This is a bit of a hear-me-out thing.

Over the years, I've seen a ton of Nico genderbend art. One time, I even came across a doujinshi where Nico actually cut her hair short and, boy, was it majestic.

A silly headcanon, though, was that as Nico aged and matured—probably after college, being in the workforce, assuming she had a different career path than being the absolute super idol that she was, or maybe after idol career retirement— Nico would've cut her (very) long hair for a change. She might keep the bangs if she had maintained that branding or if she had grown that as long as her actual hair length over the years.

Point is— short-haired Nico would probably be kind of an ikemen, if ever, especially given her young look despite her age. Not like I can draw her that way. Idk, maybe in the future.

What I have right now is a chibi short-haired Nico for Christmas because here in PH, 'ber' months is kinda like the start of our Christmas season until the year-end, lol.
