Design Notes
Multiple layers of clothing dawn and cover on her true nature, the composition is faced where what she shows upfront is stiff and straight to the point.
However on the other side shows a kinder and more free nature. Her shawl adds the touch of mystery and burden she carries which is signified for its dark color, but it remains in the range of grey symbolizing her neutral perspective about her faction.
The light blue corset and guard signifies a shield of melancholy and ultimately indifference to her faction's warm palette.
Claudia's jabot (neckwear accessory, from French meaning "a bird's crop") is a touch of spontaneous color, signifying freedom as the whole faction alludes to it. It loosely connected to the bleeding heart dove, in which the dove has a red chest/crop which looks like its bleeding.
It goes more in-depth about her character and sorrow as a whole. Under all the layers is a light peach dress which signifies her true and flowing nature. Delicate and deeply empathetic to her world and surroundings.
