Potential color palettes
here,

Uniform:Tiara -- Something
thin and delicate.

Collar --
This, where the ruffle part is the collar (one layer to start out with), plus the sheer chest overlay with all the decorative rhinestones connected to the choker.
Bodice -- Tight, white, maybe some sparkles, but can be a little more plain at first stage.
Chest Bow -- Whatever looks best with the overall outfit.
Brooch -- Something appropriately winter-ish.
Sleeves -- No sleeves.
Gloves -- Gloves aren’t required, are they? ‘Cause I'm thinking no gloves.
Buttbow -- You know I love me some big butt bows, but if it doesn't look good with the outfit, we can try something different.
Bottoms -- Pants. Tight. With lots of ice-y looking sparkles. Maybe sort of illusion-like? Like
here, how it sort of gets more transparent down the legs.
Shoes -- Like
this or
this.

Crystalline clips strewn about his hair.
Attacks: Sailor Scout Attack: StrikeA target of Ymir’s choosing will find themselves struck by a barrage of small pellets of sleet for 30 seconds. These pellets cause a stinging sensation, and can result in thin, paper-cut-like injuries if the player chooses. Any pellets that find their way into the eyes can cause discomfort and temporary impairment.
This attack can be used 3 times.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: StormA storm appears over a single enemy, pelting the target with small pellets of sleet for 20 seconds. The pellets cause a stinging sensation, and at this stage are somewhat sharper and can cause more significant injuries at player discretion (mild lacerations and the like). As the pellets bounce off of the target and fall, the ground beneath their feet becomes slick until the spell ends.
This attack can be used 2 times.
Eternal Sailor Attack: EncaseYmir collects magic into his palms and directs it at a single enemy. Wherever the spell hits on the target’s body becomes encased in a sheet of sleet, which stings upon contact and slowly spreads for a duration of 30 seconds. This spell can deter movement if it spreads over a limb, and can restrict breathing if it spreads over the chest, throat, or face. Once broken, it might leave skin a bit red and irritated from the cold.
This attack can be used 1 time.
Deep Space Senshi: Physical Features: Ymirans look human, but they can withstand cold temperatures better than most people on Earth. They cannot withstand heat and tend to suffer sickness in hotter climates. Tyr’s people also age about five times slower than humans. For example, a 90 year old Ymiran would be comparable to an 18 year old human.
Backstory/History: The moon of Ymir was a world of corruption long before Chaos took hold. Cold, gray, and dreary, a world of cloudy skies, frequent rains, and long winters, Ymir was ruled by a line of Kings that cared more for their own personal glory than the wellbeing of their own people. Many of those Kings were frequently at odds with the Council of Twelve — a ruling body composed of the heads of Ymir’s most prominent noble families that, after centuries of political power plays, gained near equal authority to the King. What could have been a peaceful allyship between the nobility and the monarchy quickly became a series of ugly betrayals that left Ymir with a perpetually unstable government. The Senshi of Ymir was meant to be a stabilizing force, but often found themselves at the mercy of whatever political faction happened to be in power at any given time.
Tyr Stilmyst was born as the son of a wandering merchant and a noblewoman who served on the Council of Twelve. He lived a relatively normal life at Court, focused more on his studies and the latest round of Court gossip, until his awakening as Sailor Ymir at the age of 70 (the equivalent of a 14 year old human). For a time, he had his mother to protect and guide him from the worst of the political maneuverings between the King and Council, but when she died of suspected poisoning soon after a diplomatic mission off world, Tyr found himself at the mercy of those who saw her death as an opportunity to acquire more power and influence. Tyr coped with his change in circumstances by proving himself obedient. He knew his position was precarious, that defiance against the wrong person at the wrong time was just as likely to lead to his own death and rebirth as it was to lead to another lecture on propriety.
After several years as a government puppet, he began to wonder if his death and rebirth might have been preferable.
Then, the fall of the Silver Millenium, and the onset of Chaos. They lost communication with all worlds beyond Ymir. Off world travel became impossible. Fear spread rapidly throughout the population. War erupted among noble families. The King was deposed, and a usurper installed. A rebellion among the common people was mercilessly crushed. Crops withered and died; the harvest grew smaller each year, leading to famine. Plague spread, killing thousands by the day. Tyr himself fell ill, but slowly recovered.
With no discernable source to explain such rapid deterioration, those who lived through the initial stages fell to paranoia. Some blamed the usurper. Some blamed their noble lords and ladies. Some blamed Tyr; a few tried and failed to kill him. In their steep decline, the people thought him wicked. He was Sailor Ymir. If their world plunged into despair, who else carried more responsibility than the Senshi who bore its name?
The usurper King fell ill with no heir to succeed him. The Council of Twelve became the Council of Six as noble families died off one by one. The complete destruction of their world seemed more imminent by the day. What remained of the Council met to decide what should be done about Sailor Ymir. Tyr expected he would be put to death. Instead, the Council, in a rare moment of foresight, voted to place him in a magical stasis. If the Chaos originated with him, they hoped to isolate it and destroy it, then bring him out of stasis to rebuild their world without the uncertainty of waiting for a new senshi to be born.
Alas, Ymir fell long before they understood the Chaos that contaminated it.
Tyr slept for a thousand years.
