Boots: I went off the official art for the podcast for this, which shows Maerydyth in calf-high rockstar boots. To that end, I just extended the top of the shoes up a bit further and added a cuff, then left her either bare-legged or wearing tights.

Dress: I gave Maerydyth underwear just in case, but her skirt stays down pretty well. She seemed like the asymmetrical hem type, so I did a chain of 40, then did a long wave of trc-edc-dc-ehdc-hdc-sc to make it shorter on one side and long on the other. When I got to the end, I went around to the other side of the chain and did sc all the way around, joined with a sl st, and then sc’d until I judged it was long enough to join to her torso and continue. I also tried to do a plunging neckline with a low-cut back, but I’m not sure I succeeded.

Head: Obviously she has to be perfectly made up on stage, hence the hot pink lipstick. As for her hair, I remembered something from the end of the first campaign about Maerydyth having done her hair in that half-shaved undercut style, so I left one side of her head with just the scalp and traced the hair around the line where the undercut would be, then filled in the other side. I love the way it turned out.

Arms: Maerydyth goes for the cheeky strap sleeves, so I just did her arms bare all the way up. I left them unstuffed about halfway along so she can give hugs better, whether Zongroff anyone wants them or not.
