some nun lady: pale grey, almost pinkish skin tone with notably thin, narrow irises and furrowed brows — undoubtedly distinct from all other character designs ingame . the zombie specified to have "bone-white complexion": the same skin tone and facial features as 90% of the cast.

the second arle noticed fear in furina's eyes, gathering that she did not have the power to fight back fairly, she left the scene — and she has atoned for it since then, having lyney deliver cakes for her to enjoy (within the guise that they aren't sent under her orders). ↓.

if they tell us that a character design is offensively depicted, we should listen. and if they tell us to be quiet and step aside so that they can educate the playerbase (and the corporation) on what we're fighting for, then we most definitely need to listen. (2/2).

that doesn't mean he isn't a rather critical individual. the system is harsh, so he takes upon the harshness he has learned so well. what's important is deciphering the difference between finding people to be ignorant and lacking any respect or understanding for the ignorant.
