Emotion In Tranquility.
LOOK AT HER.
They truly outdid themselves with this design because oh my it is a sight to see.
Full video of the garment display right here.
And, a neat lil comparison I'd like to point out between both of Sonetto's garments was that on both her buff and ult animation, they've been designed with four-petaled yellow flowers that "spring forth" when casted, in comparison with her Parade Anthem garment, which instead, had been purposefully designed with the Foundation's signature chequered B&W pattern. After all, the forms of arcanum had been another way of reflecting of who Arcanists are, and Sonetto has always been tied back to the Foundation in her own sense of self.
Perhaps setting it in 1.9, this signifies much of the process about steering away from the Foundation's ideals of their perfect 'martyr' as she spends more time with Vertin and her team, choosing to now reflect herself not as the loyal hound ready to bleed and burn for the Foundation's cause but instead as, Sonetto: the young adolescent who recognises that what she feels to be an integral part of herself, identifying with her emotion-driven curiosity for the world, and choosing to further develop an understanding for it. (+throughout the garment trailer most voicelines they picked out were the ones that centralise around the idea of spending time together with Vertin, or displaying an appreciation for Vertin being there.)
And yet there's still a chequered ribbon attached to her collar.
Much like that of her hairband, and even that of her hair ties. Perhaps in the end they're just there to stand that elements of herself within the Foundation are as what she chooses to be part of her own; that she does show gratefulness towards the Foundation for what they've provided for her and thus appreciates them for that, but does not want them to overshadow her own sense of being.
Or perhaps I'm just delusional in my entirety and pouring out what's left in this cranium that I'd think her garment would represent, note I do not have a single droplet of clue what 1.9 would be about so I might have overlooked some key elements that they'd want to showcase in the garment for the event.
Oh well, either way, her brand new outfit's really neat isn't it.

Patch 1.9 Full Event Summary! (Live Updates)
The 1.9 event summary got posted! I ran the patch notes through google translate and combined them with some translations from the official server. If I find anything else major I will update. Skin/Character previews can be found in my previous post, and I'll post some new character kit rundowns later! I will tag every spoiler post with the version number, so add that to your filters if you don't want to see anything about it.
Things You'll Care About
Full translated list is after this section.
Free Six Star for everyone: Semmelweiss, a mineral support that drains ally health to give them buffs based on their missing health.
First banner: Lucy, an intelligence DPS/support that spends Electricity to give their incantations extra effects, such as hitting more targets or buffing ally afflatus damage.
Second banner: Kakania, a plant support/tank/sub-healer that absorbs a portion of damage taken by allies and uses it to enhance her self-healing and damage.
Lorelei is a star afflatus five star support/sub dps. Her incantations haven't been released but her i1 Passive gives a buff depending on the most common card type in your hand, and her i3 passive gives her moxie when critting with her ult (Just Star Things). She is obtained from the new roguelite mode so may be accessible to players starting after 1.9.
Free Sonetto skin for logging in!
New skins for Mesmer Jr., Desert Flannel, Voyager, Regulus, and Jessica.
Thirty combined free pulls just for logging in. I'm sure clear drops will be showered on you elsewhere in the event.
Special banner for a single 6* rate up selector (If you win the 50/50 on this banner you get to choose ANY six star up until 1.6 excluding JNZ! This is a crazy good deal and you can pick up anyone you missed before the next saga of the story)
New main story chapter of course. Chapter Six is called Vereinsamt. Apparently, 1.7 is not a direct continuation of 1.5, but 1.9 will combine the two for a proper ending.
Brand new roguelite mode. The reception to 1.6's attempt was pretty poor, so I think this is a revised version that will be left in the game permanently.
New story events for Lucy and Kakania.
New anecdotes for Eagle and Semmelweiss.
New maps for Three Doors! I enjoyed the Mesmer storyline so I'm interested.
Reruns of all the skins from 1.1 - 1.4. The London wilderness will now be permanently available in the shop.
All of the standard stuff you can find in events. There's a shop, new wilderness, free items all over the place, and puzzle side events. Uttu is going to be there. You know the drill.
Edit 1: They're finally adding a system to let you seamlessly connect water tiles in the wilderness. No more dumb transition tiles!
Edit 2: They're adding new animation upgrades to older skins!?!? Confirmed list so far: Jukebox Bkornblume, Halloween Sotheby, Halloween X, Jukebox Matilda, Summer Pickles, Wild West Tennantt.
