"Memory" has pale skin, long blonde hair with the upper half twisted into a braid and tied with a red ribbon, thin blonde eyebrows, lime button eyes cross-stitched with white thread and black thread resembling eyelashes, gold eyelids and eyeshadow, and red blush.

### **Outfit**

"Memory" wears a sleeveless, billowing red dress with a deep V-neck embroidered with white and a pleated crimson hem over a crimson undershirt and a cream petticoat with ruler-like markings. An abundance of random letters, envelopes, and random pieces of scrap paper are sewn beneath the petticoat, adorning the hemline of the dress. A frilly white apron is tied around her waist. Multiple blank pieces of paper wrap around her legs, and she wears red paper Mary Janes with black paper straps. Two open pages with red envelopes, lime paper, and a lone ferry ticket adorn her head. A tear is visible on her right forearm, showing cotton stuffing.

### **Item**

#### Memory Fragments

The Memory Fragments are now old crayon drawings on yellowed paper, of which Aging is crying in a thunderstorm above Homesick, who is surrounded by a golden aura and holding an umbrella, shielding himself from her tears.

#### Memory Sync

While using Memory Sync, she is wearing her complete outfit in doll form, albeit a more simplified version to not overcomplicate her smaller figure.

#### Doll

"Memory"'s Doll is now a more feminine doll with dark eyes and fair skin. It has blonde hair styled with bangs and pigtail braids, and wears a red sundress with white, long sleeves. There are yellow, dark red, green, and orange colored stripes at the bottom of its dress. A sunhat with a red ribbon, accented with a red flower perches on its head. One foot and one eye are torn off, showing cotton stuffing. A black Mary Jane is visible on its left foot.

### **Special Effects**

Small, gold particles emit and float around her.

## Concept / Design Notes

### Concept Notes

"Aging" is mainly based on "letters from home", with correspondence, graffiti, and height and size as symbols. The core expression of "Aging" is the longing for children who have never been with their families and relatives. The children will send letters from their parents and family members, children's toys left by their families, boat tickets, postcards and old newspapers left by their families——keeping it safe and waiting for the return of the family. In this process, the years passed and the children gradually grew up. Among them, the height and size chart is a hint of the growth process, and the content of the graffiti in the hands of "Aging" is a reflection of her mood.

### Initial Sketches

According to the background story of "Little Girl"-Aging costume, we decided to design a "Little Girl" image wearing paper clothes. The "Little Girl" who changed the fashion is only clever and handy, and often uses paper-cutting and graffiti to express her thoughts to her mother who is far away in a foreign land.

The first version of the sketch, the design is realistic enough, it does not reflect that the "Little Girl" is living in Sicily.

In the second version of the sketch, we took the letters and graffiti on the skirt, the size bar for measuring height and the headgear, which were better designed in the first version of the sketch, and found some realistic clothing styles in Sicily as a reference, but the "Little Girl" hairstyle and makeup design is still too ordinary.

The third edition is revised and refined at the same time, and the final draft is finalized.

### Costume Details

1. "Little girl" - Aging's facial makeup is exquisite and lovely, and she wears hair ornaments made of boat tickets, postcards, and old newspapers on her head, symbolizing her yearning and longing for her hometown and relatives.
2. "Little Girl" - Aging is wearing a red and white dress, and the doll in her hand is also wearing the same red and white dress. The vintage and yellowed paper texture of the dress reminds people of the quiet and beautiful past.
3. "Little Girl"-Aging sewed her unresolvable thoughts into her dress by herself. The letters, graffiti on the skirt and the size strip for measuring her height show that she deeply misses that long and pure childhood.

### Showroom Interface

"Little Girl"-Aging dipped into the sea water of Sicily, and the sun shone through the sea water, and the "little girl" opened her eyes amidst the sparkling light.

"Little girl"-Aging lay on the ground and shook her legs, petals floated by, paper kites flew over, and in a distant place, the family members must be thinking about themselves.

Then came in a storm, and the wind and rain came amidst the thunder. The "Little Girl" - Aging was frightened, and lowered her head to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

### Costume Effects

"Little girl"-Aging is holding the doll, and the clothes and the whole body are shining with light. This warm color floats in the dark manor, bringing long-lost vigor and vitality to the manor.
