I guess the designers of this graphic had never heard the old riddle about blondes:
Q: How do you kill a blonde?
A: Put spikes on her shoulder pads.
This heroine's days are numbered.

Too funny.
(Totally missing the point here, of course, but it's amusing how those spikes originally did serve a purpose on armor, at least when they formed the haute-piece on a pauldron to protect the neck. Just another example of artists drawing something to make it look cool without having any clue about its original function.)
The only reason I know what a pauldron is is that I've read George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. Martin drops all sorts of archaic vocabulary into his saga; I know five or six different words for "horse" now—words like "palfrey"—thanks to Martin. That goes for pieces of armor, too.
I have yet to start reading Martin. I'm afraid he's never going to finish the series.
