I’m not sure if they’re specific characters, though I headcanon the hat-wearer girl on the right as Max and the one in the front reading as Freddie. Any interpretations are cool!
Out of interest, this was what I sent to CoG about art ideas, though obviously I don’t know exactly what the editors sent to the artist:
A group of uniformed students lounging on a lawn, waiting in a line outside a Swiss-boarding-school-esque college building, or working in a classroom (ala this image). Should give the impression of wealth, finishing-school preppiness, and a 1920s-30s aesthetic.
Pictured students wouldn’t necessarily need to match the main characters of the game, but it would be cool to show them with varied attitudes - eg one’s scruffier and more rebellious-looking than the others, one’s sporty, one’s looking sleepy in class, one looks super keen. If you’d like to have the art directly represent the characters, I can provide descriptors. Although this sort of setting is traditionally very white and cisheteronormative, it’s important to show a variety of ethnicities and gender presentations.
Uniform description: everyone wears a white shirt and dark red-and-grey striped tie. Some wear red-and-gray checked skirts and dove-gray sweaters, some wide-legged trousers.
