Dearest Lyric,

I wanted to draw Israel throughout her many bosses and wanted to confirm the design with you. Here are my ideas for her character--

Period 1-- Judea and Rome -- Israel is a chibi at the time and wears a simple white dress with her star necklace.

Period 2 -- Babylonian exile/death of Judea -- Design is same as Period one.

Period 3 -- Persian empire -- During this time, Ancient Persia ruled over Israel. She begins wearing a white cloth tank top with a wrap-around style red/orange skirt and sandals.

Period 4-- Byzantine (Christians from British Isles/Prussia) Israel maintains a similar style to Period three with an added maroon vest.

Period 5 -- Mameluks (Syrian Muslims) -- Israel has the same outfit as period four.

Period 6 -- Ottoman Empire (Turkey) -- A white long-sleeved shirt with the vest and a red/orange ruffled knee-length skirt and fez. Fezzes were a trend and Turkey at the time. Also, Fezzes are cool ;)

Period 7 -- British Mandate -- Israel is often seen in a light blue petticoat and white tights with blue-buckled flats.

Period 8 -- Modern Tmes -- Israel is seen in her army uniform or her dress outfit. While I do not like the shawl/religious wear, I very much adore the white dress. Quite humble, quite Israel. I dislie the dressing like a Hassidic Jew since many of the Hassidic Jews are the reason Arabs in Hevron and Gaza hate us. They are also very sexist and use religion as an excuse for being complete jerks. Israel can keep the shawl though, because it is quite cute and good for if she gets cold at night.

These are my ideas. Feel free to give me any input you feel like. I was talking about History and Relationships with my parents at the Migdal David Light Show tonight, and discovered... before independence in 1948, Israel had a lot of different bosses.

Wishing you well,

Ella :)
