|
|
The following costume components are present and appear as described below.

Complexion and Battle Tattoos
- All exposed skin is very pale, with a light gray overtones.
- The eyes are accented by heavy black eye liner and mascara.
- Dark mulberry or maroon lipstick is worn with a roughly edged darker lining.
- Finger nails are to be treated with a dark lavender or grey polish.
- Tattoos cover the head in a color that is similar to the midnight blue of the CW Ventress' shirt and skirt.
- The tattoos have softened edges, and vary in darkness.
- Tattoo patterns underline each eye, with two downward points at the outer edges. The lines extend from the inner corner of each eye and onto the sides of the nose, as well as extending from the outer corner of each eye toward the ear.
- A thinner tattoo line traces each upper eye lid.
- A pair of curved triangles are tattooed on the forehead. These triangles are lighter than the other tattoos, and point downwards.
- A tattoo line runs from each corner of the mouth down to the chin. These lines are then connected under the chin, creating a "U" shape that ends at each corner of the mouth.
- A line consisting of straight segments and curves runs along each side of the head. The lines begin with a small hook above each temple, pass just above the ear, and then curve into a larger hook at the back of the head.
- Two small triangles and a diamond pattern are located near each line in the back.
- A vertical line with two diamond patterns is located at the back center of the head. This line begins at the top of the head, and ends just above the height of the ears.
