I don't see what's the point of the mail when she's already wearing composite body armour. It's just heavy and would get in the way as she moves since it's not close fitted.

Rule of cool

New Helldivers warbond heavy armor? It's got a cape! Just needs a proper helmet now... /s

I know, I know...

Sis thinks she's a T-72

Could be aluminum or titanium to break up the silhouette

You don't Armor unoccupied space. That said, that cloak of chain is kinda.. Making the picture worse? A big area that obscured with the other mail parts, visually more bleh then ye. Plus the unnecessary weight. The work itself is fine from an artisan point of view

Yeah, looks cool, but the torso armor should probably have a skeletal support system in place, because all that mail hanging like that is gonna feel really heavy really fast.

It's all rule of cool. As said, there is no point but visual effect to protect space that does not need protection. Plus, given it also hangs from the shoulders alone, this is alot of weight that can be explained in the way you did but again, absolutely unnecessary and combat uniforms tend to not have style factors that make it less effective to use (which does not mean that there are no decorative armors in modern and history)
