She uses a spell for head protection. Much better for vision, breathing, speaking, hearing and general situational awareness.
Could be her undoing though.

They're called by several names
Standard, Pisane, Mail Gorget, Mail Collar

It's strapped at the back

A half-elf mercenary from North Valeria, a region which borders the Imperial Duchy of Soderlingen.
