DanMachi is a fan service show with a storyline better than it really deserves to be. I fell immediately for Ryu when she first appeared as a barmaid and knew I had to make her leafy battle attire. I really wanted a leaf cape. I made a first version as one of my earliest spandex projects and upgraded the shirt, cape clasp, and hood later, adding her weapons made of decoupage. I am frequently mistaken as Link or Linkle in this outfit.

Many photos were taken by friends during a park trip. None of them have social media handles, nor do I remember which friend took what.
