Tales of Berseria and I had a complicated relationship in the beginning. When I first saw pictures of the characters, I was unenthusiastic. But I’ve always loved the design of the exorcists’ clothes, because they’re so gorgeous! And I truly do love this game and wholeheartedly recommend it.

I purchased this costume from FM-Anime. However, it didn’t come with the shoes or leg pieces, so I made those, drafting them from scratch after classic jodhpurs. Many classic military pants also use the jodhpur style, so it gave me a new perspective on the church in Tales of Berseria. The gold designs are iron-on vinyl designs that I patterned and cut out.

I also assembled the hair pieces for Eleanor’s hair. I bought kanzashi-style accessories from this Etsy seller and added the strips of fabric with writing on it. They clip into the wig.

Speaking of the wig, it’s a Chibi wig from Arda Wigs in Salmon. I think this color is perfect for Eleanor, because it’s a pinky-orange color. Because I have a small head, I purchased it in the small cap size, but I think this color has since been discontinued from that style.
