Description
These versions lack the full details, color, or proper proportions (something i only discovered the other day, when i drew Jezz to scale next to Max

But it's a classroom doodle, what do you expect.

the head has two small, pure black eyes, place near the front, but still angled on the face, allowing for a very wide range of sight. They are protected with special biological lenses, which exceed the size of the eye, because the lens is also capable of changing a bit to account for distance and luminosity.

The two functions of the nose are split up: there is one facial respiratory tract, which leads to a heart-like organ which pumps and compresses air into the single, bone reinforced, tank-like lung. (there's a secondary valve for expulsing air, because the heart-like organ is kinda unidirectional). When digging, the opening for this seals up.

For the sense of smell, from a little mound in the forehead, something somewhat akin to an antenna can unfurl to test the air (this way, there's no accidental ingestion of toxic or harmful gases. this way, you can also have a much larger sensorial surface, not limited to the size or shape of the respiratory tract, like humans.

the mouth has a row of sharp teeth, followed by a bony plate on top and bottom, with a small, round tongue extending from the back of the mouth (it has to retract to avoid being crushed by the teeth)

around the mouth are several whiskers/quills. the body is covered in similar ones, forming a sort of hair/mane behind her head and down her back, and the quills also stick up at specific locations over the body, namely where armor is lacking. All these quills are capable of bio luminescence and mildly sensing the air around it for air movement or other stuff.

The mouth also features a fold of armor/skin which reaches up to cover the mouth to protect from damaging external particles. (i.e. gas and debris)

The armor, which is not ornate (meaning it features several plain expanses, but it has sophisticated jointwork, with interesting designs around the edges of stuff, with most of the "beauty" being from how the joints interact. As previously stated, some joints feature quills sticking out and a number of them are backlight with bioluminescence

Her arms have four digging claws; one massive one, which usually rests back towards her elbow, and can spring forward; this massive claw can be used for a number of things, as its use relies upon the swinging motion of the arm.

The three others go in and out of their sheaths at speeds akin to a hummingbird's wingbeat. that is to say, insanely fast. a large series of muscles powers these three claws, allowing them to cut through stone with relative ease. When they retreat into the sheath, they are sharpened. the claws continually grow much like the teeth of rodents. therefore if they aren't used or filed down appropriately, they become painfully large and either unable to retract or to be unsheathed.

These two sets of claws are replaced by lasers on the Terramatrix, which still features piston power for a punch to reduce boulders to rubble.

She has relatively short legs, but which themselves remain muscular.

She has two "tails" protruding from her middle back/sides; these allow balance, as well as additional digging power, because they can either clear away debris from in front of her, or they can swing their sickle-like ends to chip away stone.

The armor on her back allows her to curl into a ball, sticking her quills outward, like a combo armadillo/porcupine

For digging dirt, her species simply uses their hands and tails to clear it away. no special tricks for that

The Terramatrix has a colour/pattern of blueish granite, with yellow accents

Her armor is coloured with a sandy palette

Jezz stands at 7 feet tall, making her among the tallest of the Wielders, but not the tallest. She is a slightly below average height for her species (who's height can range from 6 to 9 feet tall, with an average around 7.5 feet) and she is significantly less bulky than her peers. (although without another member of her species to compare with, it's hard to tell given her stature)
