Don't be fooled by her "angel-like" look, Lily's blades are as sharp (and fatal) as always.

My thief's new look! I even have a whole story with this character ^^ So I wanted to share it with you :) I also had fun with photoshop with some of those screens (first three ones and last two ones) as you can tell xD
Note : on the main image, the look is vanilla. I only retouched what's around her.

I am not a writter so this is really just an idea of what's playing in my head ^^

THE CRACK
With all Elder Dragons, one by one, violently shaking Tyria more and more, chaos keeps spreading like wildfires. Death and corruption lead to the end of many tyrians. Where was life and joy before, is now reigning new dangereously powerful creatures bringing "Hells" at the surface. This is what some people call "The Crack"

LILY'S ASCENT
Forget Lily as you knew her. While all supernaturally magical forces have changed durig the "Crack", Lily went herself through some changes.

Indeed, she got..."ascended", as some might say. It is unknow how Lily went trough those changes, not even herself knows the source of her new powers, abilities and...you know...wings. Some ancient forsaken gods? Maybe those strange creatures living in Tarir? Doesn't matter for her. From now, she knows how great she kicks ass that's all that matters.

Lily also knows what she has to do : to explore the forsaken lands and seek for the restablishment of "the Balance" by carefully and strategically fighting the chaos installed in the different realms of Tyria and the Mists.

PREVIOUS FORMS
Lily was born from the mists and frozen rivers from Niflheim until her soul took the human-form of a young street rat in Divinity's Reach. She, since then, kept trying to have a place as a defender of Tyria, fighting the Elder dragons.

INSPIRATION
- Bayonetta's Lauch Trailer (La Roux In for the Kill)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCdGjf0JxY0
- Alice Madness Returns's dark surrealism
- Ancient greek and egyptian iconography influenced the style and chromatic scheme of the look, using colors like gold, white, brown and blue. The blue is also a good way to echo her "past-self".

My will to show a twisted god-like human is the reason why I've chosen to sometimes use pistols on the screens and to choose landscapes with a post-apocalyptic or dark surrealistic atmosphere.

Your presentation is just FLAWLESS
The description, the screens (especially your editing), they are just extraordinary
The armour mix is great, the shoulders and the coat seem like they are from one set when they aren´t
Personally I would have loved one more colour in the coat, but heck, take my gold!

I'm so happy you like her!
(Yeah I tried to add more colors on the coat but it becomes quickly too much. So I kept it simple ^^)
Thank you !!!

This might be the best desciption ever!
You put stunning effort in your presentation, the screens are also super nice!
I think combining the falconers coat with the wings is super creative! Ive never seen anyone doing this before, even tho the pieces seem to be made for each other :D
My only critic: i think if you dyed one of the areas on the coat different than white it would be an even more interesting look!
Still Gold for you and for the best description of the year probably xD

And this might be one of the greatest comment I've received :D
I've noticed the differences of "white" in the outfit but only on the main menu. It doesn't clash as much "in game" :p
Thank you soooo much! I did work hard on the presentation x) but it was very fun to do :p Still, I'm very happy to see that some people appreciate it ^^

It's so hard to dye Falconer's coat in some interesting way ;s so screw that, I like it full white! :D
Your screens (and editing as Elessar Taralom said) are masterpiece :)
Very beautiful look with amazing description :)
