>Supposedly there are "mountain" and "swamp" substyles of mori but they didn't catch on like the "forest" style did so you never really see them.
"Mountain" is yama girl, which has almost no relation to mori fashion and is an outdoors lifestyle hobby sort of thing. "Swamp" is numa girl, an inside joke with Japanese mori girls who didn't feel "pure" enough for the style based on on the mori girl checklist. They'd talk about dirty things in their community but dressed pretty much identical to any other mori girl.

Use of darker colors in mori does (did; the fashion in itself is basically dead) happen in Japan, but mori doesn't really have substyles the way people expect it to so you'd never see it called anything specific. I don't mind strega being separate because most of it looks ugly to me and is, like you said, based more heavily on a witchy aesthetic than mori is meant to be.

Not really, but it could be if you wanted it to.
