Soldier boy, what will you make of the stripped bones of your past selves? What meaning have you salvaged from your mangled body? In your closet are legacies of a thousand skeletons, in your wardrobe hangs the capes and sweaters you outgrew against your will. Soldier boy, once underground and then underwater, fathom yourself a life above the surface. Outlive the demon you worshipped, soldier boy, and cut your hair again when this world is reborn.
Hunter hands down have the most outfit changes than any of the characters in toh (while also rivaling amity in the hairstyle changes category). I think that says a lot about the character. Hunter was never given the space to define his reality and his own personhood. Discovering who he is outside of Belos' right hand means bumbling around and wear wacky red bird onesies and cosplays and blue watermelon sweatpants and custom wolf shirts. His fashion taste is not superb and often played for laughs but that's the whole point. He's instinctually trying to speedrun the self-exploration, the switching personas, and the interest-based phases that all teenagers experience. The variety of his clothes reflects his shaky sense of self. Speaking from experience (but also please correct me if I got something wrong factually), trauma disrupts one's ability to integrate various version of oneself in a functional/holistic manner (especially if you have to shift back and forth between different paradigms growing up).
