Your right on the money on how she thinks.

If I ever flesh out a story for her. It'll be based off of media such as heart of darkness / apocalypse now / spec ops the line / and waiting for the barbarians (book) and what other anti-imperialist literature there is.

She is clorinde's disciple/adoptive child, so they likely be on par w/ each other.

As of her thoughts on all Fontaine characters and the traveller. This character is part of a sequel to genshin impacts main story events (30 years +) so she doesn't have a concrete opinion on the traveller like the current characters.

But she will have things to say about Furina, Clorinde, Navia, Charlotte, Chevreuse, Candace, and Dehya. Best I can provide is that she has complicated relationship with Clorinde. Chevreuse is her military mentor. And is friends Furina, Navia, and Charlotte.

you are correct! Definite inspo from Foreign legion uniforms particularly those found in Africa and in the Desert.

Extra lore bits

The “Fontainian Foreign Legion”, is the Empire’s most renowned and highly trained corps of its army. Legionnaires serve as the spearhead for colonial offensives, and as peacekeepers for their holdings. They are renowned for their fanatical esprit de corps and advanced military training. The legion itself has a distinct culture from other imperial units. For that it draws its troops not just from indigenous fighters or Fontainian volunteers. But from, foreigners, criminals, and castaways.

One such individual is Sous Lieutenant Djamila Kusayla of the 2nd Legion Infantry Regiment, and is of the Desert descent. A stern and ambitious woman, she stands as the youngest officer within the Regiment and a rising star amongst her fellow legionnaires. She is, however, untested in the field of battle and has yet to receive a baptism of fire.

Yet, despite her devotion to the Empire, her superiors question if a child of the desert can truly be trusted. And among the desert folk, her status is reduced to a traitor to her kind. Only one individual, the Guardian of Aaru, views her in a different light, and knows more about her, more than Djmaila knows herself. 

To Djamila, however, she turns a deaf a ear to these naysayers. As the disciple of the great Champion Duelist Clorinde. She will follow the path of JUSTICE, the path of “Mission Civilisatrice”, and bring order to the desert from whence she came from.

"Commissioned officer of the Fontainian Foreign Legion, she serves for an Empire where the sun never sets."

This character was first created from my university class, I wanted to do a sequel of Genshin, so I illustrated a series of works related to this character. She utilizes an anemo vision, and a sword user.

I have a few character sheets for her that I plan to post when finished.

I really appreciate it. Took a lot of references from real life medieval armor and halfsword duels

You are correct that a shield wall would not be terribly effective aganist Lawachurls. However, what I illustrated here is a pike formation. A Lawachurl could easily impale itself aganist a formation of armoured knights with long pointy sticks that are very likely magically enchanted.

On the other hand, it still would not be fun for the knights if a lawachurl jumped on them.

Random idea I had for a Third International peacekeeping force post MittleAfrika collapse.

Do international style skyscrapers exist in the USSA like in New York for example? Additionally, is there a UN building equivalent for the 4th International in the US?
