Heh, I restarted New Vegas again and it snuck a little into that chapter. And you're right, not every pony in the wasteland has to be one or two straws away from a complete mental breakdown, though that seems to be more the norm in this fandom. Now that you mention it, schizophrenia and OCD and a little bit of narcissistic personality disorder could really open this story up...
(Kidding. DeciMayhem would never do that. DeciMayhem understands his fans and believes in his story).
I know I've been more than a little coy with releasing details about her looks. I'm not particularly fond of laying out exactly how someone appears, especially main characters, which is why I didn't come right out and say Jester was a unicorn, but instead had a scene where he used his magic (though it would have ruined the flow of CD getting her vision back if I didn't give SOME description of Jester. He did save her life after all; the least she could do was give him a semi-detailed paragraph about his looks).
I've always enjoyed reading stories where I get piece after piece about the looks of the main character over a couple of chapters: maybe a comparison to another character height-wise, or a scene involving pushing hair out of one's eyes (prologue - she's got blood-red and cream/light yellow colored hair). I intend to do the same with CD.
That being said, since you've been a really big supporter, here's an old concept drawing of her from a different story I had originally planned (I ended up scrapping the story - her character wasn't fully fleshed out at that time and the story wasn't doing her justice): The Early Days
She looks a little different now hair-wise, but as far as I'm concerned, the color palette is going to stay the same. The cover art should be coming out soon, hopefully coinciding with chapter 3 since I finally purchased a new nub for my tablet pen. Previews is Magic!
And no, you don't get to see the suit just yet. It's actually... uh, it's actually still in the design phase. Yup.
