Jyoon and Shion Yorigami - Gouyoku Ibun.

I did not draw the pictures, I only made the collages.

Jyoon and Shion usually have two different versions of their portraits, mostly because of the writing from the papers attached to Shion's dress. The writing isn't normally mirrored, so that's why there are two variants of the portraits.

However, in Gouyoku Ibun, their defeated portrait has only one variant, which is mirrored. The "opponent" variant is the original one in this case and the "player" one is the mirrored one.

To illustrate this better, I cropped the screenshots above to include only the Yorigami sisters and mirrored the ones where they were opponents. The results are as follows:

- when you mirror regular portraits, you can see that the writing from Shion's dress is different, meaning there are two variants of the portrait.

- when you mirror defeated portraits, you can see that the writing from Shion's dress is the same, meaning one portrait is the mirror of the other and there is only one variant for the defeated portrait.

Now, looking at the four cropped pictures from above, you can notice 3 of them have the same writing on the paper, while only one is different. We mirrored 2 pictures to match the perspective of the player, not the opponent, so this means the opponent portrait is the original one for the defeated expression.

Amongst the portraits of the characters from Gouyoku Ibun, there are two named "neutral" and "lose". Those appear during the stats menu. Usually these potraits depict more of the character than the dialogue ones (even if inside the game they're not fully visible either, but in the game files you can see the difference better).

Below are the "neutral" and "lose" portraits of the Yorigami sisters. You can see more from the diamonds on Jyoon's dress and more of Shion's hair in the right side of the picture.

When making the collages, I wanted to merge these ones with the dialogue portraits, to have a fuller image of each expression. However, to my surprise, the "neutral" and "lose" images have Shion's position a bit different than the dialogue pictures.

While Jyoon stays in the same position, Shion is a bit shifted.

You can take as reference point this piece of paper from Shion's dress. The red "U" shape thing is more visible in the dialogue portrait and more hidden in the stats one.
