Laura!! How cool to see your research and hear your story!!
I loved the name of Candela, and the relationship of candles with the spiritual. How was development? How did you feel during the process?
Hello Valentina! thank you very much :-) Yes, that name comes from Latin and means "candle", it seemed very suitable for the character. I found it curious to investigate candles and discovered things I didn't know (that the marines ate tallow candles when they had nothing else, that paraffin was discovered in Stuttgart, the city where I live...) I liked making up the story of the character although, at first I was a bit lost, I didn't know how to approach it. But I remembered that in Celtic culture lighting candles was used to guide the spirits and I started from there a bit.
