Magical Tinker Lyrical Taylor Worm/MGLN

Yeah, steel toes (and usually shanks) go inside the boots, between two layers of other material. I think the shank and toe cap are a single piece, but since I've never dissected the examples I own, I don't know for sure. I do know that the steel shank makes for the stiffest boot soles imaginable. There's no flex in them at all.
I've owned a pair of steel toes with the steel on the outside.
 
If you want an overtly funny-looking boot you could go with an external metatarsal guard. Anyway, from a google search, apparently boots with visible steel toes do exist, but aren't common, and aren't allowed for certain purposes (risk of sparks causing explosions).

Wow, yay. Fan art Happy dance.
Dark Bodysuit under long grey split tailed coat. Heavy workboots (rounded steel toe) Black fingerless gloves with knuckle plates

I used green for the bodysuit simply because shading black/dark grey stuff takes more time. I'm more used to photo editing than drawing whole objects from scratch on my tablet.

Don't really see much of a resemblance
 
Google Fu: Steel toe and Shank Shoes!

Here I was thinking she was using "Off the Shelf" Sports Safety Gear (Helmet, Shoulder Elbow,and knee pads) Under The Barrier Jacket.
 
@Tobi'sAGoodBoy not an artist, the earlier anime/manga style drawing I did was literally my first attempt at the art style. I had to experiment to work out how to draw the hair.

Everything except her device(the visor) is part of her Combat Equipment.

omake - the traitor
The hooded figure watched from a distance as their target approached. Everything was prepared, it had taken weeks to find the right moment, the right means to truely show their target the error of her ways. She would learn not to cross her betters, how dare she outperform them at every turn in their shared lessons. The golden chain around her neck a tempting target for their ire ignored for now, too well protected, she never removed it and was excused from the general physical education that the rest of the student body had to attend.

A rainbow grid erupted beneath her feet, no! Impossible! She was pathetic, she shouldn't have power like that, didn't deserve power like that. They'd have to do something bigger, less traceable. But it was already too late, even as he started twisting the manaflow away from the capture array they overloaded, catching the edge of the academy's Al-Hazard derived barrier system. Dimensional energy spilled forth turning what would have redirected dimensional transfers into a nearby lake into a dimensional fracture. The cloying void between dimensions opened up, hungrily pulling all mana sources into it's eternal embrace.

The conspirators watched horrified at Anna Rose, supposed heir to a backwater house in the country was pulled towards her doom, her casting grid fracturing as she fought to escape before she tumbled into the endless void between dimensions.

"Scheiße"

He hadn't expected to survive, but survive he did. Instead a prisoners cot he now lay upon fine sheets in a bed far larger than any he had called his own before. A small force at his command, a common militia rather than trained Knights, but they were his to command. Everything since that day had felt like a dream, or maybe a blur, but it had been years since that fateful day. The day he killed an Imperial heir. The day he struck the spark that started this war, the war that currently raged across Belka.

He was the peacebreaker, and commander of the peoples rebellion. He promised them better pay, better healthcare, better whatever the hell they wanted. All they had to do was keep him safe, safe from the Wolkenritter, Loyal knights of Abendhimmel, who sought him still despite the fracturing of their order along with the country they served.

An almighty crash felt through his links to the wards was swiftly followed by the grey almost fog of a containment barrier being forced upon the area. His guards shouts swiftly turned to screams of terror before being silenced.He clutched the storage form of his device, the cracks a harsh reminder of his chances. It was over, it was finally over. He pulled the well made, but otherwise mundane sword from it's place at his hip.

A crash announced the arrival of his executioners, a young girl, no older than ten at the forefront, a mallet like hammer smashing the remains of the door aside, it's head stained red with the blood of his men. An older woman with bright pink hair followed, a single edged sword held easily before her. A Blonde in green trailed behind followed by a large fanged Wolf.

He shifted into a ready stance...
His nightmare would soon be over...
Yes, he could rest...

The world span and tumbled madly, he'd barely seen the swordswoman move. His vision grey dim as he watched her flick her blade clean.

Yes, time to sleep...

Well that answers one or three questions. Now the important one, when will they meet? Also when will Taylor start wearing dresses?

Sorry about that.

Also just finished watching the first two Nanoha movies, I doubt that Magical Girl's the first thing that'll come to mind when seeing someone like Nanoha or Fate fighting.

Though I gotta say I kinda find the comparison to be funny what with Taylor's lack of breasts(even realistically large sizes).

Quick question, what are the chances that the Trio find another way to get a reaction from Taylor? Like bullying someone else if provoking her is less likely to work

Unless things at Winslow are drastically different than canon Taylor won't give two shits about the Trio's proposed new victim. After all nobody ever gave two shits about her being bullied.
 
I can see Taylor stopping an active bully attempt if it is in front of her, but I doubt she would put herself out to go looking for the bullies if she rolled up afterward or something of the like.

Interesting that the assassination of one princess was enough to cause the entire nation to fall apart. She wasn't actually the ruler yet, right? There must not have been a clear line of succession after her. Lots of ambitious cousins or something. Was Belka fully unified yet? I wasn't quite clear on that.

The existence of the Wolkenritter as humans with roughly the same appearance as in canon raises some interesting questions and places some limits(maybe) on when various events can actually happen. Though it is impossible to date the second part.

Considering that the assassination of a piddling little jackwad who wasn't even in line for any throne kicked off WWI, I can see the loss of the heir dropping a nominally unified world into a war
 
@Martin Rudat & @jwolfe_beta She was a bit of a magical prodigy at a relatively upper class school, with a cover story of being a relatively unimportant nobody cares heir. The cover was so she could have a relatively normal school experience/childhood, maybe make some real friends before the hangers on started hanging on.

She was the only direct line heir, with no first cousins, and lots of most distant relatives. Add in local leadership in city states disagreeing with the succession, then throw in some external interference. Yeah, it's a mess.

Belka is sort of unified. There are Seventeen empires/nations all lead by families who claim decent from The Unifier, who ended the last global wars and brought peace to Belka. The global peace relies on the balance of power between the seventeen families.



Funny thing, it wasn't even an assassination attempt. Just a prank gone horribly horribly wrong.

So, uh, how exactly was this ruse supposed to work? Even with her being excused from phys ed they're still a magic using school. The moment she casts her first spell the jig is up.

In that day and age it's not like they're so imbalanced to have hours upon hours of theory and just a little bit of training, they should be spending a fair bit of time actively casting and training.

Lines like these really just make this guy seem artificially constructed to be a cardboard antagonist, unfortunately. He's apparently angry earlier that she has poor social status but is still doing better than them in lessons. Except no, she's a obviously a royal and as such is their better, so why the hell is his mental thought to try and double down on things?
