yeah actually the palette does look better this way.
2 things i would change, i actually think its better to keep the long part of her hair all the way to the back. and the other thing, her head on the main forward diagonal frame (stopped), i think you should be able to see all of her shoulder armor, none covered by hair.
Other than that it looks perfect! and you should submit it to the site submission page.
and yes, I suppose you could say she "changes jobs" but the reality of my plans for her are a plot organized by Agrias to assassinate Delita. She will basically take Balmafula's story spot, hired by the church to spy on Delita and later bought out by Agrais who will take him down.
(Delita never encounters Lede or Celia in the game, therefore he is not aware of what she is capable of.)
