Ledian seems to be based on a {{wp|Coccinellidae|ladybug}}, particularly the {{wp|Harmonia axyridis|Asian ladybeetle}} or {{wp|Coccinella septempunctata|seven-spot ladybird}} due to its bright red color and black spots. Its nocturnal habits and {{wp|bioluminescence}} may be inspired by {{wp|Firefly|fireflies}}. Its humanoid body and large, ovoid head and eyes, as well as its affinity to the stars, are also reminiscent of aliens, such as the {{wp|grey alien}}. | Ledian seems to be based on a {{wp|Coccinellidae|ladybug}}, particularly the {{wp|Harmonia axyridis|Asian ladybeetle}} or {{wp|Coccinella septempunctata|seven-spot ladybird}} due to its bright red color and black spots.
