Use the costume as a **running visual joke** (beak tilts, hood slips but never fully falls) and as **plot armor for the secret**—the Chorus can squint at Rooster all day and not clock her. +- **Palette cue:** Lean warm—**cream / off-white hood**, **orange beak**, optional **red comb peek** at the crown if you want more "rooster" read; keep it close to the movie's storybook flat-color look rather than photoreal feathers. +- **Do not:** Give full rooster anatomy, visible human face, or a gendered body shape under the cloak.
