Elazul and Pearl from Legend of Mana! They’re good kids.

I really like the way they dress the Jumi in this game but boy I’m glad for concept art, otherwise rendering their clothes properly would be a LOT harder.

Elazul does not merely look the part, he truly is, for the Jumi race, the blue oasis of the sands, as described by Nao Ikeda, Legend of Mana's character designer. His cape is a cloud of sand, which is a neat detail in the animation we see in-game, where it appears to billow like falling sand behind him.

Ikeda emphasizes the baroque pearls sewn along the hemline of the dresses of Pearl and Blackpearl, uneven and haphazardly placed, conveying the instability of the character(s). I personally find that the waves crashing out from around their cores delineate them further: high and low tide, obviously connected to the moon. They share hairstyles modeled after conch shells, and dresses in the shape of oysters, but minor differences in their outfits sever their personas by battle-readiness.
