Did Veil get a haircut?

RSI doesn't = appearance in the real.

 

RSI and actual real appearance was a detail that I missed too Cads. Rare explained it after I hit my head on my desk when I got reminded of this fact...

I had some fun coming up with how Veil and Shimada would look in the Real. I didn't want to give them radically altered bodies or anything like that, but Veil looks different without her glasses and makeup, she's probably a little leaner or more wirey, which was an attempt to give her a more "Real-istic" physique--showing muscles from hard exercise and a thinner face from maybe subsisting on synthesized chicken-flavor, and I thought it would be an interesting contrast too to give her short dark hair in the Real, vs the long white hair on her RSI, and her costume is black rather than white, and doesn't have any non-utilitarian additions like flowing coat tails or high heels. It is quite a bit different from the usual redpill garb, though, which also serves to illustrate that her source of equipment is not Zion.

Shimada's costume is closer to the standard torn sweater and dark sailor pants Zion sported in the movies, except that I couldn't resist giving her more stylish pants that are closer to her RSI. I didn't change her hair length as much as Veil's--only shortened it a bit--but pulled it back in a ponytail so that it looks different--you see her forehead rather than her RSI's long even-cut bangs, which I thought gave her a more hm monkish or at least serious appearance--and more suited to wearing on a combat ship.

Still, gotta say... it's a funky do!
