Description
This sketch started out as a scribble that I was going to rip out of my sketchbook and throw away because it wasn't doing what I wanted.

Then I started listening to FFVII Piano Themes. More specifically, these two songs:

[Jenova Theme]
[Those Who Fight]

And, given my recent total obsession with the Michael Bay Movieverse Transformers, I naturally started to think about them listening to these songs. But why would they be listening?
I began to slowly form a character in my head, a girl with a soul made of music who is brought into their lives because the frequencies held in musical chords could influence and even briefly control Transformers (namely Decepticons)

I figured the Autobots would probably try to use her methods as a non-violent solution to trying to end the war.

I pictured this character, soft and gentle in both her appearance (suffering from albinism with white hair and faded eyes) and her demeanour (her self expression coming through best in the music she plays) and I thought that maybe it would be a unique way to introduce the Transformers to some of the things from our world that they haven't experienced in the distraction of war.

She has no name yet, but her back story is fairly solid.

Her parents are the over-achieving, our-child-must-be-the-best type; enrolling her in the education of most basic classical instruments from an incredibly young age (piano, harp, flute and cello) and therefore she can apply these principals to most other forms of instrument.

At first I thought being able to play such a variety of instruments was too Mary-Sue-ish, but then I realized that it was only through the force of her over-achieving parents that she can do this. I personally have known people with families like this; and I find it incredibly saddening.

Her controlling family loves her, but they can only seem to see what they want for her, not what she wants in herself. The music she creates is the only form of self-expression she can muster without her parents reprimanding her for being rebellious.

Not sure how I will work her into the world of Transformers, but it's something I hope to do soon; because she already feels like a wonderful character.

Suggestions for names would be both wonderful and appreciated.
