since unicorns typically come from rich and affluent backgrounds i thought it would make sense for ichabod to try and cosplay nobility by kinda imitating how unicorns use magic to hold things instead of just being normal and using his hooves lol? if that makes sense. also bird motif. whatever bro SHE DOESN’T WANT YOU

Starting with:
Ichabod as Thomas
Ichabod was a easy choice for Thomas. He is our beloved main character! He is also a cutie, like C!Thomas and looking for direction in Sleepy Hollow the same way Thomas looks to the Sides for direction.
Drawing wise, I enjoyed putting a bit of every colour in his outfit :) Plus, his little colour orbs represent the amount of each side i feel is represented in him :p
Matilda as Virgil/Anxiety
Matilda was nearly placed as Logic but i think anxiety works for her! Virgil also has a gloomy aesthetic and a deep love for his friends that pushes him to great lengths, like Matilda.
Anyways, i really wanted to make virgil’s cloak a cape so :p
Verla as Remus/Dark Creativity
She’s a spooky gal!!! Just like Remus. Remus would enjoy appearing with dramatic stings and monologuing to skulls like Verla. And the “it’s real blood” thing is so Remus so..
I’ve always wanted to draw Verla and i like her being in a lineup so i get to make her tinyyyy she’s so cute and ominous.
Lucretia as Logan/Logic
She’s smart, pragmatic and she doesn’t put up with any nonsense. Additionally, like Logan, she has a bit of a soft/eccentric side, particularly with her taking part in a quiz team with the babes (although i have no doubt she’s functioning as a Straight Man to their rambunctiius goofs).
Drawing Lucretia meant I FINALLY got to draw her with my headcanon of dyed brown hair except for an under section that is her real red colour.
Diedrich Knickerbocker as Roman/Creativity
He’s a bard!! He sings passionate songs and provides a little sneak peak into Ichabod’s desires and dreams to the audience, which is a more subtle version of Roman.
His outfit lends itself very well to be Princified so i just switched a few colours around :p Oh and I had to give him a sword ofc. Because it’s Roman..
Kat as Janus/Deciet
I struggled whether to place Kat as Anxiety or Deciet for a while but fundamentally i think she fits. Her entire arc is around lying, her father lying to her leads to her death etc.. Deciet’s dual nature as Self-Preservation also works with Kat as really she was just doing whatever it takes to look out for number one. And unlike for Janus, number one isn’t another person.
Janus’ outfit is hard to adapt into a cute dress (specifically i was basing it off Kats dress from the first Mayor Party) but they already shared a little bit of a colour scheme and i wanted to make his capelet into an outer skirt so sue me
Brom as Patton/Morality
He’s lovable, he’s a feminist and he likes to do the right thing even if he is sometimes blinded by love. He’s also just got a really big heart. (My only criticism is not enough puns like Patton does) Although Brom and Ichabod’s relationship is son to father compared to Patton and Thomas’ father to son, it’s another cross dynamic :p
