Inspired by the anime that plays in my head whenever I read Magica Riot by @magicariot, here's some more fanart, this time in the style of anime design documents for characters and their outfits.

Today's character is Claire! First is Claire as Riot Purple in her base form, the form she uses for most of book 1. There isn't any official art of this costume, but it's described as being overall more black than the fully powered version. I used a more vivid shade of purple to compensate for there being less of it.

Next is what I've called "Catastrophic boymode failure". This is newly awakened Claire in her pre-awakening outfit, as seen when she wakes up in the Vault. She's presumably also wearing this when she comes out to Hazel. It's designed to be aggressively monochrome and the opposite of eye-catching.

Third is Claire's first dress, dark purple with a pink floral pattern. I went with lilies, the most lesbian and trans of flowers. I did consider giving her boots, in reference to my own tendency to wear boots with even the fanciest of dresses, but I figured eh, she probably has more fashion sense than me 😅

Finally, Claire's powered-up Riot Purple form, complete with purple hair! This is the one outfit to have official art so I mostly went off that, though I did add the wrist link, which I don't think we've seen depicted before. They're, uh, kind of just based on Baby-Gs.
