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 one kind of reminds me of Fern, in the Frieren anime from last season, if Fern were a sukeban and not a mage, that is. Though one could make the case that Fern is something of a sukeban mage...
