Solution and Explanation

Abstract of the Story (Five Lines)

Aedeleen, a notorious dengue-spreading mosquito, eagerly searches for her ideal breeding ground in a residential area.
She spots a tempting old tire and a discarded bucket full of stagnant water outside a house.
Just as she prepares to lay her eggs, a young, vigilant boy named Clean-Up Carl notices the trash.
Carl quickly empties the containers and properly disposes of the tire, destroying Aedeleen's home.
Frustrated and defeated, Aedeleen flies away, showing that simple action prevents Dengue.

Solution and Explanation

A. Aedeleen the Agent (Female Mosquito)
Sketch 1: The 'Classic Vector' (Serious)
Highly realistic body shape with large, stylized eyes and a menacing, sharp proboscis (needle). Focuses on anatomical accuracy and the white-striped legs. Less personified.
Sketch 2: The 'Sassy Spy' (Final Choice)
Short, bob-like antennae, dark sunglasses, tiny high-heeled boots on the hind legs, and a striped vest/jacket over the abdomen. Carries a small syringe accessory. This design was chosen for its visual interest and strong ‘villain’ persona.
Sketch 3: The 'Mad Scientist' (Exaggerated)
Wears a tiny lab coat and oversized safety goggles, holding a beaker of “dengue juice.” Features exaggerated wings and a wild, cackling expression. More comic and caricatured.
B. Clean-Up Carl (Young Vigilant Boy)
Sketch 1: The 'Generic Child'
Plain clothes and a tired or sick look. Focuses more on being a victim of dengue than an active participant. Less suitable for a heroic story arc.
Sketch 2: The 'Vigilant Hero' (Final Choice)
Bright T-shirt (yellow or green for energy/health), shorts, and rubber gloves. A determined facial expression shows initiative. Carries a bucket and looks alert and proactive.
Sketch 3: The 'Boy Scout'
Wears a full scout uniform with a hat and badge sash. While disciplined-looking, it feels too specific and less relatable to a broad audience.
