A Mermaid with longer, softer lines, softer coloring, and more minimalistic styling. The Lamia have a special gift in their ability to transform grief.
Welcome the Siren
She's subtly sexy and a phenomenal musician and/or singer. Sure, her music crashes some ships, but it depends on the Siren whether it was intentional or not.
Ballet Influenced Style Challenge for the 9 Fantastical Beauty Types
Now that you're warmed up with the black dress challenge, I offer for you the Ballet Street Style challenge. To make it harder, I'm overriding the color guidelines in favor of pinks and greys and sticking with skirts and tops/bodysuits. To flesh each of these looks out into wearable fantasy, re-imagine them in their appropriate color schemes for your coloring, preference pull-on boots and ballet flat styles as best your type allows, and look for wrap sweaters in the fabrics, lines, and colors for your type.
To up the excitement, whoever comments with the correct answers first, wins one of the existing guides of their choice. You may only comment one set of guesses. Check back in the comments to see if you are the winner, so you can email me your guide prize choice.

Welcome the Garden Fairies
Welcome the Garden Fairies. They're colorful (relative to personal coloring, shown in brights below but with soft options in the guide) and look put-together. They're friendly, vivacious, and healthful. They add punchy use of geometrics, defined florals, and garden motifs. The shoe below is a bit boring (an ankle strap and/or cutouts would improve it), but the color and patent is good.
Welcome the Harpy
For the "anti-Cupcake", for the tough but lush, we have the DP guardians, Harpies! There are palette options for all seasons. For the image below, soft and warm was easiest to find, but could (and should) be done in all other seasons as well.
