KOF - Athena Asamiya's Rejected Yukata Outfit

I tweeted to the official SNK PLAYMORE (Playmore Corporation) twitter about putting this outfit I designed for Athena in The King of Fighters XIV, but it sadly did not make the cut.  Playmore instead gave Athena a totally different outfit that has no pigtails or yukata.  Since no other kimono girls are part of the roster, the game will be launched and released with no kimono girls at all (unfortunately).

Since Athena Asamiya has the most number of outfits in KOF history, changing from game to game, I decided to do a costume that differs a lot from the previous outfits.  This time, she wears a red yukata with stars decorated.  Athena mainly had her long hair down the previous games, but 2006 (Maximum Impact 2) had her hair in double buns (1P side) and in a ponytail (2P side).  This time, I gave Athena pigtails, because KOF series doesn't really have that much pigtailed characters.  Her hairband and fingerless gloves remain, and I gave her geta sandals to go with the yukata.  With this outfit, Athena will be the first KOF female to wear a pair of geta (unless you count Ninon Beart from 2006).

I made extra changes once more.  This time, her bangs from KOFXIV gets used, retaining the pigtails.  I made an additional change so her hairband has a bow with a star on the tie.

OUTFIT IS DESIGNED BY GABEDDRWATCHER / NEW GABE ORDER.
