Aesthetic

All-Around characters offer a diverse array of different looks, with no real preference towards any one aesthetic. All around characters can place well in all types of challenges, making them standouts. However, their lack of commitment to one style may be a hindrance, since they can’t pull of one style exceptionally well. 
Chic contestants embody the more upscale, mature feminine stylings. They wear their hair in more realistic hairstyles, and shy away from the wackier and bolder silhouettes that many Story Race characters are known for. This can be to their benefit or to their detriment, as their sensible design aesthetic might read as “bland” at times.
Cute characters tend to be girly characters with campy aesthetics. They prefer lighter colors and playful design inspirations. Ruffles, poofy sleeves and bows are common elements in a cute design. Cute Contestants tend to struggle in challenges that require elegance because of their natural affinity for camp.
Punk characters are a rarity on story race. Their style is grungy and alternative, and they often work with spikes, jewelry, and mismatched patterns. They prefer gunmetal grays and black instead of an array of colors. Punk aesthetic is a double edged sword in the sense that it is both distinct and restrictive.
Royal contestants stand out due to their extremely lavish aesthetic. Gold, excessive jewelry, and extravagant silhouettes are all staples for Royal contestants. Additionally, Royal aesthetics usually feature some element that harkens back to kings and queens of centuries past. Due to Royal being a unisex aesthetic, this allows Royal contestants to experiment with both feminine and masculine aspects of drag. Royal contestants tend to struggle with embracing camp.
Tricky contestants are unique cases—theyre similar to All Around contestants, however Tricky contestants tend to lean towards one aesthetic over another. Tricky characters are more experimental—whether it’s with their makeup or their clothing—and often blend multiple aesthetics into one look. Tricky characters are very versatile, but their style might become lost in translation if not harnessed correctly.
