There's two problems with that:
1. Why would they assume that her clothing isn't magical? In a series where almost anything can be used for magic wouldn't the first thing you assume upon seeing someone wearing something as ridiculous as that be that it's magical? and 2. That effect would be completely shattered by the cape, witch's hat, eyepatch, and necklace-thingy she's wearing.

That's kind of ironic. Why would you assume things like "she should just wear normal clothes" if you can also assume that "people would think it's a magical clothing anyway"? Well, just me nitpicking, don't mind it.
Regardless, you are indeed a pretty down to earth person, so how about this? Quote:

First of all why are you putting everything in quotes from powerful=naked?

And all of this is ignoring the fact that if she really was wearing so little clothing entirely to provoke her enemies then there would be no need for it to be so sexualized. Like only covering a tiny portion of her breasts, and the minimal coverage "down there".

Btw, is obvious they did it to appeal by visual means maybe to compensate what the character lacks. |

Her motivations haven't even been revealed yet. Why are you making any claims at all about her being shallow. Perhaps, she has more complicated motivations than any other character we've seen so far? (probably not than Aleister though...) You're making a brash assumption that she's shallow. The only thing I've been able to tell so far is that her personality seems to be a lot more complex than it initially was, and furthermore that her appearance is just supposed to demonstrate how powerful and especially arrogant she is. It was already mentioned beforehand that she looks the way that she does just because she doesn't need to wear clothes. Just because she's a girl, and she's the first super-powerful girl character we've had in this series (on tier with our other big bads) you say that she looks like good "jerk-off material" but in reality she's just another boss character. Her outfit is revealing, does that make it bad? If her personality is interesting, who the heck cares? Her wearing skimpy clothes just means that she's unusual, and therefore more interesting... at least in the Index-verse... so I'm excited rather than skeptical. The illustrator is giving you information about how he designed her... You can either A. disregard the information from the guy who created/designed the character and take your own opinion. Or B. Take the information you're given and integrate into the story. Your choice. I personally feel like it's a waste of time picking A, so I'm just going to trust Haimura on this one.

My excuses dniv, I didn't read your post for obvious reasons.
I never said Othinus was shallow (I don't think she's any deep either though), I just said the reasoning behind increasing the lewd factor in order to make up for something else is wrong. Which translates to "it doesn't matter as long as there's already something". Or in other words : it's not something meant to be used as a substitute but as a bonus. Quote:
