Suihei looks surprisingly good in blue. I have to say it's really cool how her keyblade shoots out different forms of magic. In a way, I also see this as a bit of a weakness, because what if Suihei needs to self defend herself with 'protect' but it casts 'aero' instead during a crucial moment. I guess you could say I see a potential opening for enemies to get in a hit with Suihei. I still love the other abilities she was with her second drive form, because bullets being shot out of Kingfisher is boss. <3

Haha, thank you very much! I thought the clothes from KHx would've been an excellent template for her attire, and a lot of the artists that I've met have done an excellent job in working it with her design - it fits the kind of person she is. ;n; And yeah, her keychain is probably one of my favourite things about the keyblade haha.

You were definitely right! The simpler theme of the Chi clothes definitely works. TuT
Her clothes kinda sporty too which I like :3
It's also nice how her keyblade incorporates an actual blade but still looks like a key. Not too the ridiculous sword aesthetic of the ultima weapons but not just a large skeleton key either. A nice balance.

Suihei's second Distortion Drive.


Graced with incredible magical talent at the cost of physical abilities, it promotes agility by keeping the young woman suspended on motes of magical energy.


With her Keyblade, she proves capable of combining spells in a calamitous manner that can absolutely decimate the battlefield, given an opportunity to do so. However, if she doesn’t wish to carry it, the Keyblade levitates under a minor anti-gravity charm; this option makes the keyblade a bit more difficult to control. Sending it into something akin to a 'magical trance' where spells are cast at random from the floating Keyblade while Suihei’s mana acts 'guide' in most cases. For example, if she casts fire - the Keyblade may cast ice. If she casts protect, the Keyblade may supplement it with an aero spell for wider coverage. This lends itself to the belief that this awakens Suihei's magical potential instead of physical.


As a replacement for her physical attacks, Suihei's Keyblade gains the ability to shoot 'bullets' of non-elemental energy that shred and rend whatever they may come across with a magical detonation. The Unique Ability of this Drive is ‘Blink’, which allows her to briefly phase out of the material realm into the immaterial realm of mana to make her intangible for a short duration, alongside ‘Quick Run’, which allows her to increase her speed to supernatural levels, as well as briefly 'skate' across the dangerous environmental hazards so long as she remains focused.​

Abilities


Healing Wind ; Cures all targets from ailments with half of their maximum health.


Dualcast ; Suihei can cast magic twice in consecutively with little drain on her mana. It permits her to use two different spells at once. If her Keyblade remains out of her grip, the second spell is randomized.


Fury ; An ability that breaks the limit of Dualcast, while limiting her to black magic it proves a substantial method of utilizing power towards the tail end of her Drive Charge.Each single attack is weaker than a normal spell, though it ignores the rules of normal Black Magic. They can be used even when silenced and bypass Reflect and Shell. Spells do not consume Mana.​

This outfit/image just cements something for me....the forms and KH2 outfit look in general just suits a woman far better than Sora lol. It looks so much more fitting on her. Then again I think I'm just drawn too it cause I like blue. haha

Darkness.

Darkness was everywhere. As far as the eye can see ; it grasped at her throat, attempting to snuff the life out of her with its frigid touch. It nipped at her heels, ate her Heart, and caused the briefest sensation of nothing to grasp at her for all for a few moments.

Suihei awoke with a gasp. She attempted to rouse the pitiful vestiges of memory that drudged through her mind unreasonably slow. It was like she’d been dipped into sludge, submerged in fragmented thoughts and untrustworthy, fleeting flashes that were barely retained. “What-“ Her voice was dry to her own ears. Weighed down with the grogginess that came from exhaustion, Suihei could make neither heads nor tails of where she’d ended up. “Noxic? Nyx?” Her call went unanswered. Fear seized her heart in its ice-cold grip. Suihei stood to her feet faster than what she thought possible, causing vertigo to take her just as fast. Desperately, she scrabbled around for something, anything to lean on. Anything that could support her weight, anything that’d make the cold, dreadful feeling that’d settled into her heart fade away.
What if they’d gotten hurt? What if they were—

Haha, well, the way that it works is that if she lets it go, she might have something to worry about because it'll cast spells at random. If she keeps her hands on it, she can cast one spell, and another will be cast alongside it for supplementary reasons. So if she cast protect, an aero would be woven into it to cast it on multiple targets, if that makes sense. It could definitely be something that'd be a pain in the hindquarters though!

Yeah, when I saw the Keyblade for the first time I fell in love with it for that exact reason - it has a unique look to it and blends the 'key' and 'blade' aspects perfectly. As for the more ridiculous aesthetics, I opted to use Omega Weapon as an ultimate for that same reason. It looks pretty without going into the gaudy territory.

As for the outfit- I get told that a lot, haha. I have no idea what it is about her that makes it worn better. It might be the midriff that accentuates it or something.

Note to self, get art of Sora and Suihei judging one another's outfits-

So that's her party members. A nicely done portrait. I like her CoM pose lol. I like both of her friends designs but, not sure why, the cat just looks cooler somehow. o-0

Did someone make the keyblade design for you?
I get ya. It's the same reason I like the Fenrir keyblade in KH2. It's not such an obvious design because, unlike most, the Fenrir is actually more like a modern house or car key which also gives it a more bladed look as well. ^_^

The last one just further cements how much more fitting Sora's KH2 outfit was for Sui. =O

I love expression sheets~<3
I like Nyx and Sui's the most. They seem more expressive.

Oh man that's actually pretty ironic ; all things considered Noxic is pretty ah, not stunted? He's just a lot more burst-y with his emotions. Nyx is at least good enough at emulating them, and Sui- well, she has a habit of wearing her emotions on her sleeves, haha.

 

[KingdomKey]

Suihei in Sora's KH2 clothes is phenomenal. Seriously, she's stunning and beautiful. Definitely suits her more than it does Sora himself. And the picture of Suihei, Noxic, and Nyx together with cards in their hands is outstanding. Group photos like that I could stare at all day. You certainly got some talented artists creating your fan-art, Arcana-Key. <3 Of course, Suihei is absolutely stunning with her many facial expressions. My favorite is the one of her looking 'annoyed'. Noxic smiling is cute. And Nyx looking shocked was super cute too. <3

Haha, I honestly thought she wore it better too. I can't explain it - maybe it's her skin tone that works with the colours? I'll figure it out one day, haha. With Sui / Nox / Nyx, you should expect another group picture before the end of next month!

I wanted to get something that'd be kinda like title art, if that makes sense.

--- Well, a group picture featuring the protagonists of Destati together in general "orz.

Expressions though, gosh I could talk about those all day. I think my favourite ones would have to be Suihei smiling, Nyx being annoyed, and Noxic laughing. For some reason it just crafts this cute mental image of them annoying one another "orz
