Harue (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Palmistry
Job: Voice actress
Profile: Looks sweet, but has a sharp tongue.
Default style: Lively (usually a tutu with lavender pigtails)

Taste notes:
Mainly Lively style, but it looks she'll also take Psychedelic. Buys cosplay items easily. In fact, seems to almost hunt them down. Her favourite brand appears to be Purple Moon.

Memorability: 5/5

Personal notes:
Harue has what appears to be a truly massive disposable income and a penchant for finding and buying incredibly expensive things from mannequins, and yet when she actually enters the store, she most frequently puts forth requests for whole ensembles under $200, or even under $150. (It looks as if her favourite brand is Purple Moon, so this might be where this comes from.)

I made the mistake of remembering her job as "pop idol" in a post on Miiverse... when she's really a voice actress. And yet... somehow I thought I remembered something in the game stating this, linking her to pop idols or celebrities. Hmm. It's not as if voice actresses can't be big-time celebrities, though...

Harue is a very memorable character to me due to all of the weird (and often shockingly expensive) stuff she's bought, along with her stand-out personality(?) and the bizarre divide between her in-store budget and the rest of her disposable income. Where is she pulling out these incredible sums from?? She also seems to be fond of getting repeated changes of hairstyle only to switch back to her default lavender pigtails regularly. Actually, despite running a mainly Bold and Gothic boutique for a long time, Harue has been one of my most frequent customers, not to mention my highest-paying... She kind of reminds me of Preeya because of of the variety of things she's requested and the breadth of the styles she's tried.

Harue often hangs out with Koji, although I have no idea what their relationship is actually supposed to be.

A picture of Harue from last year. She's a pop star, and appears to have an incredibly large disposable income: Here she just bought a very expensive Retro-Lively outfit I had displayed, and yet when she comes in with requests, her budget is about $150...
She actually seemed to be buying things off mannequins based on how expensive they were... It was pretty consistent over time. It's an interesting contrast.

Star Dog Trainer (SSFF Outfit)

Original Miiverse post to play journal (Oct. 13th, 2017 - apx. 10:06pm)
Tried to make a sort of dog-themed mostly-Lively outfit, but I don't think it turned out all that well. Also, kinda wrecked this shoot by doing it at night...

Original Miiverse post to play journal (Oct. 13th, 2017 - apx. 10:08pm)
Gah! I was really hoping this photoshoot would actually have a dog in it, ha ha. It would've been great to pose with the poodle toy or something... Oh well.

Original Miiverse post to play journal (Oct. 13th, 2017 - apx. 10:11pm)
Aw, what's a photo shoot for a dog show without actual dogs in it??

Eyebrows: p1, Natural
Eyeshadow: Starfish Orange (oranges)
Eyeliner: Star Cerulean (blues)
Mascara: short, Chimney Soot (dark browns)
Contacts: Cherrywood (oranges)

Short & Spiky with Choppy Full Fringe in Maple Syrup (browns) with Toasted Sesame (oranges) highlights.

Blacklight Cat (SSFF Outfit)

Original Miiverse post to play journal (June 20th, 2017 - apx. 2:21pm)
And here is another bizarre creation based around my Blacklight Cat tights (for Retrobest)[sic] and microbe-themed bag.

Original Miiverse post to play journal (June 20th, 2017 - apx. 2:25pm)
And now for a close-up in my Gaudy Retro Salon. (Which I was sorely tempted to call Curl Up & Dye.) Technically... most of this outfit falls under the Bold image.

Makeup

Unfortunately I didn't write down the full details. I know the makeup uses Electric Blue or something like it, I think for the eyeshadow, and maybe some kind of blue-green... I'm pretty sure the lips are actually a dark green and not black...

Hair

The hair is the Cat Ears hairstyle, which when viewed from the front sort of lines up with the cat ears hairband... Otherwise, what we have here is a woman (?) with six ears... flagrantly running around wearing two sets of cat ears in addition to her own.

Outfit

Inner: Atomic Flower Cami (light blue and black), Retrobeat, Psychedelic and Bold 
Outer: Two-Tone Blazer (bluegreen and black), Retrobeat, Psychedelic and Bold
Skirt: Dalmatian Print Miniskirt (bluegreen), Retrobeat, Psychedelic and Bold
Leggings: Blacklight Cat, designed tights for Retrobeat, Psychedelic
Footwear: Leopard Loafer-Style Pumps (bluegreen and black), AZ-USA, Bold
Headwear: Leopard Ear Headband (bluegreen), Purple Moon, Bold and Rock
Neckwear: Jewelled Choker (black and dark green), Enid Chen, Chic
Bag: Microbiotibag, designer bag for Stage Dive, Rock

Microbiallerina (SSFF Outfit)

Original Miiverse post to play journal (June 20th, 2017 - apx. 2:16pm)
I call this nightmarish creation the Microbiallerina.

Original Miiverse post to play journal (June 20th, 2017 - apx. 2:19pm)
And here is a close-up, showcasing the fact that I have little better to do with my time today.

