Parable's formalwear

Description

I made a tattoo and scar map of her as well, in a similar style, but liked it less thus it ended up in my scraps.

Parable's culture places a lot of importance on body art. You can read a lot about a person from their tattoos, which are made of a material called pure essence and glow in the dark. Pure essence is also warm to the touch and keeps one from hypothermia in colder tunnels. Nudity taboo is virtually non-existant, with clothing used only for decoration or practical purposes. Breasts aren't sexualized so she doesn't bother covering them up.

Her formalwear - which she dons during events such as religious celebrations, funeral feasts and bonding ceremonies, employs a variety of materials. There's fur tufts from a local kind of glow-in-the-dark animal, a loincloth and leg-decorations of dyed fabric with simple geometrical patterns, decorative metal discs, bits of string weaved from the silk of cavespiders, bits of carapace of a local kind of giant silverfish. Necklace and bracelets are made of trophies and memorabilia. Stuff like teeth and claws of creatures she's slain (including two 10cm long spiderfangs) as well as bone beads and vertebrae of her dead ancestors.
Her culture habitually uses bones of the dead for tools and decorations, it's merely seen as a way to give back to the community after you've passed on.
