Cosplay Guide for The Ouroboros Cycle

 
Ekaterine Shashavani

Hair: Dark Brown
Eyes: Hazel
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 150 lbs.
Build: Medium
Year of Birth: 1802 (apparent age 26 as of 1887)

Clothing:

At Home:
Among the Shashavani, it is common for both men and women to wear the chokha (though unless they are soldiers, female Shashavani tend to wear skirts rather than trousers beneath them). Some Shashavani women also wear the traditional dresses of their Svan and Georgian neighbors. Both styles are worn by Ekaterine as befits her mood (usually a dress for formal purposes and a skirt and chokha for everday wear).

Abroad:
Outside the lands of the Shashavani, Ekaterine wears the clothes of a local woman, sometimes humble and sometimes well to do depending on her disguise. She briefly attempted to disguise herself as Varanus’s servant when they traveled to Western Europe in 1887, but their evident camaraderie made this an impossible pretense to maintain and shortly thereafter she assumed the identity of Varanus’s sister-in-law. In this capacity she wore the clothes of a wealthy woman. She has a particular fondness for bustle dresses, especially those that are heavily adorned with frills and fussy details (which, like the bustle, she find tremendously amusing). Almost paradoxically, she despises European hats, especially those that are large or heavily adorned.
