Canthan Royalty - Qia

New look - yes - a human again.
Since the first time I saw Marjory, I wanted a Canthan-looking character. Since then, they added so many Canthan-style items, e.g. the Katana, the fan, the ram backpiece, la-di-da-di-da.. so it was about time to create a new character!
Very simple, very generic look, though.

Her name is Empress Qia - I initially wanted to make her a Mesmer but I already have 3. :l So I went ahead and created my 3rd Guardian instead because I desperately wanted to use the beautiful Carapace armor on someone as well.

Didn't really have the time to take too many nice screenies of her ( and it was night in-game, I was too impatient to wait for it to turn day again. :l ), but I have a bunch of funny ones left from a few weeks ago when I created her!

So yeah, I went for the major really bold dyes - gold, blue and red ( I wanted to go for green instead of red, but the fan is red and blue, so.. :l I still kinda like it. )

I used to have so many Dragon's Jade tickets, ugh, why did I sell all the skins. :c They would've been ideal - but meh. Too late!

I feel like my two human Guardian ladies are both very attracted to Logan.
When I take screenies like these, I always imagine the conversations that might've been going on at that point, ..
Queen Jennah: "Logan, Qia, your task will be strengthening the connections between Cantha and Kryta! You know, all the political issues in the past years.. we need to do something about it. We can't keep it like that any longer."
Qia: *looks at Logan*
Logan: ...
Qia: ...
Queen Jennah: "Wait.. wait no.. that's not.. that's not what I meant.."
Logan: "You should probably leave now, your majesty."
Qia: *dies internally*

Her armor:
Head - None ( I feel like her hair accessory is already enough for now )
Shoulder Armor - Protector's Shoulderplates
Chest Armor - Carapace Breastplate
Hand Armor - Claws of Koda
Leg Armor - Carapace Tassets
Foot Armor - Phalanx Warboots
Backpiece - Lucky Great Ram Lantern

Her weapons:
Belinda's Greatsword
Elegant Fan + Lord Faren's Rapier

Dyes:
Head - None
Shoulders - Illumination + Blood
Chest - Cherry + Royal Blue + Illumination + Illumination
Gloves - Illumination + Royal Blue
Leggings - Cherry + Royal Blue + Illumination + Blood
Boots - Illumination + Illumination + Royal Blue + Cherry

I hope you like it! :)
P.s. the pictures are not edited (besides being cut smaller), I just use lots and lots of shaders.
I also added a screenshot without any shaders/manipulation but on the highest settings possible for those, who play without ReShade/GemFX/SweetFX. :)
