I've mentioned before that I've had a bunch of iterations of Ziggys going around (although I also have a couple honorary Ziggys, Regina Zigura and Orta Kwan), but with the inspiration thing I decided to give it a go for Ziggy. More than Rippah, though, the different inspirations for Ziggy designs became different iterations.

Ziggy Prime is based off of Soul Blade's Siegfried, and is named as such because I thought Ziggy was a cute nickname someone gave to Siegfried.

Base Ziggy is what would be the baseline for many designs afterwards, and is also where the Callie/Calypsa part of her name comes in. Lorewise, the first version of this Ziggy used to be human, but when she became reptilian, she reversed her name from Callie Zigura to Ziggy Calypsa. And, yeah, the Calypsa bit is taken from Calypso from Twisted Metal. This one even granted wishes in a similar way, and is the reason that some Ziggy designs have lines on their scales.

Android Ziggy was inspired by 2B from Nier: Automata. Not much to say there.

Similarly, Mouse Ziggy was based off of Gregory from Gregory Horror Show. Actually, while she is referred to as Ziggy, unlike most iterations, this is *just* a nickname people call her, rather than her first name as Callie, which is why the hotel she runs is "Callie's Place".

Black Ziggy is not based on a character, but a concept of having the 'blackest paint". For this Ziggy, this turned into an innate ability to absorb light through large parts of her body, and is a trait that carries over to Mouse Ziggy.

This Callie does not have a designation as of yet, but do note that she is not the first Ziggy that defaults to a human(or humanoid) form (there were two others). This one was inspired by cabezilla142dxd's Haniu character.
