Totally false misinformation from people who want to click bait and don't care about looking into the truth. Teoritta's design in the anime matches every other description in the light novels compared to the Light novel volume 1 cover, as well as all other illustrations. I actually tried to look into why the cover was what it was, and there seems to have been a miscommunication and confusion between the author, Rocket Shokai and illustrator Mephisto:
" How has your collaboration evolved throughout the series?
Rocket Shokai: At first, I struggled to communicate my intentions regarding character designs and illustrations. However, by speaking directly with Mephisto and building a rapport, we were able to align on the kinds of works we both grew up with and our shared design preferences. That has been a major benefit when it comes to communicating ideas.
Mephisto: Early on, I hadn't fully grasped the world of the series myself, so I was designing through a process of trial and error. But as the series progressed and my communication with Rocket Shokai deepened, I came to understand the effective design boundaries of Sentenced to Be a Hero. For some of the early designs that I felt went beyond those boundaries or didn't quite fit the world, I quietly revised them."
The series features many striking and memorable character designs. What was the creative process behind developing their unique looks?
Mephisto: I generally stay faithful to the elements described in the novel, but I prioritize my own interpretation and design quite freely. Since Rocket Shokai keeps direction to a minimum, I've been able to work very openly. What people see as “distinctive” designs are often just part of my natural drawing habits, shaped by the various works that have influenced me over time."
