>>46051355Garde I think was actually supposed to gender neutral looking (50/50 gender ratio), but reception of it was that it was feminine (thus gallade was made as a masculine counterpart in reaction).
My guess is that they were shooting for a look that was between a woman in a medieval gown or a medieval knight in a surcoat (and then cross that a teru teru bozu) thus it's jap name being sirnight like it either IS a sir knight or it is calling to "sir, knight?"
