I get inspired by many people and books. Right now, I am inspired by the book The Golden Compass and I'm making a copy of the Alethiometer, which is in the book. I am also inspired by Lyra because she is brave and also I like the demons, don’t you? I also love Series of Unfortunate Events and I'm inspired by the inventor Violet.
