1. Rhodes Kitchen

Peak Margaret. The artist understood the assignment and portrayed the pure essence of Nearl. While she's wearing the outfit of her Guard form her presence and strength are that of someone who will Defend you. A culmination of all the greatest Margarets.

Rating: 12/10 Nearl

2. Defender Nearl

The Original Nearl. Truly the quintessential Margaret. Strong. Capable. Protective. Beautiful.

Rating: 10/10 Nearl

3. Nearl with her sister

While the face is a bit off from usual due to a difference in artist, this is still very much Nearl. Still a strong, beautiful horse that will protect you.

Rating: 9.75/10 Nearl

4. Nearl Alter

A different form of Nearl that deviates from the base concept, but still retains the feel of Margaret Nearl. Could easily be 3 instead depending on your viewpoint, but the sporty competition-ware bumps her down for me. Still a strong, beautiful horse that protects you, though the difference in artistic vision does cause her to drift a bit in recognizability.

Rating: 8-9.75/10 Nearl depending on viewpoint

5. Nearl Alter Skin

While she gets points for having somewhat proper armor instead of her competition garb, we are starting to deviate a bit from what Margaret Nearl is. The artist did their best to portray Nearl while still satisfying the given outline of a "lithe and sexy" skin. As an optional, alternate look meant to differentiate from the base art, I don't really dislike it, even though it is losing the plot a bit. Still can be considered Nearl Margaret for the most part.

Rating: 6.5/10 Nearl

6. Ambience Synesthesia Nearl

Really does not feel like Nearl. Too lithe. Too exposed. Slightly forgiven since it's supposed to be a "fashionable and extravagant dress" look instead of her normal wear but this is for the most part not Margaret

Rating: 4/10 Nearl

7. This is just Platinum

The artist accidentally drew Platinum instead of Nearl. The only remnants of Margaret are her having larger breasts and thighs than Platinum.

0/10 Nearl, this is a different character

8. Cafe Nearl

No.
