I really did this uniform as well. I hope they bring it back.
And I agree with the long flowing purple hair.
Please and thank you.

That dark spirit resided in Betsy's original body - not the Psylocke body.
Betsy fought an (evil) lady mandarin spirit to reclaim her Psylocke body in New Exiles. That spirit should've been Kwannon IMO. But she already banished and killed both spirits. So..??
Except.. Kwannon's Body - Psylocke is a body that's not similar to her OG body. It has been tampered/merged so aspects of Betsy can also be seen in that body (eg. Purple hair and eyes, etc)
Monarch would be the perfect codename for Betsy if ever she'll lose the Cap Brit title and Marvel never uses Psylocke for her again.
As for costume, I really like the X-tremist costume with long flowy hair:
I personally kind of like the name Psyonne if she ever loses the Captain Britain title. Like a play on “scion” since she comes from aristocracy. But I like Monarch if not. I feel like at this point it’s a guarantee she’s not getting Psylocke back unless Kwannon crashes and burns.
At first I was upset about Betsy losing so much of her character to Kwannon, but I’m excited about what the future holds for her.
You all think the horn means something? Or just Asrar having some fun? He’s been pretty consistent with only doing the sword and shield on the covers before.
Yes, but the horn has other magical resonance too, most commonly in association with The Wild Hunt.

They've said how Betsy becoming Captain Britain is a big shift on par with Carol becoming Captain Marvel. They also made Kwannon the new Psylocke to keep a version of the most recognizable iteration of the name.
So is this going to be a permanent shift? It'll probably take some getting used to, but at least they compromised.
I am speaking of when The Red Queen, ie. Maddie. Brought Psylocke back into the body that Kwannon died in. She had the body removed from its grave. Psylocke was then blasted by dazzler and brought to. She committed suicide and psi stabbed herself. She then had to fight a dark entity in the same costume as her to reclaim the Psylocke body. That's the spirit I am speaking of. She could have defeated it but maybe not entirely banished it. Maybe she brought Kwannon to, and that's how she became trapped. Regardless. She fought the spirit for the Psylocke body as Betsy just killed the Betsy body.
Whatever else happens with Betsy, it’s probably safe to assume the Psylocke codename won’t be reverting back to her. Marvel bore years of criticism from fans and creators over the problematic body swap because ninja Psylocke is the Psylocke brand for them. They won’t be walking this one back.
