Traditionally, a female ninja is known as a kunoichi, and were recorded to dress severely different than the regular male ninjas we know. They also had different choices of weaponry (the most popular weapon for female assassins are a single-bullet lipstick -- since no one would be suspicious of a women applying lipstick, she has the freedom to aim it wherever she pleases and shoot). Male ninjas were expected to dress completely from head to toe, however, kunoichis had an advantage to them; and damn right they used that advantage. That advantage was body appeal.
... so I kind of contradicted myself in which it is sex-appeal, but it's not just "LOL BOOBS" or whatever.
... the color discrepancies is a little weird.
I always hate these kinds of answers. For one, this is a magic elf world not actual feudal Japan, and for another so what? Historically speaking women couldn't be knights, so would it be cool if SE made Paladins and Dragoons male only?
It's a really shitty fantasy trope to have a dude look like a full body badass and a girl look like a shitty porn star, and it's really dumb whenever it happens. This makes me almost not want to bother with Ninja if I'm gonna run around in a battle bikini as my 'reward'.
