Alicia Clause aka Bullet Witch unleashed her considerable powers upon the gaming world on February 27, 2007 in the US. Though her outfits are some of most beautiful we’ve seen on a game character, the developers at Cavia Inc, failed to cast a spell on gamers worldwide. This was until she went topless in an issue of Playboy. And we all know anybody who’s anybody is in Playboy -insert eye rolling here-.
Why is Alicia an icon? Any woman who can wear Goth and make it look not only functional, but chic, is truly an icon. While most game characters clothing is more along the lines of a prepubescent male fantasy, Alicia’s Bullet Witch wear is loose and flowing where it needs to be, and fashion forward at the same time. Don’t think so? Check the runways this year in the real world and you’ll notice boots , lacy, leather things , with ornate tights all of which echo the trend Alicia started more than two years ago. Sometimes it just takes a witch.