A similar setup to my Blacklight Cat outfit but with no jacket, a tutu, and a hair bow. Deliberately weird looking.

Makeup

I didn't make any notes on it at the time. I'll have to reconstruct it from the picture. I can really only guess at this point.

Hair

Topknot with braided fringe in black with some kind of blue highlights. I didn't record exact details at the time...

Outfit

Inner: Atomic Flower Cami (light blue and black), Retrobeat, Psychedelic and Bold
Skirt: Polka Dot Tutu (bright blue and black), Retrobeat, Psychedelic and Lively
Leggings: Blacklight Cat, designer tights for Retrobeat, Psychedelic
Footwear: Disco Ball Flats, Retrobeat, Psychedelic
Headwear: Quirky Polka Dot Bow (brown and bluegreen), Retrobeat, Psychedelic
Bag: Microbiotibag, designer bag for Stage Dive, Rock

Notes

Almost surprisingly, this whole weird ensemble is a legitimate Psychedelic outfit within the game, except for the bag... which is probably still excusable as an accent piece.

My Blacklight Cat tights are my response the "Assymetrical Tights" designer request. Of course I had to do something weird. One leg is black, and the other has bright blue and blue-green animal print. The highlights might be Emerald Ocean or another blue-green, I'm not sure. I like this item, and it's one I'd prefer to keep... but the tight limit on designer items and inability to do multiple production runs on the same item kind of limit its lifespan, if I want to keep making more stuff...

The Microbiotibag (a rock design for Stage Dive) is technically classified as green, due to using a blue-green for the base... but I really should have used a base colour from the blue family, like the tights, in order to have some hope of the game recognizing it as matching the tights.

Retro Yukata (SSFF Outfit)

Retro yukata with cat bag.

Original Miiverse post to play journal (June 22nd, 2017 - apx. 12:33pm)
Close-up. The bow is the studded bow, and the hair has green tints to match the make-up.

Makeup

Eyeshadow: Gold Bell (yellows)
Eyeliner: Golden Star (yellows)
Mascara: medium, Jet Black
Contacts: Taylor Green (greens?)
Blush: full cheek (setting 1) in Caramel (oranges)
Lipstick: glossy Lantern Light (pinks)

The eye makeup appears green, but is actually all yellow. The green contacts further this illusion.

Hair

I didn't write down any notes on the hair. It appears to be a volumized ponytail with a straight fringe in all black, possibly with very dark green highlights.

Outfit

Body: Retro Print Kimono, Kanokoi, Eastern
Footwear: Arrow Pattern Sandals, Kanokoi, Eastern
Headwear: Studded Bow, Retrobeat, Psychedelic
Bag: Cat Face Bag, Retrobeat, Psychedelic

Alien Ballerina (SSFF Outfit)

Another one I put together for EvilOverlordXIII's 2017 ballerina contest.

A tutu-wearing extraterrestrial.

"I suspect something is wrong on this backwater planet. None of their men are wearing tights."

Makeup

Eyebrows: p4, Short Fine Taper
Eyeshadow: Hot Pepper (reds)
Eyeliner: Emerald Ocean (blue-greens)
Mascara: medium, Night Rose (reds)
Contacts: Green Balloon (blue-greens)
Blush: full cheek (setting 1) in Starfish Orange (oranges)
Lipstick: matte Hibiscus (red)

The makeup is almost pointless, since it's mostly obscured by the visor.

Outfit

Inner: Ballerina Bodice (light pink with red and gold), Purple Moon, Babydoll
Skirt: Cute Fairy Skirt (red), Purple Moon, Lively
Socks: Colour Bubble Socks (pink and red), Retrobeat, Psychedelic
Footwear: Sparkly Ballet Flats (white with red and gold), Purple Moon, Chic(?)
Headwear: Bumblebee Hairband (red), Purple Moon, Lively
Glasses: Cosmic Visor (red stars), Purple Moon, Psychedelic
Neckwear: Colourful Dog Collar (red), April Bonbon, Lively and Girly
Gloves: Cosmic Gloves (red), Purple Moon, Psychedelic

Ambra (SSFF Character)

Hobby: DIY
Job: Tour bus guide
Profile: Maintains that she met the real Santa.
Default style: Psychedelic with Lively elements

Taste notes:
No idea. She appears to mostly be into the Psychedelic style with some elements of Lively, but I'm still not sure how much into Lively she is. I neglected to write down any notes of colours she liked the few times I've served her as a customer.

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
I've only changed her outfit once or twice. I actually tend to avoid her as a customer for fear of changing that nice default look of hers... I've always been taken with her default look. That weird mint green natural side ponytail with that jacket and the weird top and pants...

Original Miiverse post (June 2017):
Picture from last year. I'd been hanging on to it for a while. Ambra has maybe my top favourite default look of all the characters other than Susie. I think it was Susie, anyway...

Ambra coming in for a change to her makeup...
Original Miiverse post (June 2017):
Well... I can... but are you really sure you want that? I mean... Oh, well. It can't turn out worse than the tall, elegant office lady who came in and requested to look like a teenage pop star with lime green eyelashes.
