This fan art featuring Nei was published in
GamePro #65. The outfit appears to be original, but that purple hair and those long ears are unmistakable in a drawing from this time period. It comes from a letter the listed fan decorated when sending correspondence to the magazine. In years past, magazines would often receive many envelopes and letters embellished by fans who wanted to display their talents. The editors would select a few to publish in every issue. In this particular instance, it was a lucky
Phantasy Star II fan.
