The checkered pattern on Eve\u2019s chest was replaced by the white and green tones of her Planet Diving (7<sup>th<\/sup>) Nano suit. The cape-like extensions bearing the \u201cEve 107\u201d label have also been removed in favor of green opaque extensions that drape over her shoulders. Even the gloves, which were originally smaller and featured a fishnet design, were redesigned to be larger and simpler. The final design of Eve\u2019s hair was made easier for the character to manage, and is held in a modest ponytail rather than Kim\u2019s original design which has multiple braids and hair accessories. Apart from these minor changes, Eve\u2019s core design philosophy seems to have been untouched.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kim\u2019s original design concept for Eve has invited comparisons to his past designs for the Magna Cartha series, as well as \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ShiftUpWorld\/status\/1832186328064180374\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">many requests for a Stellar Blade artbook<\/a> &#8211; physical or otherwise.
