Maybe one of these pieces? Look at a few Nexo Knights sets - they probably fit the design pretty well.

I’ll try you nexo knights idea later… but I’ve narrowed it down to 3 designs (colour not withstanding). I’ve arranged it so the left is the same design through out each picture.
Might do something with her heels. Apart from that, if anyone has any last minute comments (especially with colour), I’ll give it a try. Else, I’ll just start posing her.

I think the legs with the dark blue thighs look by far the best. Not to mention they use less nonexistent parts than the other designs
Though I still think her forearms are way too long, a custom design would probably be beneficial
I also think the lower legs are kinda weird in all three designs just based on colour layering, they’re the only parts of her that are white on blue rather than blue on white

I like the middle one. Covers up enough while not affecting the silhouette too much. The two on the ends look too exaggerated. I’d recommend changing those Piraka limbs (I think those are Piraka limbs…) for Rahkshi limbs, like the one on the right.
As for color, I’d agree with Monopoly. Stick with blue-on-white, which for the most part you already do.

I’ve decided to follow my gut instinct and go with what I felt right. I’ve narrowed her down to 2 version.
Legal version and “You have to repaint your pieces” version.
REPAINT YOUR PIECES VERSION
100% LEGAL (if you ignore custom pieces) VERSION
Which one do you prefer? Lemme know if legality matters to you. Does legal eye colour matter, because the legal version has legal eye colour.
Now all that’s left to do is select a version, pose & render… but that’s for tomorrow.
EDIT Quick photoshop mock up. Probably going to input my entry tomorrow or friday.
Chiara’s heels (which are just Gali’s feet from Mask of Light) can be found here…

Normally legality matters to me, but here I’d say otherwise.
The repainted version looks much smoother, specifically in the thigh area. The thigh CCBS shells on the legal version stick out too much. I think you should keep the legal’s Rahkshi shin design and carry it over to the repainted version, it looks smoother and doesn’t make her look like she’s got scrawny ankles.
She’s come along very well, can’t wait to see how she does in contest!

MEGA-EDIT Finally submitted! Thanks so much @Minethuselah & @TotalMaddness
The worst part about this is making a finalised process… This is the less-than-legal version…
Unfortunately nerfed her butt in this one.
Let me know which aspects of both renders you like, and I’ll see if I can mix & match the best parts.
Of course, this is missing the energy trails, so there’s more tweaking to do, but that’s for later.
I’m trying to find a way to either tuck in the thigh armor plate from @TotalMaddness 's thighs, or incorporate the nuva butt onto the CCBS. Image for ref.
Also, any suggestion for other poses?
UPDATE: I’ve started rendering. Could use one or two more poses, plus I need to composite, background, effects (e.g. thruster trails) & stuff. Here’s some of the poses I’ve rendered/ am working on. I’ll use all of them, but I need to choose a hero shot.
I think I need to rotate the 2nd last render’s head. It’s nice, but it’s not hero shot material. She needs to be looking at the camera or forward. Looking back makes her look like she’s running away, not very heroic.
EDIT Finally got all my renders, now it’s just compositing & background.
