As for the picture that Zhar has in the OP, that pic looks solid to me. I'm sold on that look. However, the ones I viewed at Blizz's D3 dot com site were not as forgiving. I'm of the like mind with some people here that the armor look for her, and by that, yes, I mean the shoulderpads/pauldrons, is a bit off. That aside, the concept art for the female monk is decent enough - by looks, you know she's a woman, and by skills in battle, you know that she could probably hold her own against someone like...say, Xena.

Practical realistic monk armour doesnt do it for me; big dangley symbolic pendants are the way to go.
p.s. I would love to see a monk pull some cheezy move and pull out a still beating heart from some beefy classic winged demon.
I find it strange that she appears to hail from different climes than her male counterpart, with her fair(ish) skin, blond hair and Nordic craniofacial morphology. Do they not both hail from any single monastic order, or if so, is it Sanctuary-wide?

For me, I'd like to see the Dev team stick to as much realism toward monk garment and realistic gear progression as they possibly can. That's what the sensible person in me says.
The completely-mental-wacked-out-freaky-gaming-nerd in me says that anything close to someone looking like Akuma going completely nuts sh** on multiple demons and leaving nothing more than a charred, bloody, limb strewn pile of destruction in their wake is so mondo cool that I could give less than a (expletive) about how their armor appears.

Who says the monks have to come from the same region. I think the monk is more based on religion.
Of course, I'm just wondering if this means that their order is that widespread. Everything in Sanctuary has been really culturally insular, so far, each region being quite independent of the others. A worldwide religious order would be quite a new achievement.
I wasn't trying to make an issue of it, though, I just find it curious.
