GearSacred Weapon: Buyou Rouzu(Dancing Rose) - Is a light Daito Bokken(Wooden Sword) that feels feminine with a strong unyielding spirit she is 40 inches long from Kissaki(Blade Tip) to Tsuka Gashira(Hilt End) The 'Blade' is thinner and lighter then a average Bokken yet still durable and strong due to being made of a mysterious wood that is light like Bamboo yet durable like Redwood however unlike a traditional Bokken the Kissaki(Blade Tip) all the way down the Ha(Blade Edge) to the base were in it's creation magically sharpened to a cutting edge equal to that of her Rapier or Main Gauche
The Tsuba(Handguard) Is round with small wedges cut out on the north west, south west, north east, and south east facing side the edges are rounded and give the Tsuba(Handguard) four defined points Below the Tsuba(Handguard) is the Tsuka(Hilt) it is long enough that it can be used with two hands but not so long that it gets in the way (Basically the Bokken looks like
This and the Handguard looks like
This both with the below modifications)
The whole Bokken from Kissaki(Blade Tip) to Tsuka Gashira(Hilt End) is covered in a black lacquer with a matte finish which is why the wood is unknown the lacquer seems to be enchanted so that it does not chip or scratch easily the Tsuba(Handguard) has gold lacquer all along the flat outside and on both the top and bottom of the Tsuba(Handguard) there are four small gold lacquer roses so eight in total there is one located in the very center of each of the four sections of the Tsuba
The Tsuka(Hilt) is wrapped in a fine soft black Ito(Wrapping Silk) with a sideways diamond pattern with each diamond second being filled in with gold lacquer so if one removes the Ito they will see gold lacquer diamonds painted all along the Tsuka(Hilt) now we get to the Tsuka Gashira(Hilt End) it is capped with a simple gold cap with no extra ornamentation finally comes the chain and lock a thinish gold chainmail chain wraps a few times around where the blade meets the Tsuba(Handguard) and is secured with a simple small black steel lock that is located on the Mune(Blade back) so that it faces her and reminds her that it still has more potential
Head: The Greater Helmet of Oak - Is a dome shaped helmet with a piece of metal which hangs down the front to protect the nose it is in the Celtic Nasal Helmet style however the dome part is mostly rounded and dome like instead of pointed four pieces of metal come together to form the dome which is then covered with a solid dome shaped piece of metal for extra strength while a band of metal runs along the bottom and four bands of metal go from top to bottom in a plus pattern to help the helmet hold it's shape rivets hold the helmet together but the inside ones have been flaten finally the inside is then first lined with leather then lined with silk for comfort
The Noseguard is a long piece of metal which leans out slightly from the helmet and widens a bit towards the bottom while coming to a sort of arrow tip point at the end at the top where the noseguard meets the helmet proper the Noseguard is shaped into a almost cloud like shape this is done to mimic a oak tree finally the Noseguard is lined up so that it is in line with one of the four vertical bands of metal
Appearance wise the majority of the helmet is made of a unidentifiable metal which looks strongly of black steel but is feather light while the vertical and horizontal bands of metal are made of gold the noseguard too is made of gold and creates a golden oak tree on the helm at least they seem to be made of gold they may infact simply be gold plated the rivets which hold everything together are made of the same black metal and finally black leather straps secure the helmet onto the head
(The Helmet is generally shaped like
This however there is NO chain mail attached to it and the helmet has the above mentioned modifications)
Top: The Greater Tabard of the Dormouse - The undershirt is a plain black loose fitting long sleeve shirt with slighty puffy sleeves the Tabard itself is of the Crusader or Tutonic style it basically consists of two squares of mid calf length cloth with a hole for the head the sides are sewn together and in the middle of the front, back, and sides is a slit which is what differs it from a regular Tabard
Appearance wise the Tabard is a Lavender Purple with Seafoam Green trim that has gold filigree swirls embroidered in it all along the bottom of the Tabard and around the neck on the chest of the Tabard is a seafoam green silhouette of a Dormouse that is outlined with black (Basically
This Tabard only there is edging around the neck and the colors plus coat of arms on the chest are different)
Both the Tabard and the Undershirt are made up of a mysterious fabric that is feather light like cotten or linen but thick and durable like wool it also does not stain or tear however sharp objects still seem to get through to the skin (Basically think of when a cat's claw scratches you through fabric it's like that)
Bottom: Greater Leggings of Circinus - Form fitting seafoam green leggings made of a unknown fabric the fabric is light and soft like cotton or linen but thick and durable like wool strangely it both breaths when it's hot and holds in the warmth when cool while being mostly stain and tear resistant the leggings while form fitting are not too tight against the skin to allow freedom of movement and lack any special ornamentation
Shoes: Default Boots - Black leather mid thigh high boots with a slight heel the top is split and folded over with two rose shaped gold pins holding them in place down the middle of the fold is some decoration and from the bottom to the top there is swirling filigrees embroidered out of gold thread (Basically the boots are the ones that the male on the far left of
This example are wearing with the above mentioned modifications the boots are also a smidge shorter then in the example)
Accessory: Default Belt - A leather belt in the style of one in the Tabard example above it is made of black leather and has gold filigree swirls embroidered on it the clasp is a round almost shield like piece of gold plated metal with filigree detailing on it
Greater Gauntlet of the Dormouse - This Artifact is actually made of two parts the first part a under gauntlet is a pare of long black leather gauntlets which reach midway up her forearm they are fitted against the skin yet not too tight with two buckles at the top using black steel buttons most of the under gauntlets are covered by her undershirt and the next part of the set
