I need help with copying the Charr "Soldier" NPC's model!

Hello! I got a lot of amazing help last time with making my own Almorra clone on this forum, but now I am looking for help with copying the more mundane charr 'Soldier', who is a re-used model for many many other NPC's in and around the Black Citadel, like Rancher, Citizen, Salinus Warbreaker, Tira Quickfury ... you get the idea. Wiki link to the character model for reference

For the most part, the character is like most charr; default sliders. But the colours and lighting on NPC models is lower quality than character models for me, even on maximum graphics (with some lighting washing out colours horribly so).

I've already gotten help solving the armour (Armageddon gloves-pants-boots, draconic coat, heavy plate shoulders, for anyone who wants to steal the look)

It's difficult for me to constantly remake characters to stand beside the NPC, especially because the armour makes her look super bulky, but thankfully there is a Rancher I can stand near in the intro that is behind you on spawn-in. I just don't have the currency to repeatedly change my armour or use style kits on errors, and can't examine in different lighting. I also have a lot of trouble discerning colours from one another even in perfect scenarios.

If anyone can provide me with resources to help figure out these things, or can tell me straight up what shapes and colours this NPC is, I'd appreciate it so much!

Here is what I've gathered:

  1.  Height: Doesn't matter (Citizen is also weirdly bigger than all the other identical models, but I don't care about being the wrong height)
  2. Physique: Unknown, hard to tell, need help. The hair shape is the easiest tell, and I think she is bulkier than she is thinner
  3. Fur colour+pattern: Dark Grey I think is most plausible colour, but Very Dark looks really similar too. Pattern colour is the same colour I think, I don't believe she has two colours because there's no visible pattern on her tail and she is pretty well covered in armour. This makes her specific pattern shape irrelevant because it would be invisible.
  4. Hair: First option on the list (wavy mane), and I think it's Black
  5. Horns: First option again, default length
  6. Head/Face: All sliders are at the center position, but her eye colour is hard for me to discern. Her eyes could be Dark Purple, Bright Purple, or Light Purple.

If it helps, that picture's file page has an older version of the screenshot with less of a fisheye lens effect going on. Her eye color seems pretty bright, I think I'd go with the 2nd lightest purple there.

Much appreciated!! It might still take a lot more trial and error, but this will still help if nobody else has information on specifics

I think I finally found it!

Physique shape: 5
Fur: Dark Grey
Hair: Black
Eyes: Bright Purple
ALL sliders set to neutral. Height is variable since different NPC's have different heights.

Shoulders: Heavy Plate
Body: Draconic Coat
Gloves: Armageddon
Pants: Armageddon
Boots: Armageddon

Dyes used: Cocoa, Lemon Shade, Black (all dyes are worth 50c to 5s)

Thank you to the people who reached out to me in game to help with colour correcting!
