The Empress: She wears an intricately layered traditional garment (hanbok) featuring rich teal, red, and gold tones, adorned with embroidered dragons and floral motifs. Her look is completed by an elaborate, towering golden crown and elegant traditional jewelry.
The Throne & Wings: Seated upon a carved wooden throne, she is framed by massive, dark-feathered wings that extend outward, lending her a divine or supernatural quality.
