Okay, so, please don't kill me!

Alright. So, if you're familiar with any of my RPs or some of my art, you might know that Ryoka is an Eldritch Abomination. And, as is customary with some of the more communicable or refined cosmic horrors, I decided to give her a human form to roam among the peasants- err, mortals. Being an enthusiast for the arts and one of the more (usually) sophisticatedly-minded characters I have(And also maybe partially because I heard that a ryoka was apparently a form Japanese currency?), I decided to give her a human form of a geisha (Which, for your information, is NOT a prostitute, but an extremely skilled and sophisticated artist/musician/dancer/performer/hostess/etc.). Although I probably already knew more about geisha than the majority of Americans, I still needed to do a couple of hours of studying in order to be able to (attempt) to draw a geisha. Eventually I settled on what I believe is a susohiki, which, according to what I learned, is only worn by geisha or during performances, and a (probably not drawn that well) shimada, which apparently was/is a pretty common hairstyle for fully trained geisha. Then I looked around the Internet to try to find what patterns and designs were appropriate for this attire and a geisha, but my results weren't exactly the best, so... please don't kill me, and please correct on the stupid American mistakes I made. Is she actually a geisha, or is she a meiko, or is she some weird mix, or is she neither, or did I accidentally make her some other nationality? Are the colors and patterns acceptable? It was really hard to determine if her natural color scheme would be acceptable for this outfit.

Anyway, yes, her eyes and hair shines are supposed to be those colors because she's an Eldritch and kudos to anyone who knows what the symbol on her hair comb means.
