Oh GOD okay this one is actually kind of embarrassing. This is Helen and basically she comes from an sci-fi AU (retelling?) of the Illiad. YES the ancient greek poem i said it was embarrassing. She (and her co-protagonist, Hector) are amnesiacs who start the story imprisoned. They promptly escape OF COURSE and go on to learn about the conflict enveloping the solar system and the suspiciously large role a couple of people looking
exactly like them played in it. As the story goes on she struggles with emerging facts about her identity & history, and her place in the Trojan war (spoilers: cloning is involved). Anyway, the point of this illustration is: Literally, Helen and Hector have to sneak around a lot because they're wanted dead or alive by both sides- hence the hood and defensive posture. I thought the pose emphasized her determination, and her conflicting desires to hide & flee from a conflict she was forced into vs. wanting to help the handful of people who supported her & knowing she has a unique power and position that can end the war. Also i thought it looked cool.
Here's her toyhouse (its not v good i still need to do some thinking about her character)
