Weapon[]
Her weapon is now a silver mask with a small golden crown and red gems embedded into it with one horn coming out of the right side, the right eye in the mask glows a bright blue, while the other eye is in a dark and empty black.
Special Effects[]
Sangria's whole outfit glows and shines with gold, while two blue trail-like particles are seen on the right eye of her mask and her right elbow.
Shadow Form[]
Physical[]
The silhouette of the shadow form remains consistent with other designs: broader 'shoulders,' a thin 'waist." Her body disintegrates into mist that wafts to the top and disappears. The mist is a deep, vibrant blue, with flashes of brighter blue scattered throughout to enhance the detail and break up possible monotony.
Outfit[]
The detailed cloak Sangria carries is now wrapped around her shadow. The color scheme remains consistent, with muted, pale gold and dark blue being the main tones, as well as the brighter golden details and red inlaid gems being displayed prominently at her front. The mask (her weapon), which acts as the face of her shadow form, has a different, more prominent facial structure, with sharper cheekbones and a sterner expression.
Special Effects[]
Dots of light trail behind Sangria's mask, crown, and golden details. While in her shadow form, the deep blue mist that makes up Sangria's body slowly wafts off of her, as well as the eyehole in her mask, before disappearing.

The glory of the kingship in the past is about to be recast. The withered bones under the coffin can reveal a trace of the cruelty behind the coronation of glory. The story of the battle for kingship will be witnessed by you!
Crowned with glory, one will succeed and all will die
Thousands of years ago, the Avars, who drove chariots in the arena, were no longer satisfied with humble titles. When he rushed to the throne with his followers, the great Basilissa gave an order, and his ambition to covet the throne was finally crushed under the kingship.
Thousands of years later, the buried kingdom reappeared. Following the guidance of the gurgling water, the people of later generations came to the underground of the palace. The statues sealed by stone chains recorded the solemnity of the past. Ignorant people, they only know how to pick up the gold in front of them, but they don’t know the price of greed.
They have been marked sacrifices from the moment they stepped into the kingdom's coffin, and the great Basilissa will be fully resurrected and once again ascend the throne of kingship through her bones, just as she was a thousand years ago.
In the twenty-eighth season Essence 1 poster released by "Identity V", Opera Singer - Basilissa is opening her arms. Many souls regained the crown and crowned her head. There are still struggling bones piled up at her feet, and the smug smile on her mouth is full of joy for resurrection. Clerk - Marshal is standing faithfully aside, she looks up devoutly at the great Basilissa, witnesses the moment of the coronation of glory, and once again submits to the kingship thousands of years ago. Forward - Avar's Chariot is kneeling at Basilissa's feet with his hands tied behind his back, with a struggling and unyielding expression on his face, expressing his dissatisfaction with the coronation of the crown and the humiliation of being forced to kneel.
Sacrifice greed, recast the fallen kingship
The twenty-eighth season Essence 1 story video tells us the little-known story behind the coronation of glory. Behind the recovery of kingship is the price paid by the greedy and the failure of the usurper.
Opera Singer - Basilissa is a vested interest in this fire sacrifice. She wakes up with the power of her bones and recreates the glory of the kingship thousands of years ago. Wearing a gold crown, earrings and gem accessories, and a gold-plated Chunik, the queen's authority attracts everyone to lift her head up for her, and her every move seems to be manipulating people's hearts; jewels and tassels are staggered around her waist, and the dark black dress tightly wraps her body, whether it is glory or bondage; she has a faint blue light in her eyes in a stealth state, gold ornaments hang on her forehead, and jewels are inlaid on the cloak. The blue mist makes her look sinister and dangerous.
The royal power thousands of years ago is about to be revived, and the sleeping stone statue will wake up here. When the greedy people are sacrificed, the revived Basilissa will lift the crown and be crowned again.

Design Idea Plans
We hoped that the entire essence could be related to the mature and cold temperament of the opera singer, so we drew inspiration from the complicated and gorgeous court costumes of the Byzantine Empire.
In this background story, Basilissa is the queen of the empire sinking under the water. Thousands of years ago, she gave an order to crush the ambitions of the rebels with supreme glory. Thousands of years later, she will Later generations of people mistakenly entered this sunken church, and the resurrected queen woke up from the water. Blue is one of the colors that symbolizes royal status, and it is also the color of the ghost of resurrection. Decorated with Byzantine-style jewelry, Basilissa will once again be crowned with glory.
Design Idea Sketch
According to the background story, the overall shape of Basilissa's first sketch is more in line with expectations. At the same time, the color of the shawl needs to be more bluish, and some gems and tassels need to be more integrated to avoid fragmentation and too dense.
During the refinement process, it was discovered that the character's facial decoration needed to be adjusted to better fit the character's Byzantine style positioning. Some small jewelry and skirt decoration positions also needed to be adjusted to avoid stretching the movements.

The mask exuding blue ripples heralded her arrival, and the crown suspended in the air was waiting to crown her. Basilissa waved the mask in her hand casually, and the gilt decorations on her body shone for her.
Even though Basilissa was leaning on her ghostly palm, she seemed to be sitting in the tall throne. The blue mist was undulating around her, and the ghost was struggling beside her, but she was still noble and elegant.
