Nowa: Forest Guardian
Presenting the pantsu-less wonder of the forest X))

Quote:
"Nowa-mon competitive. Come on, Lou!"
Background:
Born and raised in a village without knowing her parent's face......Nowa is what you'd call a half-breed(human/elf)
She was often looked down with disdain by her fellow villagers due to her mixed ancestry. She also has a mystical ability to gain the trust of forest animals.
Still she toughs it out living with such innocence of a child.She accidentally wandered into the enchanted forest and was grudgingly accepted by the forest elves. Alleyne,Elven Combat Instructor and sexy granny to boot, took sympathy over Nowa and appointed her "Forest Guardian". But Alleyne's decision was not at all welcomed by the Elders, who basically banished Nowa from the forest under the pretext of joining the Queen's blade tournament.
Among her best friend, Lou is always with her. Lou's protection of Nowa is like that of an armor,he also serves as a reliable bodyguard. Speaking of armor, or the lack of it, her weakness during combat is that she constantly has to keep her skirt down ^_^6

Face shotskawaii ain't she?

The Rant:
Since I made a review of granny Alleyne, I just had to make one for the pantsu less wonder herself. Just who can ever resist the beauty of female elves? The long chew-able ears, her going au naturelle, Nowa is basically first gen of the Queen's blade line. Together with Reina, she was released waaaaaaaaay back in 2006, and started the Queen's blade collecting hobby.
Her back story wasn't quite fleshed out until Alleyne was also introduced. Anyways, Nowa being a half-breed has to live with racial discrimination among humans and fellow elves. It's quite surprising that upon Alleyne's introduction to the series, the previously unnamed Elf who appointed her Forest Guardian, there's a hint that somehow, their relationship to each other may just be more done just professional.
Back to the figure. Emphasis on this fig being first gen. Very disappointing X)) joke! Nowa holds up on her own when compared to the latest Queen's blade ladies.From the character design (reflects her never say die bubbly personality)

which is accurate to her manual, accessories like her weapon, Lou the monkey and her lack of pantsu :haunted:
Paint job is superb too, no bleeding (take a gander at her skirt's accessories) and plastic molding.
In my estimate and based on her background, I estimate Nowa's age to be along pre-teens bracket hence her oppai aren't quite developed yet...........which are soooooooooo tiny.
img247.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=l...52_123_73lo.JPG
(Sorry gal, granny Alleyne has you beat in that department)
Speaking of plastic molding, I previously opined that Nyxu (a more recent model) had quite prominent molding seams on her perineum(that knocked down my rating of her to 4.999999 out of 5.
img253.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=l...6_123_152lo.JPG
Well Nowa doesn't have that problem, so maybe the seam problem for Nyxu must have been a manufacturers defect.
Cast off is a breeze, pull the head up, slip out her bra, but I had a bit of difficulty splitting the skirt part, the paint kind of got to sticky for comfort.
img106.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=l...2_123_598lo.JPG
She is pantsu less, though her pudenda isn't actually molded with details, the paint apps are accentuating what and where her "lips" would look like..........so that automatically gives her a 5 out of 5 ^_^6 if I follow my standard.
Back to neutral........ though I love how this figure came out, it's accuracy to the manual, I kind off like the anime look of Griffon.(hey I don't own one, but pics in sites like moeyo etc got me convinced), though I'm not quite sure of the details of her lower part :haunted:
Final Grade:
Being quite @nal, if, I'd say IF, this fig had the face design of Griffon, her final grade would be a 5 out of 5. But then again Griffon had like 2 to 3 years to prepare for her. Megahouse back then had to make do with the manual so I'll throw them a bone.........5/5, because you can't beat a classic (hey she and Reina started it all right? .
