The look
Real Maelle is the major Act III design associated with Maelle/Alicia Dessendre in the real world. The wardrobe documentation identifies Real Maelle as an Act III outfit and notes that it is worn by Maelle/Alicia in the real world before being brought into Verso's Canvas. This is sufficiently different from her Expedition uniform to count as a separate major cosplay build.
Base costume
- 01Modern civilian top — Much less period-expedition oriented than her standard costume.
- 02Dark civilian lower garment — Modern silhouette.
- 03Contemporary footwear — Simpler than the expedition boots.
- 04Modern accessories — Keep them understated.
- 05Real-world civilian styling — Avoid adding fantasy armor or expedition equipment.

- Natural makeup.
- Youthful appearance.
Props

What makes the cosplay read as Maelle
The combination of Maelle's recognizable blonde hair and facial appearance with her modern civilian wardrobe distinguishes this design from her Belle Époque expedition appearance.
