"Honestly, I thought she was dead. My greed put my dear friend into a horrible situation. Lain fought until she could not stand--and then she continued to fight off the Mordrem just so I could escape. The Mists claimed her and forged her into a weapon of light. No matter how sardonic she may appear, she truly seems to enjoy defending the weak. Perhaps, this is the reason she has befriended me--a pathetic, talentless mesmer." -- Alexander Damon's Journal, 1329 AE
When Heart of Thorns came out, I knew I wanted to main a herald. I already had an established human female warrior with a backstory, so I recreated my warrior as a herald-- hence her distinctive look and consideration for practical armor. I was inspired by her story as an honorable, yet troubled warrior. Because of this, I decided to give her the appearance of a traditional paladin or valiant knight. I figured that if she came back from the Mists, she would have been most inspired by Glint, Jalis, or Ventari--opposed to darker legends like Shiro and Mallyx.

 Purgatori Fashion Guru | without a log in screen shot its hard to judge the armor properly. Would you mind including one? also .... she looks pretty epic by what you are showing us so far, but I would love some more screen shots of her. Im sure to give you gold when I can see her properly ^.^ |

 Beckie93 Fashion Collector | Wow. This combo and dyejob is really good.Thought the top and bottom were from the same set for a sec. I like how you dyed the cloth bits blue to make em blend so well(even if you had to use different shades for it to match). I would've maybe chosen a more brown ish gray dye instead of the blueish frost but I think thats just personal preference. That last screenshot is STUNNING omg. You oughta use it as the main picture! All in all a really solid armor comb with interesting dyes that really pop and with a clear theme for your character :D I wanna see her on a horse jousting. Take my gold~ |

 Elessar Taralom Fashionista | I really really like this mix! The armour is great, the heavy guild top has so much potential (and normally I dislike the coat of arms on there) and it makes the look all the more natural The scar and particularly the way you dyed it looks so realistic! With her short hair she reminds me a bit of Brienne of Tarth and I mean that in the best way possible! Your screens are amazing and I love the little backstory The tiniest nitpick I might add is that the dyes look a little bit flat; it´s not the particular mix that bothers me (silver/blue/gold looks fine), but the dyes are a bit bright and I´d like to see some more natural shades But as I said, only tiniest nitpick and this look is still definitely a gold for me! Well done ^^ |

 AnaChronism Fashion Guru | Wow this is such an amazing look! I love the armour mix here especially the WvW bottom piece looks so amazingand fits quite well to your "noble warrior" theme. I love the scar here it looks so realistic like it already belonged to her face all along it simply doesn't look like a random warpaint or anything. The dyes are so beautiful the shiny knight like armour combined with this royal looking blue gives me some authentic vibes here and I simply love it. I actually don't mind the shiny aspect and I know it's hard to find a nice greyish or silver tone that doesn't look too shiny (unless you want to spend a lot of gold for the new grey- tones). Your screens are beautiful and amazing every single one of them is very nicely taken. From me that's an easy gold! |

 Hylek Fashionista | This outfit is absolutely stunning! I love how you made a more sturdy bodyshape work! Also im super in love with her face! It looks kinda androgynous and fits the warriorish aspect perfectly! On the other hand she looks still soft, nice and feminine in some screens ... you definitely gave her an absolutely unique and characteristic appearence, just amazing!!! The spear fits your outfit spot on and your screens are very pretty! Definitely Gold for this unique Paladin! :D |

 Gewreid Fashionista | I absolutely love how you make the revenant glow on the hands work by combining it with the glow of the staff and an otherwise "plain" armor. |
