N/A

**Envoy**, also known as **Messenger**, is a S-Tier Costume for the Dream Witch, Yidhra. It was introduced in Season 25 Essence 3.

Its essence was obtainable between March 30th and April 20th 2023.

## Concept / Design Notes

### Design Idea

As the theme of the essence for the 5th anniversary, we hope that everyone can make their dreams come true.

The whole essence takes the style of Art Nouveau of the Golden Age, to hopefully reflect a sense of vanity and joy.

The Dream Witch is the creator of this dream and the manipulator of this reality. She recasts the run-down manor into a beautiful illusion, but in the seemingly perfect dream, she releases a poisonous snake of bad luck.

### Initial Sketches

Based on the background of the messenger who delivers a bad omen, we finished the first design. The mouth was made like a doll's mouth, and we focused on giving the head and body snake characteristics, which embodies her enchanting and dangerous temperament, as well as integrating the snake design into the costume's decorations.

The second sketch. We lengthened the Dream Witch's pendulum train, and matched the follower's hair color to the Dream Witch's hair.

After refinement, the design of Envoy is completed.

### Costume Details

1. With long, gilded hair, and sparking earrings, the Envoy had put in a lot of effort into preparing the banquet. Her eyes under the black lace blindfold is a bad omen to everyone present.
2. At the center of her silk shawl is a jade snake-shaped brooch, and the gold embroidery shows the elegance of the Envoy.
3. The follower wears an antique platinum feather headband on her short blond hair, and a pearl and gemstone necklace around her neck.
4. The platinum anchor is embedded with sapphires, and the blue serpentine jewels coil around the anchor, blending in with it.

### Showroom Notes

Envoy is dressed in a long, elegant black dress, and her snake-like pupils underneath the lace blindfold are sharp and beautiful. The follower holds an anchor surrounded by jade snakes, and is looking around.

Golden cards surround the Envoy, and figures of the game participants appear, disappearing when the follower swings her anchor at them. Are they guests at the banquet, or the prey of the Envoy?

### Costume Effects

Under the cold moonlight, the Envoy gazes at the banquet in a host-like manner, watching the guests' every move.

The Envoy watches the survivors condescendingly, her body surrounded by a golden radiance.
