Hello,
a little late to the party here, I've been working for while on the concept unsure of whether to post or not. I thought i'd at least get some stuff up for people to see!

My champion is Rose and Thorn, a duo you could say, of a warrior named rose and her sword named thorn. She wears enchanted rose gold armor and has a serrated or "thorned" flame-bladed sword.

She got her armor and sword as a prize for leading a great battle, but always found herself to be more of an individual thanks to her thorny side. She now adventures the kingdom taking contracts and searching for treasure. I was mostly inspired by other hard female warriors like Brienne of Tarth and Lagertha

Here are some initial brainstorming thumbs before arriving at my idea:

Hey awesome design so far! The pose and armor is great but I don't understand the circle on her head and her sword looks a bit like a cactus. I look forward to seeing what this becomes!
