Good news, I've gotten my creativity back! Bad news, i'm stuck on the logic of women in the victorian era fighting in dresses. My character is sort of like a personal bodyguard for the head of the estate she lives at. So she does a lot of fighting and combat. It's a little hard to imagine my character fighting and moving quickly with a huge dress on. Women in the victorian era wore many layers of clothing. The weight of the crinoline and petticoats that women usually wore would have to slow her down right?
And lets not forget the corset. How can she fight wearing a tight corset and about 14 pounds (did a quick google search, may or may not be accurate) of clothing? Although she isn't human and has more speed and physical strength, surely she would trip over her dress, break the heel of her boots, or the crinoline would sway side to side, or back and forth and show her undergarments. I'm a little stuck on this at the moment but any thoughts or ideas anyone could share?
