When shadow warfare demands protection but elegance refuses to hide.

This female shadow warrior balances tactical necessity with elven grace through that metal helmet covering parts of her serious face while large pointy ears remain proudly exposed. Mid-length hair flows from beneath helmet edges maintaining feminine styling without sacrificing battlefield practicality, while partial face coverage creates strategic protection without complete anonymity. That serious expression communicates the same grim professionalism as her male counterparts—death serves equally and measures competence over gender. The helmet design acknowledges elven bone structure without forcing masculine conformity.

The metal helmet wants treatments suggesting necromantic service—blackened finishes showing death magic exposure, shadow-touched metals that drink light rather than reflect it, or tarnished silvers marking tomb centuries. Those prominent pointed ears need attention as deliberate exposure points—possible battle scarring showing identity matters more than invulnerability. Hair deserves careful painting showing maintained elegance despite dark paths, colors ranging from traditional elven blacks to death-touched whites. Visible facial features through helmet gaps benefit from that cold professional focus mixed with refined bone structure. Consider subtle corruption effects showing magic’s price.

Perfect for death knight commanders who earned rank through skill, shadow assassins combining stealth with tactical armor, or necromancer-warriors where feminine grace amplifies rather than contradicts lethal capability. Works brilliantly for builds proving deadliness transcends traditional gender roles.

Because some warriors measure worth in souls claimed, not assumptions challenged.
