I do believe that a shield maiden is deeper than simply protecting one particular charge. Also the first AC would (or should) be a deflection bonus instead of dodge. A couple of the abilities are basically bonus feats and a couple could be rolled into one ability that progresses as the character advances. The increased shield damage to me seems out of place. Also the main function of a shield maiden is not touched upon. A shield maiden is a female who has earned the right,  through skill and loyalty, to fight along side men in the main defensive function, the shield wall. Perhaps a synergistic bonus to both companions AC with shield's being used in tandem together. With a companion on either side this could be increased further (for both).Just my opinion but I'm sure I would allow such a class (with relatively minor revisions) into one of my campaigns (in fact I may play test it).  I will update you after experimentation. Also I agree with most of the constructive criticism you have received so far, I think instead of occupying the same 5 foot area, you could exchange places with your charge as a free action (would make miniature use alot easier.</blockquote>
