The officer never actually explained what he considers to be appropriate attire for a character, and what isn't. If we take the image being discussed as an example, it wouldn't be entirely appropriate to appear in a city dressed like that, yes. But if you live in the forest, what difference does it make?

For you, the forest is a place where you can walk around however you like, and no one will see you anyway. But they actually live there, in entire cities. And she didn't just pick up the weapon for no reason; it's clearly for combat. And what, should she fight in a swimsuit (because that outfit, out of all the ones I know, most resembles a swimsuit)?
