When a character's wrists cross directly over each other.

It can be seen sometimes with [[x arms]] - a Japanese gesture where a character signs 'x' with their wrists by overlapping them, and having them angled in a slanted manner to form an X.

Characters may also do it to shield themselves, as a form of self defense.

The gesture may also be found in some [[mudra]]s (gestures from Hinduism and Buddhism).
