except EVEN CUTER

Defined Colors

Her main style is themed around three central colors and three accent colors:

• Main: 16,33,9: This is Ellie's main thematic color.
• Skirt: 19,0,0 stickers, 31,0,0 regular: The off-white compensates jank sticker blending.
• Accent: 4,33,7: This is mainly used in patterns.
• Jewelry: 22,8,9: She has lots of jewelry and favors gold.
• Prismium: 28,33,7: Prismium is an enchanted alloy that takes a tinge of its user's thematic color.
• Serge: 16,54,9: The main place she keeps a representation of her bestie is the flower in her hair.

These colors are derived:

• Heart: Visual match to $Accent - Default is 1,33,7
• Skirt Band: $Main +2,0,0 - Default is 18,33,9

The rococo skirt is naturally darker than the simple top, so to make a visual color match, increase the brightness of $Main by 2. Unfortunately the heart isn't quite so easy. Sticker colors are messed up in this game and have a weird blending mode. The heart is supposed to be the accent color, but if you use the accent color, it will blend into the shirt! On the other end, the bright colors go way brighter than underlying clothing can actually be, so that's why $Skirt is defined as darker than actual white.

First things first!

Press start and disable equipment breaks on all three levels.

Body

• Physique: Height Recommended / Average / All dials to -12, muscle definition 2.
  • She's gotten stronger, have to show that!
  • Canonically she's height 3, but for balance we keep her the recommended height for whatever style she is using.

• Hair: Wavy Bob: 7,4,3
• Eyebrows: 16: 2,4,9
  • The only happy-looking eyebrows in the game are so thin and wispy... so we have to make them really dark to compensate, and really crank up the saturation to get any color to show.
• Eyes: $Main / 31,0,0
  • Don't change her eye color on alts unless you're also changing hair color.

Patterns & Stickers

The easy ones

The pattern on her hairband is Modern 19, with colors 8,33,9 / 31,0,0. Set the angle slider one notch left of center. Avoid changing this for alts; this represents a gem called Prismite that gives her strength, and it is colored to match her thematic color.

The heart on her shirt is pretty simple. It's Motif 7.

• Color: $Heart
• Application method: Projection
• Size: 25
• Angle: 0
• Move vertically: 15
• Move horizontally: 0
• Vertical angle: 0
• Horizontal angle: 0
• No flips

She has cute little stars on her shoes! They require two and are both Motif 12.

• Color: 12,8,6
• Location: Left leg / Right leg
• Application method: Projection
• Size: 0
• Angle: -2 / 2
• Move vertically: -11
• Move horizontally: 0
• Vertical angle: 50
• Horizontal angle: -1 / 1
• No flips

The skirt

On her skirt, the patterned band effect is acheived by using a pattern, then slapping three huge white square stickers over it on the sides and the front.

First, if you're using the default white skirt color, set the third color of the rococo skirt to 31,0,0. Remember, bright stickers are much brighter than underlying clothing, so make sure to match the 3rd slot of the skirt by sight if you use something else. The pattern on the first two slots is Basic 13 with colors $Main / $Main / $Accent, size 11 right of center and angle 5 left of center. The idea is that the dots should look like they're spiraling when the skirt is splayed out.

Then, starting from the second sticker slot, add three Motif 3s. You only need two stickers to cover the skirt, but dark colors have jacked up blending so you need three to cover the spots that are only covered once. This arrangement keeps them balanced. They only differ in circumference location.

• Color: $Skirt
• Location: Hips
• Application method: Rotation
• Size: 88
• Angle: 0
• Move on axis: 50
• Move on circumference: 0 / 25 / -25
• No flips

One more sticker to make; it's the thing that looks like a chain or something hanging from her right hip. This is meant to be a jingly coin band with a gem in the center. Use Motif 28:

• Colors: 9,8,7 / 4,33,9
• Location: Hips
• Application method: Projection
• Size: 50
• Angle: 24
• Move vertically: 0
• Move horizontally: -13
• Vertical angle: 50
• Horizontal angle: 0
• No flips

Picture

Congratulations, by being in this section you have demonstrated that you really give a shit about getting this right.

• Pose 2 / Smiling / Looking at Camera / Show Weapon
• Background 61
• Back Frame 34
• Front Frame 74

Zoom in so that only a small part of her skirt is visible in the frame and position it so that her head is centered on the top 1/3. Angle slightly above; selfie angle~! Snap it whenever it looks right to you; there's no real motion here.

Congratulations, you just made Ellie! Here's a gold star. 🌟 Please be nice to her, okay?
