>>22068820Here's the issue with straight up making Tabitha a "pretty boy" - since they are otherwise complete opposites, making Tabitha conventionally attractive/pretty would mean that Matt would have to be ugly. Anything less would be a false dichotomy (a "pretty intellectual" and a "handsome brute" are not actually opposites). This would have been a perfectly valid design choice.
The art designers, however, decided to avoid the question of attractiveness altogether, and played up the physical vs. intellectual divide instead. Regardless of how attractive he is or isn't anymore, Tabitha's new look is solid from a design pov
