Courage will also come with the gray vitiligo medium smooth bust in addition to the vitiligo default bust. This character will come with a wig labeled PMS, PS or PMSK. The variances are slight difference in length (and thus may look different from the photos) and the way the wefting is designed on the inside of the wig. We do not provide options to choose. Vitiligo and birthmark girls cost about 20% more than the other girls due to the extra paint job needed for the bust and arm. For each set needed, we usually end up with unusable vinyl parts that are too blurry to use because the vinyl warps so much that the paint masks don't fit - those end up in Chaos. I still keep the vitiligo and birthmark girls at the same price point as the other girls, and gray courage will maintain the same price point as the other gray girls. However, Courage will have the lowest availability out of all the gray girls due to the extra resources needed to make her. --- Because it takes courage to be who you are in a society that wants you to be otherwise.Originating from the Edo period, there is a saying in Japan that goes, "Deru kugi wa utareru" (出る杭は打たれる), meaning "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down." The "nail" refers to folk who "stick out" by choosing to be "different" - and because of this, they should expect to be hammered flat (so that they don't stand out) by those who choose the comfort of conformity.As hunter-gatherers started to live in groups, conforming to social norms was a survival advantage. Being different entailed a risk of being shunned from a group, which could have led to a lower chance of survival.However, in today's society, I beg to argue that being the same as others will decrease your chance of survival."Survival" is not just about staying alive for as long as possible - it's about living your life the way *you* want - and not by society's expectations.It takes courage to be who you are in a society that wants you to be otherwise. But if you choose conformity, then there is a fitting proverb for you by Kenshiro of Fist of the North Star, which goes "Omae wa mou shindeiru" (おまえはもう死んでる), meaning "You're already dead."Stay Courageous.
