I assumed that in the context of the comics that her stripes were naturally purple

shout out a fruit stripes callback

I almost didn’t recognise her If it wasn’t for her eyes and hair.
Ryan Parker
She looks so cute though
Silvador
Oh, so that's how Nightshade does it. I always wondered about that. Guess I missed that one.
Marcus Heckinberry
It was Puz who made the final straw break through wasn’t it
Kadath
Lol XD
Ardyn
Gotcha love this ask it’s so fun to see their origins.
Kadath
Yeah, probably takes hours. I imagine they 'bleach' her stripes and then dye the areas they used to be in.
Kadath
She was younger then, so I tried to convey it with shorter hair
Kadath
Pretty much XD
Kadath
'You're disowned!' XD

Di is the OG, so she's always special to me. She does indeed get overshadowed by the others, but they honestly don't work as well without her to bounce off of.
Kadath
Yeah, this is her teen look, so she's smaller overall.
Kadath
There's an Ask page which shows Night getting dyed (akin to a spray tan) but hers is full body. Diamond on the other hand is getting specific patterns made, which must be a pain to do. I guess she gets the stripes 'bleached' first and then dyed to match the previous areas?
Kadath
XD

While drawing her I was like 'gosh she's pretty much a grayscale character' until I filled in the eyes ;3

Though the black and white makes her baby blue eyes stand out more.
Julian Fratzscher
Rest of her also looks smaller.
Silvador
Hence my comment about the dye industry making a mint. The amount of dye that must get produced and sold, what with these people dying large portions of their body... how often? Not to mention a whole business of people focused on specialised application of dyes, for that that want to dye places they can't reach, or can't do the job well, themselves.

She is not the only one. Nightshade is a golden Jackal. Hair stylers there work hard for the money.
Silvador
wait, she dyes them? that must be a chore. suddenly realising that the dye industry must make a killing.
Doomslayer69
She is a rebel for sure
SpinachGlad28
I would love to see her parents reaction to her purple stripes
Simpanzee
As much as I love Nadia, Di is probably the most underrated of your OCs. Would love to see more of her again. And Puzzle too for old time's sake.
SketchyBug
It's a neat detail that her hair is also a little shorter here. Showing off the origins. The description now makes me wonder just how expensive dye jobs are to apply and maintain. Great details!
Xaq
Gotta say, she and Nadia both look pretty good undyed.
Ryo
the fruit strip and that shirt, such a look for her. cant imagine dying the stripes was easy. gotta be time consuming.
Vinny L
“Thanks for the idea, mum!”
Ardyn
Her hair was different too? If I had to guess she used to have a traditional Zebra Mohawk?
