Description Figured I'd try my hand at doing a fightery styled sprite of Zena.
Threw her updated portrait thing next to it.
Hope y'all enjoy this!

Zena's another character for Last Legend...annnd one big spoiler in and of herself. So, I can't really divulge into her as a character because it ties into too big of plot points to do so, sadly.

However, I will speak briefly on how you meet her.
Throughout the game and after first initially getting her in a Cyperion lab (she's in a tube, strapped to a machine that connects to it to "preserve" her), she tries to understand emotion.
It has to deal with her sheltered life at the hands of Cyperion and its main mad scientist, Zeus.
This all runs FAR deeper passed that, believe me.

She ponders why they locked her up like an animal her entire life (that of which she even remembers) and never once feeling an emotion, just waiting.
Blank, empty, and emotionless.
Only being checked up on, tested, and put to bed.
Until you break her free from the monotony, a burden of bondage onward to exodus.

Her one unique battle ability can't be mentioned (falls under spoiler territory) but her other (her starting ability) is Bullet Ballet (though I probably won't outright call it that, but that's what it's inspired by).
It's a form of Gun Kata and Bullet Ballet, taking a page from Resonance of Fate's battle system, she herself would operate in having skills that deal with velocity and hang time while say...aiming, button mashing for more shots, sniping for a headshot, other fun stuff like that that deals with firearms and such.
Just making her a pretty interactive character with guns (regardless of if you're equipped with any or not on her).

Design-wise, she was inspired by Ghost in the Shell artist Masamune Shirow's art and overall cyberpunk style, as well as some Leeloo from Fifth Element and obviously alternative fashion.

Well, keep in mind all she wears are cybernetic straps, Tina. XD
She can't into regular clothes because of the straps.
Annnd how she uses them to manipulate to fight with.
