OC: Julesta (Version 1) - Crystals 01

From the profile. Still kicking around whether or not to keep that transparent part on the foot. Another detail about animating this is that during the battle, the transparent hakama part along with the outer dress part disappears. It's about making an object disappear to summon a weapon...but it's also a good excuse to cut all of the flowy bits from my character designs so that I can go all out animating the in-battle skills without having to worry about those getting in the way. Plus, it's just more practical to fight without capes and drape-y obstructions.
