Thinking abt this one line from NY!Elm of him complaining about the clothes he has to wear and thinking abt it now his regular design makes so much sense.
In his regular outfit, the clothing material is intentionally light and airy so minimalize drag in the air. The puffy sleeves are purely decorational, but in general it rests pretty loosely on the arms for mobility purposes. His pants? Shorts??? they hug the skin the same way for this reason, so his joints aren't being restricted of movement. Same lightweight material. There's really no tactical value in having a singular thigh-high stocking except looking pretty BUT!! his sandals! This is also very important bc of all articles of clothing shoes could EASILY weigh you down. The more material you have on the sole of your shoe (eg. wedges, platforms), the more weight it adds on.
His outfit design is made SPECIFICALLY WITH his fighting expertise in mind. Bats generally have less muscle mass to optimize their flight speed (which is true for the body stature of Elm and Embla), and in Elm's case, of course that would carry over to clothing.
I LOVE when I can see how artists THINK about practical clothing in shit like this. It's fucking brilliant. And that's just touching a baseline of his design! Theres so much more I can talk about but it's SO. COOL. UGH. His design is LITERALLY one of my favorites

I can't function properly so heres a list of elm headcanons:
He's capable of sleeping upside down, but that would also require him to transform at least his legs to be able to hang, right...
(he doesn't need sleep it just passes time)
FANGS :((( EVEN IF THEYRE TINY!!
He takes care of his nails on a regular basis. Probably doesn't see the point in nail polish if the paint is just going to chip off.
I imagine he likes figs. slide a fig cake in front of him and its gonna be the highlight of his week. Mangoes may be suitable too
His hypothetical room at the castle would be pretty barren. He wouldn't care to go in that much and thinks its ridiculous that they gave him a room anyhow.
He is actually curious about humans, but more in a manner of confusion. Why do they argue if it's not going to mean anything in a week's time? Why do they do away with their wealth for meaningless trinkets? Quickly-fleeting impulses that do not have any greater value in years to come.
He's also a hypocrite when he scoffs at how impulsive humans are. But this isn't about him, of course. It's about the humans.
If it's cold, he's leaving. Completely intolerable to it. NY alt touches on this but im talking "no way am i going out there are u kidding me" kind of cold hater.
If someone asked him for directions in the castle, he'd give them the wrong directions just to fw them.
Can be found perched on top of the following: balcony railings, street lamps, monumental Askran statues (illegal), tree limbs, chandeliers, and ceiling beams.
Can also be found at cattle ranches, observing the herds from the fences.
May have tried approaching one at some point but the cow got spooked by his flying.
I definitely have more than that but that's enough for now. I am very hyperfixated on this guy rn.

Lays in the grass, with sun shining, butterflies flying over and birds singing. Hands are on the stomach and eyes feel sleepy
Elm and Ash fire emblem, siblings. Theyre so important to me. The forging bonds where they were so siblings was targeted to me spesifically
