Early Wes Model

This striking prototype of protagonist Wes showcases a dramatically different look:

Stark white spiky hair
Piercing red eyes with sharp angular features.

This is in contrast to his final design with softer lavender-blond hair, and brown-goldish eyes. This lost unused model appeared briefly in the Japanese version's Story Mode menu (alongside Umbreon) and promotional materials before being replaced late in development.
