[F] Lower arm is wider than upper arm (on all sides)
[G] Waist/hip guards typically are above kneeguards, a few side-hip guards being exceptions

[E] Fingers are single, curved lines
[F] Hands are narrow circles/ovals
[G] Feet are triangles

[H] Torso is longer, chest is shorter (height wise)
[I] Souldrive is located higher in chest
[J] Waist/hip armor varies more; could be extremely short or long on any side. Also, can be a single piece on all four side, or more than the standard 3-piece front
[K] Lower legs have a visible thick-to-narrow width, from knee being wide to ankles being small
[L] Ankles are generally more ornate than mechs' are
[M] Toes are pointier
[N] Feet are narrower
[O] Heel is not always flat (can have a high-heel look)
[P] Hands are slimmer, and rounded
[Q] Fingers are typically cylindrical, and are drawn as a single unit with lines added in for implication of joints
[R] Fingers are rounded at the tips, not flat like mech's
[S] Usually have approximately three crystals down the front/center of body, including Souldrive.

Side 5 Sparkling Manniquin

[A] One circle for entire body
[B] Body height = entire leg length
[C] Overall arm length is slightly shorter than overall leg length
[D] Midsized circle/oval for feet, or a lengthened cube
[E] Size of hand is about the same as the shoulder joint
[F] Head circle is about the same size as the circle for the body

Side 6 Sparkling Armor

[A] Dull Vfin, usually flexible for better expressions, so prone to changing shape
[B] Wide, almost touching optics with large eyes
[C] Visible mouth
[D] Souldrive makes up most of the body
[E] Simple boxes for arms and legs
[F] Sparsely detailed, almost to the point of over-simplification
