Description I have been so inactive guys, I am so so sorry, work is finally letting up some and I have a new coworker so that I don't have to work every singe day of the week. I have pretty much figured out Syb's design so I felt like a more official reference sheet was in order. Its like 1am so I am probably going to forget some stuff but I didn't write much on the sheet, so most of my notes are going to go in the description.

Name: Sybil Arado
DOB: September 21st, 1882
Height: 155cm (5'1")
Weight: 54kg (119lbs)
Occupation: "florist" because she technically does own a flower shop and mafia boss probably doesn't look good on applications

Appearance is fairly self explanatory, she is pretty small and wears her hair up most of the time because frankly it's a pain and it gets in the way when she's working. She's slightly tan, but not as much as her mother / grandmother. The neck tattoo (its not a tattoo but I am going to call it that) is actually branded with a hot iron so it is scar tissue and slightly raised. Also she doesn't get that until she's 33ish, in 1915. Its basically so that she can be recognized within her family's own organization, her grandmother, great aunt, and cousin all have the same branding.

The dates on the outfits are around the time she begins wearing them. She's a housemaid from 1904-1908, and still will wear that outfit while cleaning, or just around the house, but generally won't wear it when going out or traveling.

When she gets promoted she works more as a secretary, and just general running day-to-day business in the house. (Note: Syb has shitty vision, not enough to really impact her work but she could really use glasses. Those are not her glasses. She refuses to get glasses because she thinks they make her look old. Those are Yoki's reading glasses which probably make her vision twice as bad because she is nearsighted, but they make her "look more professional" so she is convinced into wearing them whenever they have to go to a meeting. She is always very salty about this, but she can't see shit so she can't fight him).

The dress is for hostessing mostly, and when business coincides with parties. Also I apologize because this part is hella out of order. The next outfit is what she wears inside after she begins running parts of the organization. Its mostly for meeting clients when she doesn't want everyone and their sister to know she is running an illegal business out of her flower shop. This way she can leave the house like a normal person. The next two are just sets of normal clothes she owns and can wear when she doesn't need to look professional. She does a bit of traveling around after the events of the Promised Day in canon, mostly for her grandmother, and sometimes it requires wearing pants- much to her dismay.

This box of random stuff probably needs the most explanation, but honestly I was just trying to fill space because I forgot what I was doing. Fun facts:
- Syb starts going grey around 35, its hereditary but it probably doesn't help that she is easily stressed out
- She likes fancy clothes but I think we've already established that
- Her neck tattoo is of a rose, her family's symbol, and it took a lot of convincing to get her to agree to getting it because she is not really about that thug life, she also wears her hair down more after this point to keep it covered
- She doesn't know much more about fighting than basic self defense, but she is pretty strong for her size. She probably couldn't beat you in a fight but she probably could carry you around for a bit
- Her favorite perfume is Lily of the Valley because it smells good and is highly poisonous and she thinks thats pretty cool

I think thats all omg, I am free and can finally work on other things
Also feel free to ask me questions about her I love answering questions and have entirely too much superfluous info on her.

Love this reference!~ She is such a beautiful woman!~
One question though. You say her tattoo is of a rose, yet it looks more like a hibuscus flower is that supposed to look like that?
Also does she wear flats for her maid outfit? It just looks like the heel is missing just in case you might've forgot.

Either way, she's lovely in every way!~<3

aaaaah thank you so much! ;v;
It is a rose! Its just that its kind of a simplified version of a heraldic rose since a lot of small details would be hard to draw and also probably wouldn't have turned out clearly if branded onto someone. It does look a lot like a hibiscus though, heraldry isn't exactly the most accurate, but it was simple which was mainly what I was going for. It was either that or the lily, which is the fleur-de-lis and is already a super recognizable symbol for France so I didn't want to use that.

Also yes they're flats, I didn't feel like redrawing her feet OTL
It would be hard to clean in heels.

ajshdjks thank youuu, she's grown into a very interesting young lady (nowhere near what I was originally planning on, which probably explains all the changes and constant revisions 'D)

oh ok then!~ Thanks for clearing that up.

haha oh ok then! No it's fine alot of people when doing refs use the same pose and change the clothing. It keeps things simple!~

you're very welcome!~
lol she's taken on a personality of her own.
