You've already made it clear that you have no inteant to make this show original any more. You have zero original characters, cause there all based on fairy tales, you let the fans make up an outfit for one of them, I'm pretty sure you're taking OC's...

I can't even be mad at it anymore... I'm beyond rage and onto depression now. He held the contest to design Velvet's outfit because

1. Originally, Velvet was only going to appear in two episodes in volume 1 and then completely disappear. However, fans loved her, so they decided to keep her, but they hadn't thought of a battle outfit for her. Or a team, for that matter...

2. Rooster Teeth has a tendency to reach out to the community and let the community get involved in some of the things they do. Monty decided to do that too, so he let the community help with Velvet, especially considering we're the reason Velvet is staying.

As for Ruby and Yang not being similar, eh... Genetics can be a funky thing. Maybe their dad's hair is black, but he carries a recessive gene for blonde hair, while Yang's mother has blonde hair and Ruby's mother has silver eyes. Either the father or Yang's mother could have light purple eyes.

I mean, hell, my mom's hair is black and my dad's hair is blonde. You know what happened? I was born blonde.

Well, technically, my dad's hair used to be blonde, like how his mom's hair used to be blonde. My dad, his mom, and I have this weird thing where we were all born with white hair that turned blonde, then dirty blonde, going into brown... and his mom's hair turned kinda red once before turning black. My hair has some red in it now. It's weird. Like I said, genetics can be a funky thing.
