OK SO HERE'S THE RUB.
I think that as it currently is, the base uniform for hope's peak looks boring as shit to me. like. yes. it is very customizable and versatile and when they DO stuff with it then it usually looks great. BUT for such a prestigious school I think there could be just a tiny bit more flare to it.
So before making any design I made some changes to the hope's peak emblem itself. The design is fine on its own, but I thought it could add to it if i gave it a couple of colour variants, so this is what I came up with!
Each variation belongs to a specific group, with the coloured versions belonging to the student groups. For the sake of this were just gonna focus on the student emblems so like. ignore the other 2.
Here are the uniforms themself!
I wanted to give a BUNCH of options that range from totally normal to. fashion crime territory if you arent careful. The solid orange options are by far the least popular ones, and the reserve course is really just hung out to dry, unless you want orange pants with a black blazer.
I imagine that there are so many pieces because not only can hope's peak afford it, but they have had this consistent issue for years where the one thing they just cannot keep straight is a dress code. So as a result, they allow students to mix and match all they want, so long as they're wearing the emblem to SOME extent.
try as they might, they can't enforce the school colours as much as theyd like to.

Background:
As is usual for the majority of vetureyík’shen, Deeva has never left Veturea before attending NRC. Since her father disappeared when she was 2 years old, Deeva was raised by her mother, although she also had to keep an eye on her due to her delicate health. After her mother’s death, Eir, a neighbour and one of the family’s close friends, has been taking care of her.
Trivia:
-Deeva belongs to an original species, called vetureyík (or vetureyík’shen, in plural). They are basically winged creatures with little pointy ears and shorter than humans. Although people nowadays think they are only a legend, actually there are roughly 90 of them in total, and not all of them can do magic. In fact, there are so few magicians among the vetureyík’shen, that Deeva is the first one to attend NRC in almost 50 years. There used to be more of them, but their population was reduced due to a conflict with the humans. Since then, they made sure no human could ever get to them, by completely enchanting a forest that surrounds the mountain where Veturea is located. More about them here.
-The vetureyík’shen can’t use their wings in flying class, since that would give them a great advantage over the rest of the students.
-After many attempts, Azul and the twins convinced her to play the violin at Mostro Lounge. Fortunately for her, they haven’t heard her singing.
-Besides violin, she also plays tagelharpa and a little bit of cello.
-Vetureyík’shen who are born with powers are prone to develop a certain type of magic, which consumes very little of their magical energy. In Deeva’s case is water magic. She can manipulate water at will, change its state or even create it out of nowhere. In contrast to Kalim’s Oasis Maker, the water she summons is not potable. The magic traces mixed with the water could produce an excess of magic in someone’s body, which eventually could damage their health.
-During her first year at NRC she used to wear gloves to avoid any accidents with one of her water spells that she couldn’t control that well. Now she has learned to control it but still wears them out of habit and for aesthetic reasons.
-Even when wearing gloves, her hands are almost always cold.
-She’s bad at taking hints.
-She has a slight accent due to the language spoken in Veturea.
-She makes no sound when she’s walking, something that usually ends up with someone almost having a heart attack when they see her standing next to them. It doesn’t help at all the fact that she can also turn her body into water and reappear in another place. At least that way they can hear her a bit more, though maybe it’s kinda unsettling hearing water running behind you for no reason.
-Deeva doesn’t know how to style her hair, the only things she can do decently are ponytails and braids. Because of this, she usually wears her hair down.
-She used to wear symmetrical earrings until her first year in NRC, when a student casted the wrong spell in one of her classes and completely disintegrated her right earring.
-Spends the winter holidays at NRC.
-Her mother used to have nightmares, so she used to sing her songs to calm her down. Since her death, Deeva has avoided singing in front of anyone, but recently she’s been trying to change that. So, if you’re really lucky, you can get her to hum something for you.
-Her father was a luthier and, alongside her mother, had an instrument store next to their house. After his disappearance, she continued to make instruments, but for obvious reasons the store eventually closed before Deeva went to NRC.
-Since Deeva’s mother liked to grow plants, there was a room in their house that served as a greenhouse. Currently the room is almost empty as Deeva took all the plants she could to NRC. She enchanted her suitcase with a spell to increase its capacity and put them all inside. She couldn’t let those plants that her mother had cared for so lovingly die. Because of this, her room at NRC is full of potted plants.
-She’s a terrible cook. Please don’t leave her alone in a kitchen.
-Used to be part of the gardening club in her first year. She then changed to the pop music club because, according to her, she wanted to try something new; besides, music has always been her thing.
-She’s usually indifferent to insects, but if there’s something that repulses her, that’d be spiders and cockroaches.
-Due to her albinism, she prefers to be in dimmer places where the light doesn’t bother her eyes.
-Since Deeva doesn’t have many opportunities to train her wings during the day, she has permission from the headmaster to use the sports field to fly at night so that she doesn’t disturb anyone.
