That character is good  [@Horrid] (can you really go wrong with intimidating, crafty women?) as long as she doesn't start out with the full suit of armor.  It isn't really necessary for how peaceful the area is -- but something like padded armor with some chain or pieces of plate that she worked up herself would be fine.  Maybe she modified some local militia-garb to be more protective?

But since it's only in the picture you don't have to change anything.
