[Request] Add Shield Icon on top of char gfx during battle

I'm using Yanfly Engine Melody's Battle Engine set to Side view.

What I want is to add the character's shield icon on top of any character's graphic with a shield equipped. I want this to stay on the characters the whole battle even as they run up and attack.
Also if they us a skill where they attack with shield instead of weapon (exp. skill name: Shield Bash). In which case the icon would thrust, down swing, up swing, or shoot and then reset back to the middle of actors' graphic.
