She would get hit with all of that stuff and I don't even know what you would do with it at that point, or if you'd been like "These girls are crazy." Piper would love those." And then, all of that would get sent to Maca. It's like almost playing with Barbie dolls, especially when we talked about costumes, because I'd be like, "Look at these cute sparkly leggings.

Kate Karyus Quinn: This was our first time writing a graphic novel. What was the thought process behind the character designs? Because I feel like both the overall look of the whole book and the costumes themselves are very adorable.
