Heraldry 紋章 ヘラルドリ

So sorry for so late updates, I have been busy, this blog won't be over until the end of this year as I said, I'll still do my best for this blog, so don't worry in case you are. 
I'm interested in the space cards in the latest episode but due to the materials available, it ain't likely to make oricas of the series yet so until then, we have "Heraldry" series.
Thought of moving this post to the next month because it ain't match the theme for this month. Anyway, I think some will want oricas on these series, "Heraldry" as in this post so it's published earlier.



"Heraldry" series is used by one of the major antagonist in ZEXAL, Tron which signify this series, setting it in this blog.
Tron, more or less associates with this "Heraldry" series due to his medieval appearance and armors especially the metallic crowned mask that reveals parts of his face. After all, the origins of heraldry lie in the need to distinguish participants in combat when their faces were hidden by iron and steel helmets.
"Heraldry" monsters are all beast monsters which so far featured Dragon-Type, Bird-Type and Beast-Type which as figured by the sub series name, "Heraldry Beast". Although even that "Heraldry King" are of beast resemblances and references. Tentatively, all "Heraldry" is likely to be all beast monsters, or without any of anthropological appearances.
Thematically, "Heraldry" monsters wear coats of arms and other armorial bearings, the coat of arms are mostly golden foiled frames on the monsters, although there is white featured coat of arms. "Heraldry Beast" monsters are with simple but sophisticated coat of arms whereas "Heraldry King" monsters are more that armorial bearings, with additional textile clothings which absent in "Heraldry Beast" monsters. "Heraldry" monsters ain't completely concealed in armors, thus exposing part of the body, punctiliously organic traits such as horns, fangs, claws, talons, spikes, wings, tails, beak and feathers, and hairs. While the word which translate to heraldry also correlating to crest, "Heraldry Beast" monsters seems to have crests which is not the same as in color scheme, but the crests share similar pattern of three triangle surrounding the center.
"Heraldry" series consists of two sub series, which is "Heraldry Beast" and "Heraldry King". The particular pattern of sub series can be seen as the convention for several series introduced in ZEXAL, imbued a new dynamism and a dramatically different styles for card series.
Subsequently, discuss and disclose about the card names of the series, "Heraldry".
Heraldry is the profession, study, or art of creating, granting, and blazoning arms and ruling on questions of rank or protocol, as exercised by an officer of arms.
Heraldry comes from Anglo-Norman herald, from the Germanic compound harja-waldaz, "army commander". The word, in its most general sense, encompasses all matters relating to the duties and responsibilities of officers of arms.
To most, though, heraldry is the practice of designing, displaying, describing, and recording coats of arms and heraldic badges.
Historically, it has been variously described as "the shorthand of history" and "the floral border in the garden of history." The origins of heraldry lie in the need to distinguish participants in combat when their faces were hidden by iron and steel helmets. Eventually a formal system of rules developed into ever more complex forms of heraldry.
And more or less about the card effects. "Heraldry" series featured most card effects which are fresh if not the first to the games which most fortify Exceed Monsters, although not unexpected, "High Medallion Arts" allows an Exceed Summon using monsters from the Graveyard.
Then, we talks about "Heraldry King Genome Heriter". By the way, the card art of "Heraldry King Genome Heriter" is from one of the anime scenes, for the actual card illustration, you can find it in the NUMBERS No. ナンバーズ post. As usual, I dropped "Heraldry King Genome Heriter" from the "Number" series.
The card effects of "Genome Heriter" is one of a kind, which not known as available effects for any monsters out there although there are those who copy card names as well as copy card effects but there ain't any which cause monsters to lose their card names. This effects is likely to facade attitude to feign, also Tron's ability which make one forget about oneself or another.
"Heraldry King Genome Heriter" can literally steal an opponent's monster's card name, leaving it with no name. I hope that the real life release of this card will be resume with this prodigious effect. This potential effect of "Heraldry King Genome Heriter" provises a possibility of making use of the opponent's cards.



In the end, by the recent episodes in ZEXAL, Xyz is evidenced to be the official and exact English translation of what we call here Exceed Monsters.
Anyway, I will still go on with Exceed because it's too late for a turning back, I can't change all of those... and if I can't change them all, I won't change at all because it's not pertinent to not correlate to the previous.
Other than that, I'll still stay with Exceed Monster instead of Xyz Monster which is more right for me, to be along with other Monster Card Type, Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, all these are legitimate term, Synchro is apparently abbreviated from Synchronization, although Exceed ain't the exact translation, the katakana ain't meant Exceed... but Exceez if accordingly... which this word don't exist... very much like Synchro. I will use either Exceez or Exceed, after all, at least Exceed ain't ridiculous for me as Xyz... I'm sure there are people will pronouce it as XYZ Monsters and says XYZ summon... okay, that's superfluous indeed...

Butterfly 蝴蝶 バタフライ





And so we have here today, the beautiful butterflies which I should have posted about last month, the month where these "Butterfly" series first featured in ZEXAL anime. Anyway, it ain't very likely to put it in that month... compared this month of couple and duo which discern the pulchritudinous pair of papillon wings, as it's very one of the why it's the month of Valentine... I think.
Well, that ain't the case already as I moved the post to this month which the theme is beauty, which also befitting to butterflies.

The owner of these "Butterfly" cards are sure show born bond with her cards, a beautiful lady, Droite. She is with apparent appearance alike with her signature card, "Photon Butterfly Assasin" who is a female antropological butterfly prominent with variety of purple hues, followed by her fair and fine features.
Actually, I shouldn't say it out her name because her name is suggestive... which will lead me to her partner which I will have to post his cards as well which the series card arts available, if not unavailable, are all in low quality. So, I cannot make at least average orica out of them.
Accurately, "Butterfly Assassin" is the series of cards used by her, not "Butterfly" and these "Butterfly Assassin" ain't Insect-Type monsters as most of us would have thought to be, which is common as other anthropological Insect-Type monsters. Either sense of semblance or semblance of sense, this is rather ridiculous for me... which I changed it here, to be relevant... If only these are actually Insect-Type monsters...
"Butterfly Assassin" series playing style consists in using many strategies to wangle and weaken enemy's monsters, mainly by changing their Battle Positions. Which this one reminds me of an "Assasin" who guard the grave who she can change the Battle Position of monsters... This is actually a very appropriate effect for assasin who aim for the debile defense or infirm offense and assasinate the target.
Sorry, can't be blunt about that grave guarding "Assasin", it'll be suggestive, so think it out yourself...
Whereas the weakening effects must be result of the scales sprinkles, enervating the affected, more or less.






As usual, I'll blabber about the title or themes associate to it. Butterfly is of beauty, which is also why I even make oricas of these cards... and also that their original owner is a beauty herself...
Although I said that butterflies are of beauty but they ain't all attractive as some of them imitate the surrounding to camourflage in it, ironically, they're all beautiful but of course with distinguished calibers.
The beauty of butterflies are particularly on their pair of wings, the patterns, the style and shape of the wings. Artistic depictions of butterflies have been used in many cultures. Today, butterflies are widely used in various objects of art and jewelry: mounted in frame, embedded in resin, displayed in bottles, laminated in paper, and used in some mixed media artworks and furnishings. Butterflies have also inspired the butterfly fairy as an art and fictional characters.

