extends RefCounted
## Data contract for character visual state: layer choices + color overrides.
## Defines the server-to-client data struct for compositing a character's appearance.
## MessagePack field names must match server/src/bridge/types.rs (rmp_serde named fields).
## D-159 (11 body types), D-160 (segmented regions), D-161 (head separate mesh).
## See docs/architecture/character-asset-organization.md Section 6.

	MUSCULAR_F,
	TEEN_M,
	TEEN_F,
	HEAVY_M,
	HEAVY_F,
	CHILD,
