These distinct styles blended together into one costume could signify that this person has two different professional identities. Perhaps they are a multi-hyphenate actor and singer? Or maybe an athlete with an acting career?
We also know that Medusa is a figure from Greek mythology, which could mean this person could possibly have roots in Greece.
Also, Mustang and Gnome seem to tower over Medusa when all on stage together. This could be a major clue about Medusa’s height.
