When winter ends and the snow melts, let's go out!~

Started watching the Witch Hat Atelier anime and knew I had to make an AU for Arcadia Fallen! These are very rough, I mostly focused on broad silhouette and design over strict practicality.

Since I like the different magic classes, I imagine this is more of a 'the rules of magic from WHA overlayed onto the world of Arcadia Fallen' AU.

Felt cute might start a rebellion and blow up a train later 💅

Cygnus flexing their gala outfit and then a few outfit variations for the seasons! I'll put some expansion on the outfits under the cut:

There are a couple of things i wanted to keep in mind across all the outfits:

A special fact about their Gala outfit: I kept it pretty close to canon, but added the tie on their wrist as a nod to Soren since the bracelet in the canon design reminds me of the ones Nina wears. They also romance Kim so I gave them the triangle necklace.

---

Main fits:

They wear the same shoes all the time -- its important to have good shoes as a Mender!

Seeing as their grade is printed on their wrist, that needs to be coverable even in hot weather!

They don't get to shop much so they reuse outfit pieces where they can !

Cygnus always has their pouch of headache medicine and Mender supplies on them, so its a matter of figuring out where it's going to go.

Cygnus is confident in their body and generally prefers flow-y clothes, but they have to work in a medical ward so it does need to be practical enough for that!

They're from the Northern territory near Taruna, so they're much happier in the fall and winter months as opposed to spring and summer where they overheat easily.

Observe, but never interfere.

The return to Middlebrook was fucked up (pos)

fighting artblock and feeding my current hyperfixation by doing little outfit references for my MCs from Arcadia Fallen and Arcadia Fallen 2~

They mostly stick to the canon outfit designs, but it was fun to come up with reasons why they made these choices!

"Walked into the mender's ward and got hit with this look, am I doing to die???"

Bonus, I like that a lot of the sprites match a bit:
