“I had the idea to darken Amalia’s color palette and play on the softer tones of Penance’s,” says Clapton. For Amalia, she chose hues like burgundy, dark brown, green, and blue for her costumes, in order to symbolize her tough exterior and fighter mentality. Dresses and coats in the moody hues became the expected getup for the brooding and daring character. Just because she’s rough around the edges though, doesn’t mean that Amalia’s style is overlooked though. From fighting off attackers in a lavish gown at the opera to riding away from the scene of a crime in a hand-painted corset and skirt, she never sacrifices her fashion. “Though Amalia is quite tough, there’s this idea that she actually really loves her clothes and they are quite feminine, but they are really strong,” Clapton says.
