When Reia became host of Lost & Found: Pocket Dimension at 19, the studio made her a new coat, pants, and shirt. This was not exactly standard. Usually they would just make an iconic outer layer for the host and expect them to obtain their own matching under layers. However, she had absolutely nothing suitable to wear in a professional environment. That was, of course, part of taking on a street urchin as a TV host. At the time, the studio still had enough money to buy fabric to make solid garments. This was a type of luxury most civilians couldn’t afford, and one Reia had never known. However even the studio could not afford to make new clothes every time Reia ripped hers, especially the way she dashed and slashed through pocket dimensions, so after three years the coat was thoroughly patched.
Her name was hand-stitched on the pocket by a crew member.
Her earrings were made with rare, round, red stones. Production let her pick from their collection of red jewelry and she easily picked the most expensive one.
Her red birthmarks were emphasized by red shadow and gold and red lines, making her look fierce.
Her shoes and dagger were hand-painted by a crew member to match her makeup.
The one thing production did not provide was the crochet scarf she usually wore tied around her waist as a belt. Her mother had made it, long ago, and Reia wore it always. Production allowed it because it matched and would help keep her warm in cold dimensions.
