Pretty please?!

Maika is my first pet, and also the only one I've made ANY sort of progress on in terms of attempting Pet Spotlight. I feel like her TC could use some work? I basically took her Spectrum color and ran with it as far as I could, but I'm running out of ideas... At the moment, I have fewer than 20 items in her TC. Are minimalist TCs a thing or should I make an effort to expand it? If I should expand it, suggestions for items to put in it? I don't currently have the means to fund expensive TC items, but I'd still appreciate some suggestions. :)

I would also like to hear thoughts on TCs in general, like how big you think is appropriate and why, and what sorts of items fit the bill for what reasons, or just any thoughts or opinions you have on how TCs should work, pleaseandthankyou. <3 (I'm looking for some new ideas. xD)

Maika is such a cutie! Personally I'm super picky about TC elements, I want things that at least somewhat match the story, match the color scheme, and are overall pleasing to look at.

Usually if I end up finding story-wise matching items that have very different color schemes, I try to find enough 'sort of there' fodder to connect them and expand until nothing feels out of place. Because working on TCs is one of my favorite parts of pet-building, I tend to favor the larger chests. Minimalist TCs can work incredibly well too if they are well-balanced though, but personally I'm too much of a collector to keep to simplicity. ´--`

If you want to add more items to Maika's TC, here's some stuff that could work c:

Thank you so much! I hadn't thought of using sky, rain, or sun themed items in her TC! That's brilliant! I have quite a few of the items you mentioned here already (like the Rainyday Solar Flare pieces!) which I rarely wear, so I'll definitely be pulling those from my wardrobe to put in her TC. :D I also love the idea of using rainy weather gear and clouds. I can't believe I never thought of that myself. xD Your ideas and suggestions are tremendously helpful and appreciated! Thank you very much! :D
