EDIT: I went back in and added more detail and bamf. Especially adding lots of little detail to her shirt, so that the embroidery stands out (I felt it was too lackluster compared to the rest of the design). I also exported it to be larger, so you'll be able to see the details clearer.

What is it with me and cute girls paired with metal?

Pen Wells is the sole daughter of a great knight, trained hard since she could walk on her feet, she hopes to carry on her crippled father's duties one day. Her petite body is made up for by her skill and massive training to keep her feet planted on the ground.

She's a character designed for a future Guardian Sagas title - whichever one it is has yet to be decided. She's a defensive unit with major fortification and her style revolves around a front-line stance, taking in and deflecting as much damage as possible, preventing it from reaching her less defensive allies. Her Umbrellance can fold out (like an umbrella) and become a shield, allowing her to defend a wider area.

Her defense also sinks into her personality. She's extremely shy and shuts people (other than her father) away from her emotions.

--

A new element in her design is her Iron Hood, which, when flipped over her, completes her armor. But it reduces her vision greatly. Flipping it over, opening her Umbrellance, and assuming a defensive position puts her into "Tower Mode", and makes her a living obstacle.

Personally, her Iron Hood could use a little tweaking in design.

The hood's a pretty cool idea. I notice it make her look a bit like a pen herself, I assume that was the intention?
So the flipping of the hood makes her immobile but gives her more defense, or does it just slow her down?

HAHA! I didn't notice it looks like a pen. That's hilarious. XD

And no, her hood just simply reduces her vision. Her entire defensive stance makes her immobile.

Ah, got it. Kinda looks like it would hurt to jump on her in that mode.

Indeed. Paper Mario should keep that in mind.
