In Phantasy Star II, there are two major styles of protective gear used in characters' hands. The female members of Rolf's party, with the exception of Nei, are able to use a small, lightweight style of shield called an emel. The weakest shield available in the game is the Carbon Emel, pictured in this manual illustration. It is unclear as to exactly how these would be used, but it might be worn on the back of the hand. A lady's thumb might poke through that hole, positioning the emel in a way that might allow it to protect the wrist from a strike. However, this would mean the digits on the hand are left exposed, which might be a problem in serious combat.
