How did the author come up with the description of the character and was it planned meticulously?

I think this is partly up to reader interpretation, but I felt they were adequately described in the book! I'm sure there is more than meets the eye though

And can sounds live anywhere else in echoland besides shadowpain or the orphanage?! My interpretation is if a Sound is brought to Echoland it is to be killed.

If you google the character the image that shows up is close to how cyrano is described in the story. I wonder if the author was inspired by the real cyrano. So much so that she placed him in her story

Most authors usually have extensive notes on such things, and I would like to know from the author, not by interpretation.

How do you mean by stealing memories? In the beginning if the book damien used a chrystillery to view wills memory by placing it on his head. Memories are also stored in chrystilleries so I suppose if you got your hand on someone elses and you knew how to read them, then yes?

I have numerous mentions in the book that contradict this. Drinkwater shouod be enough.

I Mean from the similarities between Crystilleries and a Pensieve.
