## Appearance

### **Physical**

Emma's skin is a transparent white with her face being a little more opaque than the rest of her body. Her hair is white and tied into a bun, her eyes are light blue with little navy droplets under her eyes. Emma's nails are completely white, while her lips are purple.

### **Outfit**

She dons a pale blue ball gown with silver embellishments. The bottom of the gown is completely torn off with a few cuts on the sleeves. The gown is paired with a diamond necklace, pink droplet earrings and a translucent pale blue princess crown. On her head there is also a blue flower crown braided from different blue shade roses and navy fern leaves. Emma wears a pair of ballet flats with a pink and blue flower on the toes. A ghostly butterfly is attached to the heels of the left shoe. She is embraced by ghostly vines with pink and blue roses blooming from them, and pale butterflies sitting on them. Her outfit is now more princess-like which more reflects the initial assumption of the outfit.

### **Object**

Emma's toolbox is a small silver cage (now more slender and tall), with vines flowering in blue and pink (flowers are now smaller, and more in number). There is a light blue flame inside of the cage.

## Concept / Design Notes

### Official Website

On the night of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, thousands of families gather together. But there are always people who can only hide their deep thoughts secretly and look forward to reunion in their dreams. Under the gentle moonlight, the ghost princess longed to fly to the person she misses and pour out her heart.

**Moonlight fantasy, more homesickness**

Light, beautiful, flexible, free and strong. She is the darling of the moonlight, the princess of the night, and also symbolizes happiness and beauty. The gardener under the high wall in the cold night fantasizes that she has become a ghost princess, and the little ghost in the spirit lantern will accompany her to fly over the high wall, fly past the pain, fly across the shore, return to her father's side, and retrieve the warm and happy life. What she misses most is the happy girl who was spoiled by her father like a little princess.

**Dead branches wrapped in flowers, accompanied by ghosts**

The ghostly movement is the most important feature of the gardener's S-Tier costume "Ghost Princess" — the crown of dead branches and flowers, like the crown of the princess, symbolizes death and rebirth. Spirit butterflies and points of light linger around her, creating a translucent visual effect, like a light ghost that can fly away from its confined place at any time.

In her young life, Emma never forgot the painful memories of the past.

Some girls dream of becoming a princess, but the sensible Emma has gone through joys and sorrows, and she has already surpassed those pure fantasies. Gorgeous clothes, expensive tiaras, exquisite dancing shoes... all of which do not exist in the world she longs for. In the lonely night, her only wish is to be that ordinary girl who was pampered by her father like a princess. She used to be the apple of someone's eye, but now, under the high walls in the cold night, she doesn't know whether she is going to die or not. “It would be great if there was someone who helped me at that time”, but the familiar figure she was longing for never appeared.

The days and nights when her physical body was trapped in the hospital, looking at the moon in the sky, Emma imagined that her soul would break free, and she would fly away from this confinement like a light ghost - relying on such fantasies to support herself. But fantasies are only fantasies, and freedom cannot be freed for only one day, and her young and vigorous will, as fresh as a flower, began to wither in the dark corner.

The “Ghost Princess” in Emma's fantasy is simple and lively, with all her charms gone. She only seeks illusory happiness and cherishes the memories of her deceased family. If she became her, maybe she could relive the touch of warmth on the other side.

———————————

The torn, striped hospital gown was her shackle from that time. Dead branches and flowers are woven into a round hat, and the dead branches and tender vines are wrapped around her body, which contains the reoccurring struggle between disappearance and rebirth. Life is not static, but extended, and the moment the body and mind are completely separated may grant a new life.
