[ART1] Card Game Art Works: Exosisters

The strictly-religious military sisterhood where absolutely nothing else is going on

For more information about the general lore of the Exosisters, you can check our VBEX article.

Exosister Elis
Full art:

Description:

“The leader of Lilium.
The bringer of [natural…] and cheerfulness.
The barrette decorating her hair is a souvenir from when she became buddies with Stella, where they gave each other one as a present, and have been wearing it ever since.”

TL note: There is a missing word in the second line (you can see a white spot between the words). This could be due to a printing error in this copy, or other copies, but the word is indeed missing. The rest of the sentence should be enough to convey that Elis brings happiness to the team.

Height:

“Around 160” (cm)
“Sophia is 155 cm”

Jacket removed:

“Her cape is fastened in the area of her top buttons”

Rosary:

“The stone in the middle is gold and orange. The metal part is 4 wings and a sword”

Memory:

“Every now and then, she remembers something. She keeps looking for answer that never seems to appear.”

Coming back home:

“This could be…after the scenario from Pax? Everyone comes back home together”

Exosister Stella
Full art:

Description:

“She’s in charge of the relief role of the team.
She always has a smile on her face, but in some cases, she can also be a crybaby.
Even without the divine protection, she’s quite strong.”

Rosary:

“The stone in the middle is pink with a little red. The metal part is a combination of wings and a spear.”

Lower body:

“For her lower body, she’s wearing pants made out of jegging fabric. Therefore, they are not translucent at all.”

Illustrator’s comment:

“The request was for ‘sisters + military uniforms’, so the first thing I decided on before coming up with the design was ‘there will be no excessive exposure of skin’. I believe their positions work best in a relationship where ‘Stella earnestly and genuinely supports Elis, who behaves cheerfully yet courageously as the leader.'”

Exosister Irene
Full art:

TL note: Most of the notes for Irene are the same notes that were posted on Twitter. You can find them translated in our previous article. Here are the new ones:

Exosister Sophia
Full art:

“About 140 cm”
“Team symbols”

Boots:

Sophia & Irene #1:

Sophia: “You know, I can just do it myself, right…”
Irene: “Of course, but thank you for letting me do it for you”

Sophia & Irene #2:

Sophia: “No, no”

Illustrator’s comment:

“I designed Irene and Sophia as an odd couple. Irene is tall and has a gentle personality, while Sophia is on the short side, yet she’s a hard worker that energetically accomplishes everything she sets her mind to. Normally, Sophia shows her reliable side through her knowledge for formulating plans, however, since Irene is actually the psychological pillar of these sisters, they are indispensable and irreplaceable for each other.”

Exosister Martha
Full art:

Height:

“175 + 10 cm”

Rosary and Decorations:

Rosary: “The stone in the middle is of a deep crimson color. The metal part is 4 wings and a sword. (The same motif as Elis’, but the design is different)”
Order/Decorations: “4 [orders/decorations] on her left shoulder”

Description:

“Elis’ former buddy.
She always fulfills her missions in a calm and collected way. She takes care of Elis in a gentle way (covering for her in troubled times). She looks [pompous/arrogant], but she’s reliable and kind. She was involved with the deeper parts of the organization. Currently, her whereabouts are unknown.”

“Due to a certain event, her eye and hair color no longer returned to normal.”

Exosister Mikailis
Full art:

Description:

“She leads the charge along Kaspitell in order to destroy the enemy generals.

“Front” and “back” views

Sword:

“When it inflicts a wound, it injects holy water”

“Wings”:

“They have a flickering, indistinguishable shape. Sometimes like flames, sometimes like wings”

Gauntlet:

“She can freely release the holy water from her gauntlets, sometimes as a shield, and sometimes firing it as projectiles to attack her enemies.”

Exosister Kaspitell:
Full art:

Description:

“She leads the charge in Team Lilium.
In order to open a path for her vanguard partner, Mikailis, she charges towards the enemies faster than anyone.
Most of the time, she’s kind and timid, but she might also be the bravest girl in the team.”

Pants:

“She’s not actually wearing tights, but actually pants made out of jeggings fabric. Therefore, they are not translucent at all.”

Dragon tail:

“Close-up of the snake face at the tail’s end”

Asmodeus colors:

Left: “If its sub-color is only black, it will blend with the night sky, and being concerned about that, I added a purple glow. If it’s not necessary, it can be removed.”

Bottom: “The appearance of a [hell/infernal] dragon that Asmodeus rides”

“The day when Elis and Martha became buddies”

TL note: In this book’s notes, the alliance between the pairs of Exosisters uses the English word “buddy”, while the VBEX lore primarily uses 姉妹 (shimai, “sisters”) and even the French “Soeurs” (also “sisters”).
