Under The Tartosan Sun

Liberty is so pretty and that red dress is fabulous! I hope's she truly happy. Maybe I'm reading too much into things, but I do worry for her a little bit. She sounds like she may resent her past-self and there's nothing wrong with having a casual or a masculine/tomboyish look.

I really want to look like who I am, a full grown woman. Not some tomboy. As a child and a teen that was who I was. I was more interested in video games than clothes, hair, and makeup. I was interested in those things, just not as much. Working in my office, we’re expected to look polished and professional. Once I started dressing like that for work the tomboy spell was broken. I really liked what I saw in the mirror when I was done getting ready. I felt pretty, mature, and fierce. That’s who I am now and I want my wardrobe to reflect the new me.

It's interesting to see that she equates the new look with being "pretty, mature, and fierce"? when she was always pretty, and could likely have been mature/fierce with a tomboyish style. Maturity comes with age (hopefully) and fierceness with experience. Matteo even says that she was always pretty... <3 As for office work, I find that the lowest ranking people are those who have to look the most "professional", those with a lot of skills can often adopt a more comfortable appearance and focus more on things that are directly related to their work because everyone knows that they have the skills to back it up. I just hope that she feels as confident in herself without the new clothes and the makeup. She and Matteo should have all the happiness.
