perky
"Take Davis' advice and change into something Perky and Noble, so that no one will look down on you.
Why not try something Grand and Perky?"
The character wants to sneak and infiltrates a high social class party, dressed like someone else. It's a "Dress Up" game, so I need to find something that looks like jargon...

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion
Pour les jeux vidéo, ça aide souvent de voir avec quels autres termes votre mot est mis en parallèle.
La tenue peut être "perky and noble", "grand and perky" (d'ailleurs, les deux sont-ils identiques ?) ou quoi d'autre ?
