#piglette

Monique: A mix of formal wear and cozy wear. She likes to be cute but worries about not being taken seriously, so it creates this middle ground in her aesthetic. I was going to use a different light color for the sweater dress but I think using a color from her hero suit fits with her trying to hold on to whimsy despite trying to be mature.

Piglette: Very much going for a "when pigs fly" theme here, alongside a circus performer costume. Something you'd see from acrobats more than a traditional clown or something. There's also slight inspiration here from the Japanese wrestler, Mizuki. (Monique's fighting style is wrestling, her sister also has a similar style. It's a shared interest, though her sister is more into western style.) Which is also why there's some magical girl vibes here.

Swine Circle: Yes, the swirly bits do jingle. It was probably the easiest decision I made for weapon choices. The ribbon would make for a good swinging item like Coccineus' chains and Mousie's string, which ties them all together.
