Not originally. When I began the story, the Elements of Harmony weren't even gonna e a thing, but when I accidentally made Drake and Carl into characters, I noticed that they happened to show Element qualities. Samara and Ariana weren't gonna be a thing either, but I decided "hey, why not have more female characters? And our first lesbians?" Mordin was a character I wanted to introduce a while ago, but couldn't find out how. Him and Liana weren't in the story before because I didn't want the story to be too crowded, and I couldn't find a proper place to write them in.
