When we were working on the first hour of MHF we focused on the characters that were going to have more screen time at that time, and we really overlooked the MC design.
That is why we did a complete rework of the MC. Every scene with MC on the screen will change to the new design when 0.3.0 goes public. In the meantime, you can check at some of the rework done on the #extras channel on our discord
