Maid Monday, the sub-series where I post and rate maid designs.

Pleiades week!

Entoma Vasilissa Zeta from Overlord written by Kugane Maruyama and illustrated by So-bin.

You know, I thought I was cool with bug girls after Matara, but man I want to burn Entoma Vasilissa Zeta in fire. However, after thinking deeply about it, she is supposed to be a monster, so that just means she's got an amazingly unsettling design and god damnit I love her now.

I guess I like uncanny bug girls now.

But we're here to rate maid uniforms, and I really like this one. I've been wanting to talk more about different cultural maids from different periods since I mostly focus on modern western maids, and Entoma Vasilissa Zeta's a good start.

She's based more on a traditional Japanese Maid, (or at least what we'd translate as a maid.) From my five minutes of research, Japanese maids would wear Kimono's up until the late 1800's.

However I'm pretty sure Entoma Vasilissa Zeta isn't wearing a real type of kimono (I'm not an expert, most of my knowledge is second hand from when my sibling went to Japan in high school and was gifted a kimono by their host family.)

But as a stylized Japanese maid, it's a really cool blend of western and traditional maid garb, with plenty of ruffles and an apron. Love the different colors, it's always refreshing to get a pallet that isn't mostly black/grey/blue. And I love the pops of red too.
