This post is of page 144-145, which features Mia and Nephenee concept artworks with some commentary. The commentary is translated both on the page and here on this post.

You can find every translation I’ve done on this book so far on the compilation post here!

As you can imagine, the process of doing all this (scanning, editing, translating, etc) takes a lot of time, and I am unemployed…so if you like what I did, then…

Translated text:

[36] Three views of the lively swordswoman Mia. Her clothing had not changed much since her initial design. It seemed like a perfect match from her from the start. [37] Full body sketches of after she class changes to a Swordmaster. She gains a new long coat in addition to her trademark orange color and hairband. Lucia does too, just in different colors. [38] Three views of Nephenee. You can see the details of what is hidden behind her hair in the back view picture. Also, her helmet shape was initially like Titania’s would have been. Probably because it was to be a standard design for the Crimean Army. [39] Three views after she class changes to Halberdier. She gains an orange scarf and larger shield that stick out a lot. It was to give her a bit of an unrefined impression even after becoming a higher class.

Notes:

• They mention the hairband as a trademark for Mia, though she is actually lacking it in the Swordmaster design. However, it stays on her Radiant Dawn model…

Japanese text (original):

３６元気な剣士・ワユの三面図。彼女の衣装はデザインの初期段階からほとんど変更がない。それだけ完成されたものであることが何える。３７ソードマスタークラスチェンジの後の全身図。トレードマークのヘアバンドと基調となるオレンジ色はそのままに、ロングオートで印象を新たにする。ルキノと色違いの設定画も。３８ネフェニーの三面図。長い髪で隠れる青面の詳細も確認できる。また、ヘルムの形は初期のテイアマトと通ずるものがある。クリミア軍の共通デザインということだろう。３９ハルバーデイアへクラスチェンジ後の三面図。オレンジ色のスカーフと大きな盾が目を引く下級職時よりもやや無骨な印象になっている。
