## Visual Decision

Approved for the continuous batch run. v2 keeps the Wu red and teal palette but reads as a lighter riverbank infantry skirmisher through the lower headband silhouette, smaller shield, and compact dao stance. It stays visually separate from the heavier Wu marine infantry and cavalry units.

## Notes

v1 was discarded because long weapon poses reduced the body scale in several frames. v2 keeps the weapon compact, stabilizes idle/walk height, and remains readable without external bases, rings, or badges.
