Canthan Bodyguard

Born to an immigrant family that moved to Cantha before its borders closed, Nastasia grew up learning the ways of melee fighting, firearms, and sailing. Tired of Cantha's xenophobic ways and being an outcast in the country, she and a handful of crew and refugees set sail to Kryta. Unfortunately the trip met with disaster when passing the risen land of Orr. Though Zhaitan was dead, Orr's waters still festered with the risen and their bone ships. Only Nastasia and a couple of her crew members managed to make it out alive, eventually washing up on the shores near Rata Sum. The encounter with the risen had resulted in Nastasia losing an eye, crippling her sharpshooting abilities. Once her strength and wounds had recovered, she departed for Divinity's Reach. There she sold her services as a bodyguard to the nobles, one of which she is currently employed to. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I wanted Nastasia's armor to reflect her childhood spent in Cantha, as well as to echo the Oni blade--as the look was designed around that. The pieces I chose I feel are practical for her job, yet they are ornate enough to attract the attention of nobles. The dyes I also wanted to imitate the Oni Blade and felt that the darker colors wouldn't necessarily make her stand out from a crowd--as that would be a detriment to her job. Apologies for the screens, I'm not very good at taking them--but tried to get shots that worked with her story as well as showed off some of the details of the armor.
