These are the pictures I imagine Tobias placed in her bedroom for her. Most normal shots with 2 in dressed up clothes and one of just her Mama (one at a charity ball and the other on boat during a summer yacht party Skye put together)… the more I think about my wip the more I loveee Mama Ortega!!
Hot take, but some of y’all don’t know what goth means. Libby doesn’t wear nude lipgloss and white crop tops; she wears heavy black eyeliner and dark lipstick, and platform knee high boots with buckles.
This is NOT what Libby looks like
This IS what Libby looks like
Normally, I wouldn’t be this picky about the representation of a book character, but as someone who’s be made fun of A LOT for having an alt style, it hurts to see that what is a coping system for many people (not saying it is for her, but it doesn’t seem far fetched); fashion, is being diluted to make her more digestible. When Libby changes her image to please Alisa, she dyes her hair AND drastically changes her fashion, and that is what I feel is happening here. Again, normally, I wouldn’t care, but being goth is such an important part of her character, and it’s so common for alternative or “weird” traits/characters to be adapted so people are able to see someone they relate to. Alt characters are frequently changed or dumbed down to niche one trait (for Libby, it’s often her hair/liking black) so instead of having interests that are weird and creepy, they are just quirky and different while still being societally acceptable. She IS weird and she IS creepy. That’s not an insult.
You don’t have to agree with me but I ask that you at least consider it.

"It's always about Calla," Knox reminded Gigi. "For Brady."
"Alisa complements you better," Gigi opined. "Her power suits, your finance bro vests. Your mercenary streak, her mercenary streak. Big hearts coated in ambitious and sometimes amoral candy shells. I ship it."
◦Pro at holding a thousand things in her hand at once.
◦Knox always offers to carry some things for her. She always refuses. He carries them anyways.
◦Whenever Avery is going to a small event and refuses to get stylist and all involved. Alisa usually does her makeup or atleast helps.
◦Is actually really good at makeup. Could do I very good make routine in 15 mins.
◦Her favourite person in the world was her mom.
◦She passed away when Alisa was very young. So on every mother's day or on her birthday Alisa goes to her grave and tell her everything that happened in her life.
◦She frequented her grave even more after her and Nash broke up.
◦Her working space while she is working on a project would be the messiest thing you have seen. But in the end her project turn out immaculate. (Like her process would be messy but her results immaculate iykwim)
◦Gold girlie for life.
◦Favorite season is either monsoon or summer.
◦Her breakfast most days is a fruit salad.
◦Can do everything (I mean EVERYTHING) in heels.
◦Has a huge extended family. She doesn't go to reunion frequently but when she does her younger cousins and nieces adore her. She is THE cool cousin. (She adores them to)
◦Surprisingly, good with kids.
◦Serial book annotator.
◦Knox cooks for her. She loves it.
◦Her and Knox's dates are either fine dining hotels or taco trucks and kfc, there is no in between.
◦Her purses, heels and perfume probably cost more than my existence.
◦Signature scent is YSL black opium.
◦Has folders of pictures of her family and the Hawthornes. And later, Knox and her kids.
◦Doesn't have a gun but knows how to shoot.
◦Her nails are always french tips.
◦She can defend herself but the next time Hawthorne mistreat her they are sure as hell squaring up with Knox
I wish we got more Alisa in the books. She’s very much on the periphery of the story, but she has the potential to have a bigger role since she’s Avery’s lawyer and she’s an interesting character. Not just because of Nash but because of her proximity to the family, her relationship with the old man, the way that she follows in her father’s footsteps. Alisa has so much to be explored and leaving her outside of the main plot has kind of reduced her to little more than competition for Nash (in the eyes of the fandom). Justice for Alisa.
In summer, she wouldn’t give up her pants, but she’d switch to a sleeveless top. Again, I picture something fitted, solid-colored, with no writing — nothing messy.
٭ 𝐸𝑉𝐸𝑁𝑇𝑆
I picture her choosing long, form-fitting dresses with clean, structured lines. She gravitates toward silhouettes that highlight her figure without feeling flashy — something sleek, minimal, and confident. I can especially see her opting for open-back designs. They’re sophisticated and bold but in a controlled way.
٭ 𝐻𝐴𝐼𝑅
Even though she usually wears her hair up, I can see her letting it down in more informal settings. Her natural hair is much curlier and more unruly than this, but after the breakup with Nash she started straightening it. Still, whenever she wears it down, I imagine she uses a flat iron to give the ends a soft wave.
٭ 𝐴𝑇 𝐻𝑂𝑀𝐸
When she’s at home, she wears a more comfortable version of her usual outfits. Still pants — this time sweatpants — and on top I picture her in a cardigan, or a simple tank top with a cardigan over it that she can take off if she gets too warm. And she keeps her jewelry on even at home. I see her as the kind of person who doesn’t like taking off her earrings, necklaces, or bracelets — she might even have a set she wears exclusively around the house. Even if no one sees her, she still needs to feel put-together.
For sleepwear, she’d go for either a robe or a matching button-down top with night pants.
𝑊𝐻𝐸𝑁 𝑆𝐻𝐸 𝑊𝐴𝑆 𝐷𝐴𝑇𝐼𝑁𝐺 𝑁𝐴𝑆𝐻 —
٭𝐻𝐴𝐼𝑅
Her hair used to be worn natural. Very full, textured and a little unruly.
٭𝑂𝑈𝑇𝐹𝐼𝑇𝑆
When she was dating Nash, her outfits were noticeably more relaxed, but still very her, idk how to say. I imagine her wearing jeans instead of tailored trousers — the same subtle silhouette she prefers now, slightly fitted at the top and gradually wider toward the bottom, but with a lower rise and a more 90s feel. She paired them with tight, simple tops, nothing messy or oversized. Sometimes, I think she also wore skirts — long and minimal ones still. Of course, always wearing heels. It echoes the style she has today, because that shape genuinely suits her and keeps her essence intact, but those outfits were much less rigid and allowed a softer, more effortless version of herself to come through.
— I had never done something like this before, but I am going to try. —
𝑺𝑻𝒀𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑨𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑶𝑹𝑻𝑬𝑮𝑨 :
٭ 𝐼𝑁 𝐺𝐸𝑁𝐸𝑅𝐴𝐿 —
Obviously this iconic combo. Alisa is described wearing paintsuits and tailleur, also in her card we can see her wearing a blazer and high-waisted tailored trousers.
The trousers are obviously tailored— nothing overly wide, but not tight either. More like a subtle tapered cut: they start slightly slimmer at the top and loosen just a bit toward the bottom, without ever becoming flared. As for the top, I imagine she would choose blouses, never loose or messy, always perfectly fitted and immaculate, something that communicates professionalism and composure. Alternatively, I can also see her wearing very simple, monochrome fitted tops. Nothing oversized, nothing sloppy.
٭ 𝑊𝑂𝑅𝐾 𝐷𝑈𝑅𝐼𝑁𝐺 𝑊𝐼𝑁𝑇𝐸𝑅
I can absolutely see her wearing long, structured coats in winter. Something like this.
٭ 𝐴𝐶𝐶𝐸𝑆𝑆𝑂𝑅𝐼𝐸𝑆
𝐵𝐴𝐺𝑆 = Her bags are definitely designer, but always large and practical — big enough to carry documents and all the essentials she needs on her, from makeup to hand sanitizer to her wallet. (I actually made a post about this already.)
𝐺𝐿𝑂𝑉𝐸𝑆 = In winter, I think she has a soft spot for this kind of gloves.
She always wears sunglasses, both in winter and in summer.
At work, her hair is always tied up in a high bun.
