My headcanon is that the canon fit is what she started with when she arrived. But as the town trusts her more and she settled in she gets to be more stylish as shes more relaxed.

Author’s note : Hi hello, it's Eli (the og author), decided to change some of my writings to mc x reader so if you see a different version out there, it's also me, just consider it the old version. Enjoy! 😊
After turning and turning around in her bed, MC had to resign herself. Sleep would not come. Especially not with the headache and the stomach ache she have had for a few days now. But time was a rare thing these days. MC had made sure every patient she have had in the few last days were treated first. Which meant forgetting herself and pushing through her own issues.
In her tired self, she was thinking. Trying to figure out what she could have caught. If it was the same thing that the other villagers had caught a few days ago. Wondering what potion could work on her state.
As she was thinking, a hand wrapped around one of her arm, pulling her back to her girlfriend’s arm. Martha’s eyes opened, tired but worried.
MC sighed, facing her girlfriend with a guilty smile.
« … Sorry. Didn’t mean to wake you up. » She whispered softly and Martha shook her head.
« Don’t apologize. » She said softly before placing her hand on her face. MC flinched at the contact and Martha grew more worried.
« What’s wrong? » She questioned and MC shook her head.
« I can’t sleep. Headache and stomach ache. » MC explained and Martha placed her hand on her forehead.
« You’re not burning up, so it’s not a fever. Could you have caught something? »
« Maybe… » She replied but as Martha kept on looking at her, worried, she closed her eyes with a sigh, continuing.
« But I think… the last couple weeks have been a lot as well. Lots of patients, stress, not much sleep… This might not have help too. » She admitted and Martha’s grip on her arm tighten a bit.
« It’s okay to take a break, you know? Matteo is still there if needed. You’re the first one to ask us to take care of ourselves. Why wouldn’t you feel the same about yourself too? » Martha scolded her lightly as she put her other hand in her girlfriend’s hair, playing with them as a way to soothe her partner. Which did helped as MC felt herself relax a bit.
MC knew Martha was right. It was no use being there if she was not in a state to do her job.
« … You’re right. » She agreed and Martha smiled softly.
« We’ll go see Matteo in the morning. See if he has something to help. » She decided.
MC huffed at that, pouting.
« I could just make myself something. » She replied but Martha shook her head in refusal.
« Nonsense. The point is you taking a break. Not pushing yourself even more. » She reasoned and MC knew she was, once again, right.
So she let her win this time.
« … Okay. Let’s do that. » She let herself be convinced.
Martha then got up and walked to the bathroom before coming back with water and another potion.
« Matteo gave me this as a temporary pain relief. It should help for a few hours, just enough to get some sleep until morning. » She offered MC and she took both, thanking her partner.
As it slowly does its effects, MC closed her eyes. Martha had put her hand in her hair again, singing a lullaby to help her girlfriend to go to sleep. A song her mother sang to her when she was young, she told her.
As MC finally fell asleep, Martha smiled, kissing her forehead. She then closed her eyes, all cuddled up to her lover.
Matheo and the chemist he soooo totally is NOT in love with because she puts evil things in her potions! Ahh but alas, as stubborn as he is, this spring-green eyed and fire-haired lady of science captures his heart and love.
