Benderstuck Nepeta Update

Description

Many people have commented on the fact that Benderstuck!Nepeta didn't look much like Nepeta, and I honestly felt the same way too. There were several reasons why I wasn't that pleased with the results:

1. I don't draw Nepeta that often, so I'm not so adept at drawing her in general.
2. Her appearance was changed moreso than several of the other characters by removing her overcoat and her hat. I also put her hair in a ponytail, for variety's sake.
3. We saw little of the Air Nomad culture in A:TLA, so I wasn't given much to work with when it comes to creating four unique outfits for the four airbenders. I drew Nepeta last, so her design was rushed.

However, after thinking it over, I decided to update her outfit by adding a coat. It helps that I remembered that the "Last Airbender" film did give Aang some sort of hooded coat like the one Nepeta is wearing here. I'm not sure if I drew it the same as the film's version; I didn't bother finding a ref and I only saw that cinematic failure once.

Does she look more like Nepeta? Any other suggestions?

She would look better without the ponytail, but it's your choice.
