In Umbris Potestas Est
I have no picture of what the armor looks like aside from ones from a very recognizable game, since I can't find an image that looks like what I'm thinking of. I guess Dark Samus from Metroid Prime 2 is the closest thing to what I'm thinking of, with an obviously thicker waist and an eerie purple-red coloration. I haven't found any other image that adequately looks like what I've thought of.
Intent: To develop a proper suit of armor for Circe capable of giving her necessary protection with regards to extremely lethal hostile threats.

Manufacturer: Subach-Innes(technically, but personally constructed by Circe Savan)
Model: Powersuit
Affiliation: Circe Savan
Modularity: Yes
Production: Unique
Material: Beskar(from preexisting Mandalorian armor, entirety of the armor base), Purified Cortosis(dev thread done, thin external layer), Stygian-triprismatic polymer(shoulder pieces), Pontite-based Energy Crystals(power source), Diatium(circuitry and wiring), Armorweave(from preexisting Mandalorian armor, undersuit), Biofiber(arms and legs), Transparisteel(T-bar glass and HUD), Turadium(finger and toe claws)
Description: This suit of armor originally belonged to Mandalorian mercenary Yvorre Morcade, who was captured by Circe years ago and turned into the host of her experiments. Circe rarely wore the looted armor, but with her defeat at the hands of Rave Merrill, all her assets turned to making the beskar armor an absolute juggernaut, designed specifically as an armed powersuit to engage hostiles with. This powersuit would give Circe the edge she'd need against foes neither sorcery or overwhelming firepower could defeat.
The lowest layer of the suit is an armorweave body glove, and the armor plates themselves are comprised of beskar with a very thin outer layer of purified cortosis. This was twofold - to prevent the need to use full cortosis plates, which would be expensive, heavy, and would require reengineering of the entire armor, and to keep Circe safe from the lethal radiation given off by such pure cortosis. The armor is, thanks to the cortosis's purity, capable of deactivating a lightsaber on contact, but due to the thinness of the cortosis, the effect is minimal, lasting for around five to ten seconds before the lightsaber can quickly be turned back on. This is barely enough time for Circe to react considering she could simply be Force Pushed away, giving the saber user enough time to reactivate their weapon(roughly equivalent to two posts after the deactivation). The cortosis also does not effect non-energy weapons, and the beskar can still allow for Circe to be harmed thanks to blunt force trauma.
Inside the suit, a combination of medical-grade biofiber prosthetics and servos miniaturized and upgraded from the SIA-C Construction Exoskeleton allows for Circe to easily support her own weight and more, with reduced risk of suit damage due to electrical shock or EMP. However, while she can lift far more than she usually would be able to without the Force, she does not have any sort of jump enhancement, as such armor would be expected to give. As well, her mobility, while admittedly excellent, is still below that of an unarmored foe, allowing for her to be outmaneuvered. After all, it's not like she can curl into a ball or anything.
Armament for the suit is simple, with a Mist atomizing pistol fitted in the arm. Slightly modified from its standard form, this Mist fires solely charged shots at a reduced rate of fire compared to the normal one, but is far more durable, being comprised primarily from parts of the armor's components that weren't needed in the armor itself. While this gives Circe a lethal weapon where her right hand used to be, the removal of her prime hand makes it difficult for her to utilize her left hand to make up, turning her into, essentially, an amputee. The addition of turadium tipped claws to the tips of the armor's toes and hand allow for a secondary weapon to be used in case the gun was removed or damaged, but this would require Circe to get in close, something she wouldn't desire to do. Besides, she'd need claws for all fours to make like a nexu and climb up stuff with ease.
Speaking of amputee, one big flaw is the method in which Circe must get into the armor. She must either absorb the biomass of her arms and legs or cut them off, then use the Force to open up the chestplate and helmet so she can enter the armor, it closing on her as she grows small vines to let her directly interface with the suit itself, as though it were another part of her body. For her to regrow her limbs after escaping, however, is quite difficult, and while she can do it anywhere, she'll need significant water nearby to stop her from going into stasis soon afterwards. While the suit does have a cooling system, it has no medical system and no hydration system, becoming a pain in isolated or desert environments, making its use conditional to a degree. It does have a limited filtration system though, allowing Circe to survive toxic gas-filled environments for around a couple hours.
The power for the suit is provided by two fist-sized energy crystals. These energy crystals, one in each shoulder, require air rushing through their mount ports to keep their connections from overheating in humid or hot environments. Thus, the shoulder pieces are made solely of duraplast, specifically Stygian-triprismatic polymer, to allow for protection from typical blaster pistol shots. Intriguingly enough, though, the shoulders are the weakest part of the armor, containing the power sources of the entire suit and modestly exposed to the elements. A quick deductor would attempt to break them open and damage, destroy, or remove the two shoulder crystals, leaving Circe trapped in her suit. Otherwise, they would attempt to attack the T-bar, made of transparisteel and not resistant to lightsabers like the rest of the armor is.
While an impressive juggernaut-type armor, the suit has significant flaws, for both the occupant and the armor itself. No jump augmentation, modestly decreased agility, little accoutrements for the wearer, the requirement of limb removal before the armor is used, and semi-exposed power sources are issues the armor fails to address. While it fits Circe's style of combat, that style does indeed have holes in it. Not to mention the corruption...
