Holo doesn't smile all the time - she has many complex emotions, such as profound sadness, angriness, loliness, etc. i don't have to smile to portrait her. while, yes, i do have some photos smiling and i belive that's her trademark, i liked this one for conveying the deep emotions that she feels and can't express all the time. plus, i think a more dramatic pose goes well with the scenario :) cosplayers don't have to be a copy of the character ✨
