Shyam's Back Brace (Patreon)

I decided that there's no way Shyam's hyperflexible noodle spine doesn't cause her issues under gravity, so I made a back brace for her to wear while she's working or doing a lot of walking. This normally goes under her clothes and it passively supports her upper body weight through compression and a vertically rigid but horizontally flexible hydraulic pocket fabric. The latter concept and sketch is courtesy of Sevoris from the ToughSF discord server.

Shyam's neck attaches further back on her skull than a typ human's, which makes the back of her head appear weirdly flat.
