Since we talked about Tau, how's Shadowsun in Crossthicc?

If i had the inspiration for it, I'd probably write more about her!

I'm thinking that the Tau Empire here is a fairly typical Federation-type deal, and so she very much fits the mold of a heroic mech pilot champion, if rather aggressive. In this way, she can be thought as a very optimistic combination of, say, Yoko Littner and Asuka Langley-Sohru in terms of her general demeanor here, though she's probably a bit more professional than either of that implies. In this case, they are in a weird relationship with the Coalition; they're allies and fight alongside each other against greater threats, though they're also rivals who compete for glory, influence and settlement rights on newfound worlds.

She's very much in the model of the ace mech pilot fighting evil with pure heart and mighty spirit; she's probably a good parallel to Simon the Digger from Gurren Lagann, actually! (In terms of the tropes that inform her general character and the sort of wacky shit she does!)

as a result of her great influence, steadfast determination, and probably a LOT of overly enthusiastic modding, she's very, VERY big, requiring specially expanded mech suits simply to fit her enormous, hyper curvaceous body. She quite enjoys putting her human rivals to shame; when a single breast is larger than most of your rivals (or even their entire ships, in moments of great courage that expands her to orbital size), it's a great metaphor for the spirit of the Greater Good!

(Of the majority of non-Primarch characters, I would probably be most enthusiastic about writing her.)
