I do like the new design, it really works, but...I do have to wonder about that "Taken off" design. It feels like something's missing. And I know that makes sense when something that could be considered the focal point of the character, or at least something that you almost identify with their character, is missing, but here it seems like, and I don't want this to sound bad, but it looks kind of like she's lacking.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as I think that could easily be compensated for with a show of personality by the character, but I'd say her design inherently benefits from having it on. If I had to put this another way, I'd say that it probably comes from there not really being too much to her mid-lower body.
...Actually, this all does seem harsh, and I don't want it to seem that way because I really do like her design, but this is what popped up.
