Costuming


Insufferable


Split by pain. Shirt's cloudy pattern is as nebulous and confused as she is. At her wit's end, Leila unravels herself, literally frayed at the edges and seams like her sweater. Empowered (and enraged), Jade is a dragon herself.

In search of help for her chronic pain, Leila goes to the doctor. After being belittled and turned away, Leila’s best friend, Jade, proposes another solution.

LEILA: Feminine, soft, sweet. At her most lethal moment, she does not shy away from her pink self.

JADE: Rougher around the edges, more of a streetwear-girl. She matches Leila when they go on their retributive justice venture.

DOCTOR: Sterile, cold professional. 
LEILA inspo board. JADE inspo board.
