Oh that? She is dressing as the Guan Yin, the Goddess of Comion, Mercy, and Kindness in Buddhism. She is one of the major and most worshiped in the religion (as far as i anyway).
Bodhisattva, actually. They’re not actually gods, more comparable to saints in the Catholic tradition, and specifically are beings that were about to become enlightened but decided to delay doing so in order to aid mortals. Also like saints, they tended to be adapted into the local mythology in the countries where Mahayana Buddhism flourished (Japan, Korea, and China, mainly); for example, Guanyin (Kanon or Kwanon in Japanese, where her cult was/is very popular) was originally referred to as Avalokiteshvara, and represented as male.

I can instantly recognize that outfit anywhere without google it. How? Journey to the West, my friend. It’s a classic series, i even read the books.
Makes since, given how dark and gloomy it looks… but then again who am I to question the artist’s interpretation of what Octavia’s formal wear should be?
Edited
do you meant costumes?
Thanks.

I don’t have enough HHNNNNNGGGSS to give, dammit! And i just restock 5 hours ago. Too many sugar, not enough HHHNNNGGS….now where can i find more….
Yeah, fav’d.
But then I realized it’s awesome in every of its parts.
So I faved it.
I can’t help it. I used to be sweet on a girl who plays a cello. But then I found out she was bipolar the hard way.
And kind of badass. I’m fully expecting anyone who disrespects her on the court to receive a serve to the face.
Yeah, this guy obviously loves Octavia. And it’s rubbing off on me.
