Wow. I thought I might have won. Oh well, guess I'll explain my reasoning behind the items.
Hat: ORLY was a must, though I did mull over the Joker hat for a minute. I thought you would appreciate the Phoenix Halo I put there to mimic the gold on her hat that is absent from the original ORLY.
Hair: If you'll check every image of Mistral she has floppy bangs coming through her hat, as opposed to the neatly tucked behin the ears. Plus, mistral's hair isn't truly long; it's actually pretty short in the back (I looked at original concept art sketches where Mistral had
Eyes: I knew I should have chosen those eyes, but then again, I didn't really think the eyes were a determining factor since they can so easily be changed. I just thought of a cute and bubbly personality, and those came to mind.
Top: The shoal was a must in my opinion. It's always present, so that is why I added the Solar Cloak. With her shirt, the ONLY reason I didn't go with the one Shialu picked was because Mistral had really baggy sleeves. I wanted to still show them, but I guess it didn't matter.
Belt: Never have I seen Mistral with a belt. My original concept (in fact I checked it and it was still there) had the G Belt Buckle with gave a more accurate representation without giving her a literal belt.
Pants: I chose them mainly to still reveal the leg warmers that Mistral appears to have over her shoes. I saw Shialu's pants, but they cause the elg warmers to be hid- den. The pants, though not exactly accurate and a little bit dark, still exposed the cute leg warmers. I mixed the Bone Helm pants and boots because they gave the illusion of really baggy pants.
Shoes: Mistral has a combination of leg warm- ers and dark shoes, one thing absent from Shialu's. I put them there because it adds a touch of innocence. But I guess that wasn't needed either, considering all the details I put in were apparently not needed in the winner's choice.
References: I constantly went back and forth and even though I hated how it came out, I thought it was pretty accurate considering all of the details I placed in- to it.
