Girl with mana-powered gun. Tried a new hairstyle, character mostly influenced by the protagonist of Biomega and BLAME!. Details below. (Now that I look at it, the pose is a bit unbalanced as she seems to topple towards the right.)
 
       Mental Burps:

    

       The timeline for this character is around 1940s, after WW2. By this time, enchanted weaponry had mostly replaced the need for combat spell-casting. Advancement in mana storage and the improvement of the impulse rod in the last War made these weapons cast faster than an average mage. The production of these weapons also made spell learning unnecessary for combat mages, except for the basic spells.
      Numerous custom-made weapons exist as well. This variant houses a sylph, making the gun an air based weapon. It fires pulses of air at different settings: Pierce, Normal and Burst. Pierce is for armour-piercing, burst is for shotgun-like effect and normal is ... normal. The gun can be charged to fire a stronger shot. The optional cartridge is for shield piercing bullets, tranquilizer darts, flares, etc. The sylph regulates the gun, making maintenance unnecessary unless heavily damaged. Being sentient, the sylph also recognizes its user and won't allow others to fire the gun.
       The SMG extension shown above is rarely used. The only scenario I can think of is to rapid-fire heavy rounds at aerial targets.
 

*Phew, that's quite a lot of words*
