"Oh boy. Where do I even start? Tsumi was a product of the short time where I decided Pyro was straight. He was the demon prince, a rebellious soul, and he had the ugliest color scheme ever. I made many Gacha Life skits about the two of them almost dying together, and I have since reset Gacha Life and ripped every drawing of him out of my sketchbooks, and my life. Tsumi wasn't exactly Alia, because the predecessor of Alia, Azzy, still existed in her most primitive form, and she still had a much smaller crush on Pyro. So, I gave Tsumi the boot, and put her in the spotlight instead. (Oh, by the way, Tsumi still exists, but he doesn't do anything.)"

"Azzy was...strange. She was an android-demon, and she had permanently heart-shaped eyes. She was pretty basic, and colder than I intended. I got the name, "Azzy" from the Undertale character who I shall not reference. I went off of the Tsumi-shaped hole that was left in the plot for a long time, but then I decided to make Pyro have a crush on her first, a revolutionary idea for me at the time. This plot point lasted almost three seconds, before I scrapped it. The Pyro x Azzy ship, dubbed 'Azro' by me, was very unclear in boundaries or intensity, but it was a new, special kind of trash."

"Azzy revamp was my favorite for a while. She was powerful, passionate, but yet, she was hiding her deep insecurities all along. I was happy with her, though I didn't exactly know the timeline of when she met Pyro. I showed her to my friends and they all said to change her name, because it sounded too much like...the "A" word. So, I renamed her Alia. With a new name, I started reworking her again, and I barely focused on the rest of the story, which was okay, because it was mostly laid out for me already."

"Modern Alia is shy, and doesn't think she can do anything right. In the DICORE timeline, she was executed as a teenager for accidently burning a house down...with people inside. She didn't have the money for a lawyer, and she couldn't defend herself, so she died, and fell to Crimson City, where she stayed until she was seventeen. She was called to Purgatory Warden duty, like Jury duty, but somehow worse, and the new recipient of Hell was a blue-haired girl. Alia doesn't want to torture her, even though that's what she was there to do, and so they end up just talking. The girl's name turns out to be Pyro, and she was the same age as Alia. After she got out of Purgatory, Alia lets Pyro be her roommate until she can afford her own house, but meanwhile, they both realize they have a crush on each other. Pyro ends up...not moving to a new house, and they live together now."
