Kinda makes her look chea- no! Special. And unique. And elegant. And perfect

It's been pointed out that some of the details on her new outfit are representative of her friends, and many seem to agree that the cross on her stomach is another reference to Arlecchino, but I think it's more representative of the Four Orthants and Sandrone herself.

As a refresher, the concept of the four orthants refers to the qualities that form a complete human being, as proposed by Rene. These are divided into the orthants of wishes, memory, soul, and persona.

In her old design, she had three separate points on the front of her dress, but in her new design, they became four united points. I believe that this is representative of her discovering something within herself that finally made her complete.
As to which orthant it is, there's this flashback right before her "death" where Alain asked her one specific question.

Alain: "Is there anything you wish for?"

Sandrone: "Not really"

There is also a very interesting implication if she designed this appearance before her death. When she was speaking to us about the Narzissenkreuz Ordo, she heavily criticized the idea of dedicating and sacrificing one's life for one's ideology. Maybe she believed that the only time she'd ever "die" would be when she chose to for a worthy cause, and when she'd finally understand what it is like to wish.

She really does admire them very dearly.

"I hope these peaceful days can keep going for a long, long time."

It might seem obvious, but by the way that I'm seeing some certain people act recently, I think it must be reiterated.

Some people just interpret the "pull characters that you like" advice at face value, and end up being pressured to impulsively pull a character with a kit that they don't find enjoyable, which may then ruin their perception of a character. And then there are those people who would see someone pull for cons and BIS units for a character and say that "now that's a true fan" as if people who don't are less so.

What I’m trying to say is that you don't have to spend and you don't even have to own a character to like the character. If you only like the character and not the kit, if you don't pull a character, the kit might not be available to you, but content involving the character does still exist outside your character roster. Even character exclusive stories, or voicelines are available for viewing if you just look them up. they're not gonna be deleted from your personal Irminsul if you skip.

Skipping a character does not make you a fake fan, but if you still decide to pull a character you love with a kit you don't like that much, because you just love them so much, let me say this. Without luck involved, Every character costs the same, but the effort you have to put on them, and the results of that effort, are not. Case in point, a Mavuika fan will find more satisfaction in pulling for Mavuika, as they can play with their favorite character in all of the game's content with moderate farming and costs. While a Xiao fan would have to minmax everything just to do the same. People would complement their dedication, sure, but I'm of the opinion that struggle and pain isn't the best measure of enjoyment of something.

"Pull the characters that you like" but remember that when you pull for a character, you also pull for a kit. So consider how comfort affects your enjoyment of the game.

This was written by someone who is planning on pulling for Lohen, and the first part was mainly addressed to other Lohen fans, but the rest are a more general advice for all limited characters.
