this solely for the fun of it as Sunny keeps watch above (perhaps they're not supposed to be this adrenaline-seeking but choose to do so anyways?). Despite their brave nature, they get startled and run from a creeper immediately after. In the chase, they skillfully take to riding a pig at high speeds without a pause to mount up. This shows off their notable athletic prowess.

The last of the new characters to receive significant development is Noor. They're lower-energy than either Sunny or Efe, but not sedate. Their curious nature shines through. They also appear to be more observant than the others, noticing when Steve and Alex came back through the nether portal in the distance as well as the nearby Allay. While they love many creatures (catching a tadpole in a bucket and then later releasing it in a nice location), they have a particular affinity for allays and recall their experiences with the creatures fondly. They tend towards reminiscing and nostalgia. They're a practical person—they brought a bucket and spyglass on their boating trip, not just glowberries to snack on.

The remaining four do not have as many scenes or development, but I will do my best to get as much information from their scenes as possible. (Some of the following may appear to be a stretch for this reason)

The most developed of those who remain is Makena. They're first seen farming as Zuri runs by while being chased. They later show up again with an elytra, making skilled flight maneuvers to return the redstone torch to Alex. Seeing a problem and deciding to help speaks to a helpful and compassionate nature, and their flying abilities show their agile physical abilities.

As previously mentioned, Zuri was running from a creeper. They appear easily startled. Their coordination leaves something to be desired when they're distressed, so they are not likely a warrior.

Ari is another player seen flying with elytra. They accidentally stole Alex's redstone torch but dropped it when trying to activate a rocket to turn around. They appear to mean well but do not have the best hand-eye coordination.

The final character is Kai. Very little is known about them at this time, as their only animated appearance shows them farming. They're slouched over in the introductory promotion image and one might assume they're laid-back or lackadaisical, but that's conjecture at this point.

Someone in the YouTube comments on a reupload of the clip from MineCon Live went through and determined which characters were right or left handed.

[Image ID: A screenshot of a YouTube comment on dark mode. The comment is from SomeBodyKarens1 and has three likes. The comment reads: Freezing the frame on when they are all holding redstone torches (aside from Efe who is on a pig) I believe their dominant hands are as follows.

Zuri: right.

Sunny: Right.

Noor: Left.

Makena: ambidextrous (Even though holding a torch in the right hand, in the scene when running they are holding a bucket in their left).

Kai: right.

Efe: left.

Ari: right. End image ID]

(Part 2) MC Skins! Sorry Kai got the short end of the stick, there wasn’t enough room on the original page for them. Perhaps I’ll draw them separately another time.

And Efe! My favorite of the new skins! Just saw their design and immediately loved them.

Once again, there’s additional pics to show the original skin as well for comparison. :)

week 1

THEY HAVE NAMES FINALLY!!

[allykatsart]

Minecraft added some new player characters! I wanted to draw them and how I perceive them, mostly based on their skins. Makena, Efe, and Noor are some of my favorites of the new ones! Alex is mainly here so I could get the style right!

(Headcannons below)

Alex and Steve thought they were the only two of their species before they ran into a group of other Players

Alex is more combat orientated, likes fighting monsters and PvP

Alex pronouns are she/they

Makena is more laid back and loves to garden (or make farms, Minecraft's equivalent lol)

Makena is the tallest and thinnest of the group

Makena's pronouns are She/her

Efe has a penchant for gold and other riches. Their house is lined with emerald and gold blocks

Efe is one of the shorter, stouter members of the group, but that doesn't mean they can't kick your ass

Efe's pronouns are They/Them

Noor prefers the mines of the underground. Particularly he likes lush caves the best

Noor isn't so much interested in the gems as he is in the stone surrounding them. He likes exploring caves more than he likes strip mining.

Noor usually uses He/Him pronouns, but occasionally will try out others to see how they fit
