But she still looks natural and fits not only the theme of the story but also represents the style of the time she was created in. Dawn, as another example, wears short skirts while living in such a cold region. While it may seem odd and unrealistic to people at first glance, women in Hokkaido also wear skirts in a similar manner.
The protagonists of BW/BW2 look like anime characters that dress like hipsters and are not even close to an accurate representation of the style of 2010/12 New York or America as a whole.
