josephine’s entire adult life has been spent among orlesian nobility, but she still dresses in what can only be an antivan style and doesn’t mask her face or even wear particularly concealing makeup. you have to imagine that hindered her path to being respected there, so it must be really important to her personally to stay antivan in appearance, especially considering we see her younger sister (who still seems to live mostly in antiva) masked and dressed completely orlesian when visiting the winter palace. i suppose it’s also possible it’s been useful to josephine to cultivate the perception of herself as a charmingly genuine bare-faced foreigner and thus get underestimated? anyway i think when she’s at the height of her popularity, orlesians should paint beauty marks on their masks to imitate her look