The beauty of butterflies is transient, it's brittle, tends to break easily.
Which correlate to the coming topic I'll talk about, it's a rather recurring one, I relate on this before but this one is better. Beauty is only skin deep which here only scale deep, this one ain't share the same meaning as beauty is superficial, it tells how transient, how thin beauty is, as it won't last ever.
For those who say beauty ain't everything because it fades. Let me ask you one thing, life ain't everything because it's finite? Life ain't everything because it will finish?
Life is ephemeral, life will end eventually, that's why we will have appreciate it and do our best for it, not that it'll end that we'll end up doing nothing. Beauty will not last long, that's why we will have to appreciate it and acknowledge about it, attempt to attain it or more of it but not too much about it. And actually beauty does last, by passing down to our offspring. That's why humans are lookism, nope, life are lookism because we are meant to be, life see and select for the ideal for sake of their offsprings so that they can survive and sustain their life.
The world continues the way, unsightly because of those being not lookism. We need to get all the good traits to the coming generations, that's why I must be lookism, that's why we must be lookism so that our sons, our daughters will be of beauties... and will not experience my painful past of lookism.
I can conceive that my earlier ancestors ain't all lookism, because they ain't the rich one to do so... marry and mate whoever available... remaining the recessive and repulsive traits to their descendants...
I'm a grandson, second generation of a miscegenation, both my parents are of the same races but my grandparents of my mom side ain't... blend of different oriental bloods, but not all best bloods... both of them... After all, I'm glad that I got more of my dad side's genes which purvey me the potential of becoming a bishies... uh uh... I don't think it's from my dad though, he is a very handsome guy, however the masculine and manly type...
I read some scientific statements about life lookism, looks help in survival and to sustain life. And of all, looking good meaning that one's healthy, fair and fine skin, feminine facial features make one look young, bright and brilliant.
People will always deny and defy lookism and beauty is everything, well, those who ever praised people for being pretty, attended or attracted to beauty, ummm... still you summore repudiate that you're lookism? Well, I'm happy that you did that because you are indeed a human, I ain't saying this sarcastically, it's wise to do in that way. The truth is that we live in a world with people who ain't all beautiful but we need each others to live, for instance, artists who are of beauty need fandom and fanatics but no all fans are of beauty but we can't discriminate them as we depend on them... that's what I don't do, I'll be blatant on lookism, that's why I lost many and more of my fans, I insisted on this truth that's why I'm the fool but after all my past, what He wanna tell me is that beauty is everything indeed... All I want is only make others aware about the truth for the time to come...
Summore, I read some social statements that beautiful people actually are amiable and more affable. The truth furthers as follows.
People subconsciously assign positive characteristics such as intelligence and virtues to beautiful people. Studies confirm this assumption. We then treat these people better than we treat others. Studies confirm this as well. The unprovable hypothesis is that beautiful people are beautiful on the inside as well. As a result of having been beautiful and therefore benevolent treated children they develop a positive self-image and treat others as they have learned others treat them. This continues into adulthood creating beautiful people that are better and benevolent than less beautiful people. Thus beautiful looking people become truly beautiful people by feedback way of a self fulfilling prophecy. Our experience with beautiful people being benevolent fuels are expectation by way of a psychological phenomenon known as association that similar looking (and therefore also beautiful) people will also be benevolent. People treat them better and they treat them benignly in turn further developing their own good character.
Anyway, there is flaw about the assumption that if beautiful people are treated well, they will become mature, thoughtful, tender-hearted individuals who treat others well. No doubt it is sometimes the case, but those people who experience a bit adversity often develop into exceptionally uncharitable, self-centered individuals...
Before I share about my case, I will wanna say something,
I'm one of the case above, uncharitable, self centered..... in case it's about my childhood who I'm considered as beautiful people, but the painful past happens during my pathetic intermediate adolescent, who I wasn't a bishie yet... so not beautiful people... yet...
So sorry for my strange way in disclosing this but my past strangle me each time I talk about it... trauma I suppose... I won't wanna experience what I had in that past so I speak that way to stay with my present self ... and I as well won't wanna let others experience my past especially the next generations... natural next generations... that's why I have to turn this world to be thoroughly a lookism world, filter away the recessive and repulsive features of human races by the flow of time, only beautiful people will prolong and propagate their progenies... for the way it should be...
No one can be the meanest one to tell about this truth, I will be the one who will be, even that I got all the hates, the hatred, it doesn't matter as along as this world become all of beauty in the end... One alone can't make much difference though but it doesn't mean that I'll do nothing...
I experience not even a bit adversity, but bit by bit adversities, at that time, I endured, bear with it... similar to before butterfly become butterfly... chrysalis of the cocoon... I become a bishie now for my will of beauty to live in my world of lookism after all as I once ain't... I'm what I'm now for all I been through for my painful and pathetic past... which all that times I was supported and saved by Yu-Gi-Oh!

Etoile エトワール



Tangible to the theme of this month which being beauty, we have here, the "Etoile" series are most beautiful female monsters with proper proportion of face and figure.
"Etoile" series are actually the Cyber Girl monsters that focused on various athletic female monsters and based upon female dancing sports. So, whenever "Etoile" is mentioned, it will on the subject to Cyber Girl series.
Etoile is the French word for star which for "Etoile" series, it's be derived from danseuse etoile, a French phrase meaning prima ballerina.
Several cards of "Etoile" series are based on musical theme, such as "Allegro Toile" is inspired of Allegro, a musical tempo meaning quick and lively at around a speed of 170 on a metronome. Although most are based on dances particularly, "Doble Passe" which is based on the ballet step, Passe Doble.
The name changes are to correlate to the motif of this series, it's way more corrective than "Cyber" which pertaining to the culture of computers, information technology, and virtual reality, and more or less, advance machine technology. Corresponding to this name change, they are all Light-Attribute due to "Etoile" are literally stars which are luminous.
Other than the names, the card arts for some "Etoile" monsters are changed too, which maybe more strange for some although it's meant to be more of the standard beauty that is pertinent to people.

"Etoile" monsters are mostly artists who perform dance, or acrobatic athletes, entertainers who performs gymnastic, all portrayed to pursue the role of a prima.
The main motif of "Etoile" series are dance especially the ballet dance which associate to the acrobatics, and many dancing sport such as figure skating.
For "Etoile" series, description of dance are as defined, are series of movements that match the speed and rhythm of a piece of music. Dance are to move rhythmically to music, typically following a set sequence of steps. Dance particularly ballet which portrayed the most in "Etoile" series, also figure skate are featured in "Etoile" series.
Here're more or less about the main motif of "Etoile" monsters.
Ballet is a type of performance dance, that originated in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century, and which was further developed in France and Russia as a concert dance form. It is primarily performed with the accompaniment of classical music. Ballet dance works are choreographed and performed by trained artists, include mime and acting, and are set to music usually orchestral but occasionally vocal. It is best known in the form of late Romantic ballet or Ballet Blanc, which preoccupies itself with the female dancer to the exclusion of almost all else, focusing on pointe work, flowing, precise acrobatic movements, and often presenting the dancers in the conventional short white French tutu.
Other than the main motif, figure skating and gymnastic are the inspiration of "Etoile" series. Which all these associate with the ballet in that they are all more or less involve dance and with common complementary of costumes. Either ballet, figure skating or gymnastic, the practitioners often wear skin-tight garments, tight fitting, flexible pants and leggings. They may also wear a skirt with tights or a dress. The typical uniform for skate dancing takes more of a ballet approach including a skin-tight garment with a skirt and tights.

Okay, design description of "Etoile" series. The similar feature of "Etoile" monsters, that goes without saying that they are all females, which can be sured by their have an overtly feminine appearance and female secondary sex characteristics. Although there is one which is actually overtly muscular and masculine, moreover the dark tanned skin which make her more manly than ever. Anyway, it's toned down here, as an "Etoile" monster.
Other distinctive design of "Etoile" monsters is that all "Etoile" monsters are dressing in unitard which match the motif. The unitard are edited and meant to be textile that are partially pellucid which make it permissible and perceptible that the fair skin tone and fine skin texture of these beauties.
It's indicatively propounding for prurient imaginative and impression which is often for unitard.
For those who inquirious about unitard, a unitard is a skin-tight one-piece garment with long legs and sometimes long sleeves. Unitards are worn by acrobats, gymnasts, dancers, equestrian vaulters and circus performers as well as others who require overall body coverage without impeded flexibility. They come in a variety of different colors. Superheroes in comics and films are generally depicted wearing unitards as well, this make it suitable that "Etoile" is the series for user who are couple of the "Hero" series. Not to mentioned that, many of "Etoile" monsters are wearing disguise for the face which visors, masquerades, masks or cosmetic eyebands which are also distinctive designs for supeheroes. The masquerade mask which likely to the domino mask. Masquerade mask are also design of our "Star" superhero monster, "Different Dimension ESPer Star Robin".
Other distinctive design, other than the unitard, on the unitards of all "Etoile" monsters, it can be seen the half skirts at the sides of the hip with exception of "Etoile Tutu" which has tutu skirt. "Etoile Tutu", the cutie who is based after tutu. Tutu is a skirt worn as a costume in a ballet performance, often with attached bodice. It might be single layer, hanging down, or multiple layers starched and jutting out. Strapping along with ribbons, "Etoile Tutu" wears a pair of lightweight ballet shoes. Particularly, it may be a pair of pointe shoes which are usually pink shoes worn by ballet dancers when performing pointework. Pointe shoes is developed from the desire for dancers to appear weightless and sylph-like and have evolved to enable dancers to dance on the tips of their toes for extended periods of time.
"Etoile" monsters wear different and distinctive accessories such as "Etoile Ballerina" who has eyeband that cover one of her eyes and looping laces of rhythmic ribbon that fastened around her forearm.
"Etoile Blader" has visor which conceal both of her eyes, she wears a pair of figure skates, the jagged blades mounted under her feet, this features is inherited from one of her Fusion Material monster, "Etoile Skater" which also wear blades under her feet but slightly different design.
"Etoile Skater" wields the blades with similar designs but of larger size underneath her forearms.
Then, it comes to "Etoile Prima" which is the purpose of all "Etoile" monster which only portrayed by "Cyber Tutu" indicated by the effect of "Light of Prima". "Etoile Prima" is with gorgeous and graceful style, pertinent to her status as prima, garish masquerade mask and golden circular band that encircle her body on the hip, the arms and wrists. She is with garish boots which in the same style as and what over her decolletage and her masquerade mask, which is likely to pertaining to peacock. By the way, "Etoile Prima" is sort of similar to "Different Dimension ESPer Star Robin" for the appearance, especially the masquerade mask. It can be said that "Etoile Prima" is likely to a peacock whereas "Star Robin" is likely to a sparrow.
Lastly, "Etoile Gymnast" who wear a white mask which the eye sockets without pupil and she wears over her shoulders, two bronze rings with four total thrusts, this design is resemblance and reference to the red protuberants on "Etoile Blader" which also protruding from her shoulder.




I was thinking of "Effect Veiler" can be tagged along with this series especially when the card art also feature full figure of her appearance. It's also because of how she dresses, "Effect Veiler" wears a pairs of black leggings and ballet slippers for shoes. Maybe I'll add her into this series later.
Corroborating about "Effect Veiler", I said before, she is confirmed to be a female as it featured in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5, in particular booster where only feature female monsters.
After all, it's incredulous to me and many others that "Effect Veiler" is a female for her card art.
In the card art of "Effect Veiler", for the illustration, "Effect Veiler" is androgynous for its face, not feminine, if you see it feminine for the face... you fail...
While it's ideal to transcend the boundary of the gender or sexual orientation for boys, where boys are looking good to look like girls or genderless which we call androgynous appearance. It ain't the same case for girls, an ideal girl must be with fine and fair feminine features that immediately identify her as a girl.
The case like "Effect Veiler" which people misconstrued her as him is because there are people, the illustrator in particular, who has no idea of what're feminine features, what make a girl a girl. It's unbecoming that "Effect Veiler" which are meant to be a prettygirl or bishojo to look boyish in the card art.
Is "Effect Veiler" by the card art, even cute as a girl? Nope, she ain't cute or pretty as a girl but she is cute and pretty in boyish way.
What make girls cutest and most charming is when they are at pubescence peak of feminine features for face and figure while preserving their innocence and youth particularly their pleasantly fair soft and smooth skins.
It's cheeky that there are boys who look more feminine than female, and more beautiful.
Being a bishie, it's common of the course for me to experience case of being misconstrued as a girl. The often factor for this is my innocent appearance, other than that it's my fair and fine feminine facial features.
Okay, it's narcisistic times again...
Being compare with common girls for being more feminine than them, mostly due to fair and fine my skin tone and skin texture, also facial features of double eyelid almond shape eyes chiseled by plentiful eyelashes, slender straight nose, red puffy petite lips which many see as sexy, high cheekbones with oblong faceshape due to slight chubby cheek.
My feminine apperance caused that there are those ladies who wish me to be a girl and coerced me to make up or cross dress, of course, similar to what I said, I don't like to use many female cards because that's sissy... so it's no way that I would be subject of such gibberish girliness.
As I said, I'm dominant and demanding as a guy for the fact I'm a guy, my cards in my Main Deck must be more than half to be male, and my signature card will surely be a male, so as significant card. But if can, all my Decks must at least have 1 female card as support card, ummm... supportive cards, cheerleading...
After all, not that I can say much about being man, my only masculinity and manliness is only the way I think and talk.. write here. By the way, I don't talk about beauty in real life... to tell the truth, I don't even talk at all in real life... In the past, I can be all quiet for weeks... not that anyone will care anyway, but now if I'm quiet for hours, those acquaintances around will concern about me and come to me, at times, some strangers... this is what meant by lookism...

In order to make people understand more about standard feminine features of beauty, today's topic is particularly pertaining to it.
Almost all type of standard feminine beauty and one obvious opposite of feminine beauty can also be found in "Etoile" series. The card designs of "Etoile" series are convenient to disclose and describe about what are the ideal feminine features of beauty and more or less what ain't.
Most people aware that beauty is subjective and what one person sees as beautiful, another person may not. For instance, in Japan, many people especially the male prefer more of the girl with cute feminine features than those who girls are with elegant feminine feature, which they see as more prettier although the fact that latter with elegant feminine feature are actually more attractive.
Although beauty is subjective which more or less same for feminine features, there are still standard that serve as the margin to make out about appropriate feminine features.
In Western cultures, the ideal of feminine appearance has traditionally included long, flowing hair, light skin, a narrow waist, and little or no body hair or facial hair. These are indeed the ideal of feminine appearance.
Here are summore standard and specific feminine facial features of beauty. Before that, these two words, standard and ideal, will appear a lot so in case those who confuse, standard is what it should be whereas ideal is what it's to be perfect.
Girls who are meant to be cute which is also perceived as pretty must have such feminine features, facial features of big round gorgeous double eyelid eyes, petty pointy nose, petite puffy pink lip and rather round head with the love heart faceshape, it ain't necessery but a bit chubby cheek make them more cute. Most of all, they must have very light tint of all traits, particularly with pink, pleasantly fair skin tone. These characteristic indeed are of innocence and beauty. That's the perfect cute characteristics, average feminine cuteness doesn't have to with all these characteristic, it's standard but not sheer that girls must be with all these characteristic to look cute. Those girls with such characteristic are often what we called prettygirls or bishojo in anime and manga especially those with males target audiences. An example among the "Etoile" series is "Etoile Tutu" who successfully attract many male audiences. Or among Yu-Gi-Oh! characters are all the female protagonist, Anzu Mazaki, Asuka Tenjoin, Aki Izayoi, Kotori Mizuki also Anna Kozuki and most of the female casts in Yu-Gi-Oh!
Girls who are meant to be beautiful, different from cute must have the following feminine features, facial features of eyes that usually large but less than the cute one, almond shape gorgeous eyes with garish eyelashes, straight slender nose, red sexy puffy lip, and oval faceshape with sharp and smooth chin. These characteristic are of elegance and beauty which is actually the ideal feminine facial features. Those girls with such characteristics are usually prettygirls or bishojo which appear in the anime and manga that meant for female audiences which found along with bishonen aesthetic. While it often appear in other anime as facial features for more mature female characters. An example among the above is "Etoile Ballerina" who is the most beautiful along with "Etoile Prima" of all "Etoile" series. Mai Kujaku is the one of the few of this type of beauty among the Yu-Gi-Oh! characters.
All girls that are meant to be standard feminine beauty must have fair skin tone and fine skin texture which is clean and clear corresponding to female cleanlier characteristics and because light tint is a standard feminine features as pink color is a feminine color because it's soft and smooth lighter color.
Further to standard feminine figure features of beauty. Female body shape or figure is the cumulative product of a woman's skeletal structure and the quantity and distribution of muscle and fat on the body. There are, and have been, wide differences on what should be considered an ideal or preferred body shape, both for attractiveness and for health reasons. These have varied among cultures simultaneously.
Nevertheless, standard feminine figure is typically narrower at the waist than at the bust and hip.
The hip and bust are almost of equal size with a narrow waist. Body fat distribution tends to be around both the upper body and lower body. And with longer limbs especially long legs in proper proportion which are perceived as part of ideal feminine figure, if not, at least slender limbs in slim body which is the standard feminine figure of beauty.
