Made from hand-painted shimmersilk and fine-spun linens, Jasper's robes are adorned with her personal sigil: a heraldic rose in the colors of red, blue, and yellow. Red petals for the blood of those who have fought for justice, yellow centers as the point of positivity, with leaves of blue to symbolize the freedom through growth. In addition, she also wears her 'good-luck' striped socks as well as custom made repulser skates for easy travel across her throne room. (And for fun.)

The fabrics uses are the finest leather quality one can find. All very soft and souple as not to hinder movement in any way

to explain... as a joke I said I would make them puce with vermilion trim. at this point on of my clan piped in with chartreuse? sure! rhinestones? On the butt pocket, little hearts. Oh, and those goofy fake feathers they sell on dream catchers out west. Down the sleeves!

well it didn't turn out exactly like that, but...

So here you go.

The Robe is made of a rare and luxerious silk found in certain areas of Kat's home world. The eyes on the dress are gems given to Katyusha by the heads of the other houses in Clan Scholae Palatinae
