You can see this technique used similarly to plot the catharsis of the character Ellie in Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us ( UK ). She is initially dressed in graphic tees and tanktops to reflect her age and innocence but as she becomes a much stronger and more independent character she dons a BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) jacket. Think about that. She literally begins to wear “battle dress” as she becomes a playable character. Finally, in the game’s closing scene she has left behind her youth and now wears plaid in imitation of her companion and mentor Joel.
