-## Character design (extrapolation)
+## Character design
 
-Chat exports show whatever avatar he was using day-to-day; **canon for the movie** is built from **personality**, **history**, and the fact **you, Agate, and Azure first crossed paths through a shared *Wings of Fire* phase**—then he stayed as the loud, status-hungry founder type.
+Canon for the movie: **femboy Killer Queen** from *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable*—with the signature pink swapped for a **slight azure / blue tint**. Chat-era avatars stay as **early-internet shorthand**; this is the hero design.
 
-- **Core read:** **Sky / court jester / “I belong near the throne.”** Cool **azure-to-teal** gradient in clothing or hair, asymmetrical silhouette (one sleeve, one dangling strap, one exaggerated earring), light **theatrical** makeup—someone who performs closeness. He should look like he **dresses for an audience**, not for inventory screens.
+- **Silhouette (from Killer Queen):** Humanoid, lean-muscular **sculpted bodysuit** read—smooth paneled torso, rounded shoulder caps, gauntleted forearms, high thigh-boot line, **cat-eared / pointed-crown** helmet with **narrow slit eyes**. Keep the iconic **skull-motif belts, shoulder pads, and kneepads** but scale them down to a **femboy** frame: **narrower waist**, **longer neck**, **slimmer hips/thighs**, softer chin under the helmet—dangerous mannequin, not bulky enforcer.
+- **Palette (lock these):** Base suit **cool pale blue / periwinkle** (Killer Queen pink, shifted ~toward azure by ~30°)—think **baby-blue porcelain** with a faint lavender undertone in shadow; **deep navy / cobalt** for the armor panels (belts, boots, gauntlets, kneepads) in place of KQ's black; **warm gold** metal for the **skull medallions** (keep them—do not recolor to silver); **mint / ice-teal** slit eyes and any glow accents. Optional **deeper teal** piping along seams for silhouette punch at distance.
+- **Markings / accents:** Retain the **skull icons** on belt, shoulders, and kneepads—this is Azure's **status-jewelry** tell ("founder badges," court-fiend medals). A single **bell** on a ribbon choker is still allowed as an audio cue for clingy movement; everything else should read like **tailored armor**, not jester scraps.
+- **John Cena shirt (required gag layer):** Over the top of the Killer Queen suit, Azure wears an **oversized John Cena tee**—classic **"YOU CAN'T SEE ME"** / **Cenation** merch, locked to **blue** (royal / electric blue, **not** the neon green or red variants), sleeves baggy over the sculpted armor. The blue reinforces the "Azure" name pun and sits just off the suit's pale periwinkle so both blues read as intentional, not camouflage. It should look **completely wrong** on the silhouette: villain-stand posture, **clown-regular** shirt. Treat it as a **running visual joke**—the shirt is always there, sometimes half-tucked, sometimes knotted at the waist, occasionally swapped for a different **blue** Cena design but **never removed** and **never recolored**. Pairs with the femboy read (oversized tee + exposed thigh-boot line = classic fit) and undercuts the JoJo menace exactly the right amount.
+- **Pose / performance:** Defaults to **arms-crossed, hip-cocked** Killer Queen coolness, but **breaks it constantly**—leaning into Rain's shoulder, peeking around doorways, flopping dramatically. The **composure is the costume**; Azure keeps **slipping** out of it. That tension (serial-killer stand vs needy femboy) is the whole joke.
+- **Do not:** Give him real Killer Queen villainy, bomb-primer fingers, or Kira's detached menace. Do **not** recolor the gold skulls; the gold is what keeps him reading as "Killer Queen reskin" and not generic blue armor. Avoid full dragon morph or WoF cosplay literalism—if you want fandom DNA, one **tiny enamel wing pin** on a belt loop is the ceiling.
+- **Vs Agate:** Agate is warm sand and sidelines, soft feathered chimera; Azure is **cool porcelain and spotlight**, hard-edged humanoid mannequin—same court, **opposite material read**.
 
-- **WoF DNA without cosplay literalism:** subtle **Pyrrhia-adjacent** easter eggs—enamel **wing** pin, scale-pattern **socks** or lining, horn-shaped hair vents, a **tail** that is clearly a **fashion tail** or belt piece (playful, not a full dragon morph). Reads as “grown up in dragon-fandom spaces” alongside Agate’s SandWing echo, but Azure’s vibe is **showy Night-Rain hybrid energy**: color-shifty accessories, flirt-forward, **attention is oxygen**.
-
-- **Founder / ex-mod subtext:** one **badge** or ribbon that looks like a stripped title (empty frame, crossed-out mod icon)—small, so it plays in close-ups. Keeps the femboy **Fizzarolli** jester lane from Identity: pointed shoe or jester boot optional, **bell** on a choker that rings when he moves—audio story for “clingy, never still.”
-
-- **Vs Agate:** Agate is dry sand and sidelines; Azure is **open sky and spotlight**—same fandom soil, opposite staging.
