I am sort of fascinated by the outfits, to tell you the truth. The current outfit that this character, Rima, is wearing is quite a lot more covered up than this one, but I can't say I really like it any better, although a lot of that is because I kind of loathe the skin-tight pants in the outfit. I don't know why they bug me so much. And I'm way too invested in this whole thing, aren't I?