Actually, figure similar to the standard feminine figure with exception of the bust, can be found in prettyboys or bishonen. Such figure which what people see as scrawny. What make a female figure to be feminine figure are the bosoms. Bosoms are breasts, either of two soft fleshy milk-secreting glandular organs on the chest of a woman.
An ideal feminine figure of a female perennially focus on bigger bosoms in proper proportions making up wide bust in average wide torso width, waist which are way narrower naturally to the torso and especially the hip in curvy contour, the hips which must be more or less alike to the width of the torso. The bust, waist, and hips are called inflection points, and the ratios of their circumferences define these basic shapes. Ideal feminine figure of beauty can be seen in the illustration of "Voile Blanc".
"Etoile" monsters above, for instances, "Etoile Prima", "Etoile Blader" "Etoile Ballerina" and "Etoile Skater" are all with ideal feminine figure. Because of being around pubescence, "Etoile Tutu" has her body shape being pertinent only to standard feminine figure.
While "Etoile Skater" fails for standard feminine feature because of being bald, she is still a lot like a female because bald is likely to what considered as little or no body hair or facial hair which is true compared to male after pubescence but it's
The most ideal feminine hair distribution is the top of the head which is the only proper place to be with plentiful hairs, then eyebrow and eyelashes ain't meant to be plenty for femininity but prominent, then without any hairs at all after the eyes, this is ideal feminine hair distribution.
Particularly for eyebrow, thinner and curve contour are more feminine, whereas for eyelashes, long eyelashes are considered a sign of femininity in many cultures, as long eyelashes that curled out from the rim of the eye creating a doe-like illusion of larger, more open eyes.
"Etoile Gymnast" fails the standard feminine figure features, while the original card fall out from the standard feminine facial features due to her skin tone and texture being dark and rough despite the face is concealed with mask but it's unlikely that the face ain't with the recurring tint as the body.
The figure of "Etoile Gymnast" is with bulging muscles, which is masculine, in fact, the original illustration for this original card are even more masculine and manly due to her brown and brawn features.
Bulging muscles and dark skin tone, which these masculinities are sure properly associated with each other as was in this card.
It's edited that "Etoile Gymnast" to be fairer as in the card art, to be more feminine although it ain't with soft and smooth skin, very alike to those who tanned will never recover the soft and smooth skin without a lot of skin care supplementary.
Due to the original card being blonde and dark skin tone, it can only be speculated that she is tanned. Anyway, due to white mask which make her like white wannabe, white mask is because she cannot have such fair face, it's possible that she dyed her hair blond but cannot bleach her skin white successfully thus substituted by the white mask. Dark skin is easy attainable which can be archieved by natural but fair skin ain't, it's born to be, I have seen those people who went for whitening injection but stay the same, dark even with over ten dose of administration, moreover that they stay indoor all the time. Nothing is fair but fair skin, I ain't saying this because I'm with fair skin or more to be pale skin for the fact I was dead before for unfairness in the past, it's because the fact nothing is fair but fair skin that's, the truth.
All I wanna to say is that Caucasians who most born with fair skin should appreciate themselves, their fair skin. And nope, no one wanna be like Caucasians, not sure for others but not oriental Asians, don't get the wrong idea which many does, it's only that Caucasians have the traits which identical to the ideal of oriental Asians.
Moreover, tanned is a masculine characteristics which as correlated in the original card of "Etoile Gymnast". Being tanned and blonde are what Westerner view as beauty, which this card more or less are to convey that how masculine of tanned skin. Those who view tanned skin, dark skin as beauty is acceptable if only for man although it ain't, tanned skin is masculine opposing to fair skin which is feminine. It's sheer folly that there are people find tanned skin as feminine beauty especially when it's even by females themselves.
Beauty who are feminine must have very light skin tone to the state of snow white. This one is understood by the earlier occidental people as they have the fairy tale of a fair princess, snow white.
