Angela Balzac from Expelled from Paradise.
Explaining the half-X: There is no male version of the outfit, but her male companion is dressed, well… normally.
So looked this up… and you really are not kidding when it comes to the comparisons of wardrobe:
Seriously, this is terrible – why do so many people always think of the future as men wearing more or less what we do now and women wearing… stuff like that? Why not imagine a better future?

Mai Shiranui doesn’t really score that high on bingo, but is still important for the fact that she takes “no pants” and “no breast support” to astounding levels.
And yes… her doing this thing of looking like she’s pushing the back of her costume away to give a show to anyone behind her that it’s been picked up on by fan artists and cosplayers.
This is why we can’t have nice things.

I love it when designers have pretty okay looking female armor (like maybe a some subtle boob dents and or it’s very very fitted despite being METAL) but the give her a thigh-high boots and leave that oh so precious strip of sexy, sexy leg flesh DIRECTLY where the femoral artery is
Like someone doesn’t even have to slash them she could easily just cut herself on her own armor and fucking die before going into battle someone please stop the nerds jfc
Exactly! We regularly laugh at the ubiquity of exposed thighs in female armor because of that.
Here are some highlights of that costume design trope from our ‘no pants’ tag:

And let’s not forget about the ones which shamelessly display the double standard:

Maybe fictional female warriors lack major blood vessels in their limbs just as often as they lack spines and vital organs in their torsos?

Kat from Gravity Rush is a particularly odd choice of protagonists to dress like this since her super power is messing with gravity and she can only use it when in contact with her familiar Dusty (who is, unsurprisingly – a cat).
She also has perhaps some of the most worrying and yet completely understandable trivia:
If you touch Kat during the game, she will feel uneasy.
Personally I think that outfit by itself should be enough to make her uneasy…
