Bionicle MOC: Kalikiki 2.0(a Kaiba Gal character)

About The MOC
After some feedback from Megan(Kaiba Gal) and many others I decided to take another look at Kali and address some issues, namely her hips/thighs that had a huge gap in them.

• Then in changing her legs they got longer so now they're more proportionate to the rest of Kali's body.
• I added in the ankle guards that Megan often draws when Kali is all armored up.
• The ankles needed more support so there's now a mini balljoint assembly added on for extra stability. I quite like how that turned out to because I think it adds to the fullness of her lower legs.
• She has totally new Cheek Guards because the original ones never looked quite right, and I noticed that the way they're drawn they almost exactly resemble the tips of those 4 length claw parts. Though I wish they were the proper color to match her mask. Oh well. This way they're a bit more distinguished. And much like translating a book to a film, some things just don't translate over exactly. Some adaptations need to be made.
• I reshaped her back to be smoother and less awkward looking to. I decided to include the orange bohrok eyes in the core of her torso because I thought it would look cool seeing as how her center is very visible. I thought it might look neat if she had a kind of energized core like I think a lot of Bionicle beings might. It was also a small way of splashing a little more trans orange into the MOC.
• Then I added a few other bits here and there on her arms, hips and hands to make everything look a bit more polished.

Pretty much every aspect of Kali was given additional attention and changed in either big or subtle ways. Now that I've given her some additional attention after working on another MOC to gain a fresh perspective. I'm quite happy with how she is now. I was mostly satisfied with her before but I knew things could be improved. Now that they have I feel this MOC is absolutely where it needs to be now. I kept what I liked about the initial version, and improved upon the things I felt that there was room to fix.
