#trotsh raphtalia

Real talk, I don't like Raphtalia's design. It isn't horrible or an eyesore but I still don't like it.

Let's start with her as a child:

At first glance there is nothing wrong with this design, it's just a stereotypical medieval,fantasy female attire.

On closer inspection you'll notice that Raphtalia is wearing shackles on her wrists and neck in the same places where she had the chains in the slave tent. Yikes!

This could have been used as a way to show us where her character stands, she might be out of the slaver's hands and safe with Naofumi but it doesn't change the fact that she is stil a child slave. Then she could have completely dropped the shackles after Naofumi's duel with Motoyasu when she is freed from the slave contact and decides to willingly follow Naofumi as his partner and not his slave, but of course this isn't what happened.

The most glaring issue I have is the fact that this child isn't wearing any pants underneath her dress or tights.

The dress is not short or anything,but you must take into account that Naofumi and Raphtalia are travelling through forests, mountains and other not so friendly terrains,this girl needs something to protect her legs. Like, have you ever seen anyone climbing a mountain wearing a skirt or a dress? With nothing underneath? Probably no and there's a reason for that.

Also they are fighting monsters, this child needs proper coverage for protection.

Now her as an "adult":

She has similar issues to her child design:

She stills wears shackles, because we have to be reminded that she is a slave apparently, and she doesn't wear anything under her dress.

Like girl, you jump around and run all the time you're just flashing everyone at this point, wear some tights at least!

And now,the worst part,in my opinion about her attire: the "armour"

The only parts the "armour" is protecting are her breasts and left shoulder. I guess the gloves and boots are made from the same or similar material,wich is great, but what about the rest of her body.

The whole chest,minus her boobs for some reason, are left unprotected as well as her stomach,sides and right shoulder.

Like, what was the point of giving Raphtalia armour if it doesn't even cover major weak points?

I am not expecting her to be in a full metal knight armour, but you have to remember that is essentially the vanguard,she is the first to attack and is always on the frond of Naofumi and the rest of the party, she needs proper armour that covers weak points.

Also, I don't know why, but the colours (at least in my opinion) don't mix well together. Her hair is also kinda weird, the side hairs just above her shoulders are ok, but what about those long snakes that reach her waist? Where does all this hair come from?

The Rising Of The Shield Hero (๑˘︶˘๑)

As I said, my mood really appreciates fantasy and Isekai series in general lately, so I'm doing fanart of all my favorite series in the little free time I have... I can't wait to put my life in order and be able to draw more than I actually can (⌒_⌒;)

Naofumi: is there even a difference between platonic and romantic Fitoria: of course there is! look at Raphtalia, Filo and Melty. you love the three of them equally, but in different ways Naofumi: Naofumi: I'm going to need another example

Rising of the Shield Hero episode 2

I strangely like how aggressive Naofumi became after being labeled as a criminal. I like him better this way. But I don’t want him to be viscous to precious little Raphtalia. I love her immediately. I just watched the part where he got her food, and she scarfed it down so fast!

a bunch of doodles of raphtalia!!! shes very cute and very strong and deserves only the best

Can we please talk about the moment when Rishia "officially" joins Naofumi's party because:

Raphtalia, a girl who has been enslaved since childhood is telling another young girl to give up her freedom and become someone's else's property. This is so messed up,like:

"Rishia-san , enslave yourself willingly and you totally gonna get stronger,trust me. Don't worry about the slave owner,he is a good one, you won't regret this!"

She legit sounds like a brainwashed cult member,like seriously,who talks like that? Especially someone who has endured so much pain and suffering under slavery!

Also,the process is painful AF!

You can tell in how much pain Rishia is by the picture alone but it becomes worse when you watch the episode. She screams and cries and is clearly in pain but hey, at least Naofumi got another underage girl to add to his harem!

Even Filo and Raphtalia herself understand how painful and agonizing this process is,why would you make someone go through all of it willingly or not?

Not to mention that no,you don't have to become a hero's slave in order to become powerful. I mean,it does give a little boost but it's not necessary. Someone can become stronger in a regular party without that nasty slave boost. But of course we can have that, otherwise we will ruin the self indulging fantasy for the incels who watch the show.

Raphtalia’s wig and ears are all done! Ears came out a bit bigger than I meant them too, but they are soft!
