Anya’s design in Mouthwashing is built around the mundane reality of long-haul space freight. Instead of sleek sci-fi gear, she wears functional, slightly rumpled shipboard clothing: a heavy blue utility jumpsuit layered over a striped turtleneck, finished with the surprisingly domestic combination of white socks and slide sandals.
Putting this outfit together is mostly an exercise in getting the proportions and colors to sit right against each other. The contrast between the utilitarian outer layer and the colorful base layer does almost all the heavy lifting, so you don’t need complicated fabrication to make the pieces feel authentic to the game’s retro-industrial aesthetic.
The Jumpsuit and Striped Base Layer
The visual anchor of the costume is the pairing of an industrial jumpsuit with the striped knit underneath. A standard boiler suit or utility jumpsuit in medium navy or cobalt blue works best, ideally with a relaxed cut rather than a snug fit. Leaving the front zipper unfastened down to the mid-chest ensures the high collar and horizontal stripes of the inner shirt stay clearly visible.
Beneath the jumpsuit, she wears a fitted knit turtleneck featuring alternating horizontal bands of dusty green and pink. Because the sweater collar stands up relatively high against the neck, a proper turtleneck is preferable to a mock-neck style. Choosing a lightweight cotton or breathable synthetic blend helps prevent overheating once layered under durable twill or canvas.
Nurse Insignia and Uniform Details
As the Tulpar’s sole medical officer, Anya displays a simple red cross emblem on her uniform. Placing a medical cross patch or adhesive decal on the upper left chest of the jumpsuit immediately establishes her role aboard the freighter. Securing the edges with a few hand stitches or fabric adhesive ensures the insignia stays firmly positioned throughout a full day of wear.
Her jumpsuit also has a worn, slightly oversized drape. Folding the ankle and wrist cuffs once or twice captures that utilitarian look, and pushing the sleeves up toward the mid-forearms adds to the impression of someone constantly in the middle of ship maintenance or clinical duties.
Socks and Sandals
Footwear aboard the Tulpar reflects the quiet routine of life inside cramped living modules. Anya skips heavy space boots entirely, wearing simple brown double-strap sandals over thick white knit socks.
Standard two-strap slide sandals with buckle fastenings match her in-game appearance accurately. The knit socks should be crew-length, pulled straight up so the ribbed texture shows cleanly between the straps of the sandal and the rolled cuff of the jumpsuit pant leg.
Shaggy Hair and Grooming
Anya’s hairstyle is a dark, unkempt shag with choppy layers and full bangs resting across her forehead. A short black shag or wolf-cut wig provides the necessary volume and messy silhouette right out of the box.
Working a small amount of matte styling paste into the ends helps define the piecey, separated layers around the face while keeping the crown relatively flat. Her appearance throughout the story carries a heavy sense of fatigue, so pairing the messy cut with minimal makeup—perhaps a soft wash of cool neutral shadow beneath the lower lash line—fits the mood of the character naturally.
