Hero suit detailsGreen suit, gloves, knee pads, boots, mask/cowl, and utility details carry hero-suit recognition.
MobilityDeku poses often require crouching and action movement, so pads and boots must stay secure.
Makeup and frecklesFreckles, natural expression, and determined posing help close-up recognition.
