Hey guys, I tried to write a story for her, but since I tend to include many details to catch the atmosphere of certain scenes... well, it just got very long in every way I tried to tell the story. So here the "short" version (I hope it's understanable xD):

As a child her village was raided by bandits and she lost her parents and her home. She grew up in the streets of Divinities Reach and later joined that group of bandits to take revenge on its leader. However, her attempt of killing them failed and she ended up almost beaten to death. On the brink of dying a voice approached her and promised she would live and it would grant her power, if she made a pact with it. She accepted and got fully healed. The voice also left her a magic hourglass. When all the sand inside will have run down the pact will be fulfilled and the voice would gain her soul and body in exchange for her life and power.
She then took revenge on the bandits but instead of feeling relieved, she felt empty. She continued slaying bandits, saying to herself she just did it to protect other people, when in truth she just needed a new purpose. Due to her ruthlessness the people in Kryta started to fear her. She then realised her cruelty and left Kryta to seek redemption in the solitude of the shiverpeaks. As the sand in the hourglass is slowly running out, the voice, which turned out to be an ice demon, started to take over her body. First it took her eyesight then feasted on the flesh of her hand, leaving merely bones and it is now growing up her arms. Occasionally it already gets control over her body. Regretting the pact she had made and unwilling to surrender to the demon, she tries to find a way out of their agreement or at least living what is left of her life to do something good. She occasionally helps the Norn fighting the icebrood, but quickly returns to her solitude, since she is afraid of being feared again or worse, being full taken over by the demon.

Soooo, this is my take on light legendary armor. To be honest, I find the precursor armor pretty ugly but the final armor looks actually pretty good. I just don't like the clumsy boots and the neck holder shape of the chest. Luckily the new fantastic shoulder skin hides the neck holder shape perfectly and so somehow save the chest piece for me xD For the shoes I chose carapace since they look metalic and therefore fit the leggy armor pieces and also they have a nice silhouette. The gloves are from the 4rd raid wing and just look really cool and correspond with the broad shape of the shoulders. As for the weapons I tried to match the dyes of the armor and the theme.

Hope you like her :)

Love the concept and I'm impressed with the execution. Great job on matching weapons with the overall winter harbinger vibe. Personally the light pant silhouette isn't a strength for legendary armor but you managed to capture a raw power emanating from the crystals with the icy/primal colour scheme. Overall gold from me!

I love it, the gloves are great with those new shoulders, also this new armor, everything fits the whole winter theme. But idk about the staff. Anyway, gold :)

Those colors look so awesome in character select, but unfortunatelly not so much in gameplay screens. What a shame. Also the shoulders seem a bit off to me. The shape is perfect, but the theme is too different from the rest.
Still she looks gorgeous. If you receive anything less than gold, it'll be only beacuse of envy :P

I like the story, it is very interesting :)
About the look, my favourite thing I guess is how you dyed the armor. I don't usually like the Wraith Masque but it looks nice on this one.
Nice screenshots, every part of the character is seen :)

Perfect presentation.

I love your colour-scheme!
The sophisticated pattern of the legpiece combined with the new shoulders make her look really fancy :D
At first glance i was confused about the gloves and how they fit in, but they actually match the bony part of the chestpiece very well. Combined its a nice balance between fancy and mysterious!
Your screens are amazing as always!
Gold for sure :D
