A costume challenge

[Whitewings]

Here's a challenge for all you clever folks: Design a costume for a female brick. Here are the relevant constraints:

The character is 16 years old, and extremely beautiful. She doesn't see her herself as beautiful, though: She sees herself as being scrawny and underdeveloped. She's shy, quiet, timid, bookish, and desperately lonely.

In terms of Powers, she's pretty well your basic high-end flying brick. 80 STR, increased Leaping, Running and Swimming, variable advantage Flight, high normal and resistant defenses, some Hearing and Sight Flash DEF, and loads of Life Support. If you need more details, I'll provide them.

Hmm.. a beautiful 16 year old girl with the personality of a nerd and no self-esteem. Been my experience they wear slutty outfits to get attention.

If she sees herself as scrawny & under developed, she'd probably go for more baggy clothing.

What other personality quirks does she have?

Here's a sketch done by Sam Bell for one of my villians (Air Strike). Flying Brick as well.

In a four color universe full of other supers, she might (consiously or unconsiously) base her costume off of other female heroines she admires or respects. The could apply to a "realistic" setting as well with her borrowing costume ideas from comics (possibly facing legal action). I don't think she was consiously go for something revealing, but her outfit might flattering. It just wouldn't be design.

Well, she hates drawing attention to herself, and she's pretty well the ultimate bibliophile - to the point that if you hurt a kid, she might well hurt you back, but if you threaten a library or bookstore or anything like that... were you born an idiot, or did you pick up the trade in your early manhood?

I'll second "baggy" and add "shapeless."

My just-created teenager character wears very loose jeans and a baggy sweater. Subconsciously, it's because she has an accidental transform, and her other form would burst out of said clothes. But she's also the type to not call attention to herself. Not because she's shy, but because of her several Hunteds.

Jeans are likely a good option because they still fit when they're baggy. Also, jeans are very flattering, no matter the figure. And for a brick, I think the thick, heavy material is essential.

If you want her to be in more of a uniform, any material that's strong and can hang loose will do.

A big cape or coat in muted colors is also likely - it'll help her look bigger and less scrawny, but wouldn't make her especially stand out.

Does that help?

Oh great, an 80 STR version of The Paper.

There are similarities, yes...

I was thinking it sounded like Fairchild from Gen 13. (who was skinny and underdeveloped until she developed powers part way into their origin story.)

Now she runs around in a black and green leotard Thong. Until her clothes fall off. Which happens every issue.

Actually, I'm referring to The Paper's attitude about books.

[Jim J]

Does her flight sport wings of some sort?

What huge rack?

*looks down, shrugs*

Seems normal to me.
