Description

I have been doing some work with MidJourney to imagine what a particular character in my next novel looks like. She is a sukeban, or "bad girl", which is a trope like gyaru but sort of diametrically-opposed. Sukeban tend to wear what looks like an old-fashioned "sailor suit" school uniform, but with a longer skirt that you might think, usually cut below the knee. They carry bokken, wooden practice swords, and congregate in gangs. If you watched the anime Rokudo's Bad Girls, Ranna is pretty much the archetype of a sukeban.

This young lady does not exactly fit the archetype since she isn't wearing the sailor shirt/bow normally associated with it, but that's probably only because it was in the laundry that day.
