This heroine would be an Egyptian female gladiator (or gladiatrix) who fights for the entertainment of Roman audiences. The design isn’t necessarily meant to be all that historically accurate, but given that female gladiators are known from Roman records (albeit not too many of them) and that Egypt was among the Roman Empire’s most economically important provinces, the existence of a character like her shouldn’t be beyond possibility.

This is a redrawing of a character design I did back in 2019, giving her a fiercer pose this time around.
