Outfits
Crimson Solstice
Default
Shinku rarely concerns herself with what she wears, but this outfit suits midsummer perfectly. "…It's easy to move in. Is there a problem?"
Student of Terrasea
A neat, preppy outfit with the fresh charm of campus life. They say youth is spent either fleeing from one's inner shadow or chasing after it… and even those without a shadow will find a way to cast one. "Don't read something that ridiculous into it… Ugh, whatever."
Dragonhunter
Countless storms gather in her heart, and the dragonhunter sets forth on her quest.
Dawn Patrol
A pro-grade racing swimsuit that reveals her competitive spirit. The beach has a way of drawing out one's true self—or perhaps that is simply the thrill of cutting through the waves. "Go all out—even when you’re enjoying summer."
Labyrinth Lily
Shinku's loungewear for quiet days spent idling undisturbed among her treasures. Once a dragon has made up her mind, no force can shake her resolve. "…No. I've already decided. I'm not going out today, no matter what."
Normie Heroine
Shinku kept her head lowered, trying to vanish into the crowd. After all, if no one came close, then no one would get hurt… right?
