masque d'Okina, personnage du Nô - Kyoto, XXIe s.

The underwear layer is only visible at his neck (as it should be), while the remaining layers are easily distinguished by color. The red akome and white kariginu are both osode style, meaning that the opening where the hand exits the sleeve is completely open. Even the strings on the edges of the kariginu sleeves are accurate to historical garments! He's also styled the kariginu correctly where the front is bloused over a belt and the back is worn long. Tate-eboshi are usually worn over a hairstyle called motodori, which is essentially a tall thin man-bun, but wearing it over long loose hair was possible with the attachment of strings to tie it under the chin. High marks all around!

Pilgrim wear - The second reason why I wanted to do this drawing, I learned that the Ichimegasa(that veil hat) that I have to Majora is also from the Japanese Heian period, it’s just mostly reserved for noblewomen pilgrims. I’d imagine that this is what they would wear whenever they travel outside the Demon Realm or Palace because it involves travelling. They’re also childhood friends with Bellum and has a very nasty beef with Malladus. Court witch - The outfit that they’re best known for at the palace, again they’re wearing something that’s from the Japanese Heian Period, I know Majora’s meant to be somewhat female coded but I gave them a man’s Kariginu instead of a woman’s Junihitoe because I wanted to change things up a little(that and I imagined that walking around in 12 layers of Kimono robes would be difficult). The buddhist/shinto beads around their neck references Majora’s eventual mask form and the 5 regions of Termina. Majora’s Mask(feat. Skull Kid) - Self explanatory but I’ll explain anyways, they entered Termina gravely injured because of the Demon Realm falling apart and became the way they’re known for due to the “Song of Healing” played by the man that saved them, but then the man died and an ancient tribe found Majora and began to use them for their hexing rituals, turning them insane overtime until they eventually snapped. They began reign of terror on all of humanity as a result of it, even going as far as to possess a young child, aka Skull Kid. Lost soul - A bit of a twist ending to “Majora’s Mask”, instead of being killed off, they instead got themselves banished from their mask body the moment the Fierce Deity laid the final blow, as well as losing all of their magic. Becoming a lost and restless soul, they spent most of their time wondering around multiple realms and countries mindlessly as well as harassing Time!Link’s descendants from both “Twilight Princess” and “Four Swords Adventures” out of pure spite and hatred towards the Hero that defeated them. “Villager” wear - This is what Majora would wear during the first half of “Hyrule Warriors”* after Veran makes them a new body made of mud, they were first founded and recruited by Zant, and because they didn’t have their magic back yet, they acted as his personal informant by pretending to be a innocent village girl named “Selene”** who acted as a victim, and baited Warriors!Link out of all the information he knows regarding his search for Zelda and the time portals…Also this outfit is very unoriginal, it’s based off of Hatsune Miku’s Avant-garde outfit. I should’ve used it for Margarita’s mage outfit remake but it’s one of my favorite Project Diva outfits and I just can’t help drawing them in it, let me have this. Fighter wear - The FIRST reason why I did this drawing in the first place. This is what they would wear during the second half of “Hyrule Warriors” and onward, they needed a proper outfit for combat as well as looking fabulous, I kinda designed it with some references to “Senbonzakura” but I also modeled it more towards Sheikah apparel in mind. After faking their death to get away from Warriors!Link, they’re now allowed to do whatever they want as well as try restoring their lost magic, going under the name of “Hecate”*** to avoid suspicion, but they were reprimanded by Beelzebub and Lucifer shortly after. They would wear this later on centuries later. Post-Calamity Termina - They would wear this while settling down in Ikana Valley’s Hill Town, under the name of “Tsuki”, and pretends to be some clumsy witch to make themselves look innocent and to avoid suspicions, during this time they lost their leg to a rampaging guardian and finally regain the magic they have lost(but not enough to end the world). Their outfit was popular during Japan’s Late-Edo and Early-Meiji Period and it’s meant to reflect Termina becoming more modern in a short period of time, I also gave them glasses to give them that innocent nerdy look(or mad scientist?), I also replaced the star symbol on their hakama with a Stone Tower emblem to make it seem like they’re from Ikana. Modern Hyrule - Everyone knows this, but this is what they wear onwards during ORAS and Modern Day Hyrule, the overalls are meant to make Majora look very childish despite being full grown. During this time, traveled back to the Demon Realm with Beelzebub and Lucifer to restore it to it’s former glory. During the Modern Times, they still continue to cause trouble for all the humans(especially Link), even getting arrested on several occasions for multiple counts of domestic terrorism, disturbing the peace, and illegal usage of moon magic. They’re also seen lurking around the Twilight Realm. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Yes, Hyrule Warrior is part of Zelda canon in this universe, fucking fight me ** Selene is the Greek goddess of the moon *** Hecate is the Greak goddess of magic, witchcraft, moon, the night, ghosts and necromancy Human and Demon design belongs to me Base belongs to Vonibuu Blank base here: https://www.deviantart.com/vonibuu/art/F2U-chibi-base-502327388
