[ ps! not too sure if this is on the right board or not, first time making a thread :3 ]

So I've seen a few screenshots of Echo today but ever since I saw her on the poster, I've had a little theory; I think Echo may be based on the Greek Myth of Echo and Narcissus; of course I can't confirm this until I get to see her backstory but I just feel like the name Echo and that it's a Water Skylander match up well to the Myth. (I'd post a link but the Wikipedia page has artwork with nudity so I won't ;vsmilie

As far as I can tell, Echo attacks with songs/music although the original Echo was Cursed to only repeat what has been said to her (which is why she was named Echo.)

I'm just wondering if anybody has any thoughts on this and maybe wether anybody thinks some Skylanders has an origin outside the Skylanders universe, such as Lightning Rod obviously being a lot like the Greek god Zeus.

That's her backstory, don't think it has anything to do with Greek Myth:
Echo lived in an undersea kingdom that was built around an enormous oyster shell, and at its center was the Pearl of Wisdom. Every day water dragons from all around the kingdom would come to ask questions of the Pearl. Because this was a sacred ritual, anyone living near the Pearl were required to speak only in whispers. This was challenging for Echo, who lived directly next to it. She had a gift – and it was loud – and often got her in trouble. One day, a gang of sea horses known as the Aqua Jocks rode into town and claimed the Pearl for themselves. They cast an unbreakable bubble around it and began dragging it away with enormous chains. The nearby water dragons, who had been quiet for so long, were unable to even call for help. Then Echo appeared – and with her loudest sonar blast, she shattered the bubble and blew the sea horses out of the kingdom! Her heroic actions caught the attention of Gill Grunt, who recruited her as a Skylander. Now Echo sounds off against evil all throughout Skylands!

I just saw it on the Official Video, I still think they might have used the myth as inspiration and worked off of it ;v; it was just on my mind for a while.
