Description What do we have here?
Well, I have made some random drafts of Aquila's favorite outfits... and about her traits, why and how I have thought of them

Left to right:

Aquila's hands while in semi-phoenix form.. she has dark claws and an natural scale armor that goes up to her elbow (she also develops claw into her feet)

Eyes: surely I had payed attention to her eye design.. while the eye shape itself is kinda interesting already, I did it to look very obtuse on purpose, and reminds me of a predator's eye, and the intense red gives it the vivid look a bird should have.

she has dark markings around her eyes that are remarkable and suggestive as of some birds usually have marks around their eyes... basically it's dark skin, protecting the iris from excessive light (she has fire powers, remember)

Hair: the hair is no less import to her design, it was designed on purpose to be "wild" and fiery like in appearence, at the same time reminiscent of the amazing plumage of the phoenix, and it's really long, taking the place of the long tail feathers of a phoenix, that would be fluttering in flight..
That's why the design is basically shaggy, but I also gave it a classy look to make her appearance more elegant and mysterious... she usually wear ornaments on her hair

Default outfit: no need to talk much about it.. it's a dark red coat, with high shoulders, to give her a more impressive presence and sharp appearance... below that she wears a darker usual robe with long sleeves and a normal dark pants with shoes
A large tissue belt around her waist, and golden details to give her a more majestic appearence, as a phoenix should have...
at the same time nice for everyday fights and life

Beast Form: It's no more or less than Aquila in true 100% Phoenix form... that's the Phoenix design I adapted to fit her looks in anthropomorphic form... As the phoenix is a myth, I had room to design her the way I liked, the Phoenix in my mind is like a mix of an eagle/peacock with a marvelous metalic plumage that goes from golden to crimson red.. well, that's avian Aquila

Alternate outfit (fancy): Looks a lot like her usual outfit, just a bit more fancy and designed to make her look more sensual

Phoenix golden armor: the attire she would wear for a serious battle.. fireproof, powerfull and majestic at the same time, I clearly had egyptian influences on my mind when drawing this one.. I also did an alternative skirt, with tail eye designs on it

Necklace: Made of gold and rubys, this necklace was also, inspired on egyptian style, to give her an "ancient" powerfull feeling and at the same time making her look more feminine and elegant. It's a key piece of her wardrobe

Color Palette!

That's it.. you are now looking at an almighty phoenix's wardrobe.. show more respect!

Aquila, the Phoenix is my character

You always do an excellent job in putting feminine gracefulness and harshness in balance, especially with Aquila. Amazing.

You're very kind, I am glad to know it makes you happy.

Make more outfits of her, it's very nice how in each outfit you gave her traditional looks, whether subtly or explicitly. That is a nice nod to ancient and forgotten legends and would definitely remind us of phoenixes.
