When Xayide enters the Woodlanders' village on horseback lead by her Dark Knights, she wears a chain mail skirt and a moulded black leather bodice embossed with silver and copper. On her head she wears a leather and copper crown decorated with bird claws, some real and some moulded from plastic. On her hands are silver chain mail gloves but one has a single, long, claw like finger. When she points with it, it puts terror into the hearts of the Woodland villagers.

One of Xayide's other costumes has tall, black feathers around the neck.

Amerindian traditional clothing inspired the Woodlanders' costumes but April added fantastical elements to the basic buckskin shirts, pants and skirts. She attached deerskin overskirts and capes dyed blue, red and yellow with coloured fringes. She made headpieces from dyed horsehair and fake hair and decorated them with beads, feathers and seashells. The elder Woodlanders wear large seashell necklaces for added effect.

The Childlike Empress's many costumes are princess-like but also otherworldly. Her riding coat is made from Japanese silk and dyed blue and coral. Rows and rows of iridescent crystal beads top her pale peach dress. She also wears bracelets of crystal from shoulders to wrists.

Cairon, The Childlike Empress's advisor, has a cloak of blue brocade and a velvet pantsuit with a Zebra-print. His head is decorated with an Etruscan-like armour headdress with a Zebra mane at the back.

April says that she researched different historical periods and ethnic motifs. The Minions, for example, who are the Childlike Empress's handmaidens, wear sheer pants and gowns, inspired by India. The Tatterdemalions, who are fugitive Woodlander children, wear headdresses of beads and feathers inspired by Tibet.
