Paladin, Shield Tank (race: Human) - Angel

Sword-and-board variant of the Demon Smiter (user, 2026-10-10): a Falcata in one hand through Exotic Weapon Proficiency and a Heavy Steel Shield +X on the same plate line, with Mythic Armor Focus (Medium) - Endurance, plus Dodge and Crane Style (DEX 13, like Seelah) so it fights defensively at -2. Trades the Fauchard's two-handed damage for AC.
