A big reason, aside from the magical girl transformation, that I'm convinced Aylin's armor has to be supernatural is she's wearing full body scale armor. I adore the design of her armor, don't get me wrong. It's practical, beautiful, indicative of her affiliations, not the least bit sexualized — it's fantastic. But, can you imagine wearing a body suit of scale armor? In your pits, between your legs, into your boots — the whole body!! Fantastic protection, sure, but the chafing.

#OOC / HOLLY.#there's no reason to think she has a cloth underlayer either #if it's supernatural tho we can say it's completely comfortable to her without sacrificing protectiveness #real talk tho I like that altho BG3 has its sexy options you have a lot of more covered armor + casual options #in fact I feel like every armor I've seen has erred on practical #even robes / light armors geared toward casters have fitted sleeves; appropriate hems; and leg slits for ease of movement #it's not dependent on gender either. the options are equally practical [or not] for everyone #back to Aylin — her hair being down isn't especially practical but given she wears a helmet I'm willing to cut her some slack #that having been said in my mind she wears it braided as flush to her skull as possible #totally inaccessible + out of the way under her helmet #and if she loses her helmet somehow it's still out of the way + opponents would have a hard time gripping it