What makes up the majority of the gauntlets are a pare of Demi-Gauntlets the Demi-Gaunts start with a piece that covers the back of the hand and knuckles leaving the fingers free it then moves down into a bell like cuff which protects the wrist and roughly a third of the forearm a strap of black leather crosses the palm while a ring of black leather encircles the thumb all to hold the Demi-Gaunts in place both the outside and inside of the Demi-Gaunts are covered in a black leather making the metal which is light weight yet durable unidentifiable while bands of gold circle the bottom of the bell cuff, the wrist, and line the knuckles these bands of gold are held in place by what look like small black steel rivets but one can't be sure
The Demi-Gaunts are meant to slide over the Leather Gauntlets and do so perfectly fitting as if they were attached however this means the only visible part of the Leather Gauntlets is the fingers and palm finally the puffyish sleeves of her undershirt fit nicely into the bell cuff (Ok the leather Gauntlets look like
This while the Demi Gauntlets look like
This,
This, And
This only with gold bands instead of bronze and the rivets the little bumps of metal are made of a black metal)
The Greater Shoulders of Amethyst - Are a Spaulder style piece of armor for the shoulders which unlike Pauldrons have no armpit protection the pare of Spaulders are made up of eight pieces the bottom one is large then there are three smaller ones before a even bigger piece which rests on top finally two medium sized pieces and a semi large piece at the top each piece is riveted together along the sides making it flexible yet durable and attached to the middle strap is a large flat almost coin like circular disk of metal that is mainly for decoration the plates are each made of a black unidentifiable metal that looks like black steel but is feather light finally the Spaulders are held on using three straps of black leather
Appearance wise each plate and the coin like disk are beautifully etched with a textured center and a line of gold running along the outside each plate and the disk the rivets holding the spaulders together are made of the same metal as the plates themselves while in the center and on either side of the center on the bottom plate, largest 'middle' plate, and top plate plus the coin like disk are roses but not real roses
In the center of the three plates and disk a large rose done to mimic stain glass is carved out it has then been filled in with expertly carved Lavender Amethyst which matches the curves of the armor perfectly then on either side of the larger rose are is a larger rose except on the dislike coin bring making it so that each Spaulder has ten roses and both spaulders together have twenty finally the lines which make up the rose are delicate looking but don't compromise the armor in any way
(Ok the Spaulders are basically
These with the above mentioned modifications while the rose looks like
This though the color is slightly off)
The Greater Mantle of the Rose - Is a very short Mantle that mainly only covers the shoulders and upper part of the arm so it's actually more of a Capelet! As mentioned the shoulders are covered as is the chest and it comes down to around the middle part of the upper arm which means it almost completely covers the Spaulders however the bottom part does peak out and the top half of the Dormouse on the Tabard is covered
The main body of the Mantle is made of the same fabric as her Leggings and Tabard so it is light and flowy while being thick and durable attached to the Mantle is a large wide hood which allows her ample hair and helmet space however it mostly is kept down finally a pare of golden rose shaped cloak clasps with beautiful swirls located at the top of the Mantle keep it closed shut nicely
Appearance wise the Mantle and hood are a seafoam green with each shoulder having a single largeish rose embroidered on it the rose is made to look like stain glass and in truth uses the exact same pattern as the Spaulders do the rose is also filled in with Lavender fabric in the center of the Mantle on the back is a even larger rose of the same design however it is usually covered by her wings
(Ok the Mantle is basically
This with the above mentioned modifications The cloak clasp is located right where the ties in the picture are)
The Legendary Wings of Athena - Is a feathered wing cape the cape itself is made up of a half circle that has been cut in half to make the two 'wings' the length of the cape is just long enough at the flat part of the circle for her to grab them at the edges then spread them at arms length while still having a bit go past her hands two longish strings at the top are used to tie the cape on while then many bumps all along the curved edge of the wings which are meant to represent feathers more feather bumps layer the rest of the cape to create the look of fully feathered wings that is the basic wing cape
Now to make it a feathered wing cape it needs well feathers upon each feather bump three to five actual feathers are attached creating a cluster if you will with all the feathers together it looks like a pare of wings which hang down loosely when not spread and when spread looks almost like actual wings from behind the feathers are from a unknown bird and like the rest of her Artifact gear are very light, mostly damage resistant, and mostly stain resistant
Appearance wise the cape itself is lavender purple while the two ties are seafoam green to match the mantle the feathers are either seafoam green or lavender purple and alternate by cluster in color so one cluster would be seafoam green then the one next to it lavender purple then the one next to that seafoam green again this gives it a mottled almost checkerboard or diamond like pattern
How the wings are used to fly with is she grabs both edges of the cape and holds them out sideways at arms length to make 'wings' the moment she does the cape glows slightly and in seconds stiffens! It also magically attaches itself to the back of her cloths and essentially creates a wearable hang-glider! Another important thing also happens a infinite breeze blows up! One that she can control at will! This allows her to control the height and speed of her glide and also allows her to lift off from anywhere! Finally once the wings are spread and stiffened she can lower her arms to carry someone or something the wings also do not become stiff like wood but rather are flexible to a degree
(Basically the cape portion of the wings look like
This with the above modifications)
Extra: Weapon Sheaths - Attached to her belt are the sheaths and Scabbard for her weapons the Rapier sheath has been moved to the right and sits infront of the Main Gauche sheath which is also on the right both sheaths are black with ornate gold filigrees on them on her left tied on to her belt with a good strong bit of cord is her Bokken Scabbard it is made of a unknown wood and covered completely in black lacquer with no further ornamentation
