CHARACTER
Name: Violetta Leone
Age: 18 (DOB: 12th of Machlud, 62 AC)
Species and Gender: Human Female
Symbol:
Occupation: Student at Beacon Academy (1st year)
Appearance: 5'7" (170 cm), 132 lbs. (59.8 kg). She has a pretty average build that is neither frail looking nor muscular. The only thing remarkable about her body is her wide hips and a bubble butt that she is self-conscious of. She has long silver hair with an almost metallic shine that hangs past her shoulders and part way down her back. Her eyes are a deep violet color in which her name was derived from. Violetta's skin is such a pale white that she gives off an ethereal, almost transparent vibe. People have always joked that it seemed like she was slowly disappearing from the world. Her style of dress is usually casual. She can mostly be seen wearing a standard white blouse, purple skirt, and either white or black heels. Her combat attire consists of a black leather body suit, black combat boots, and a purple cloak.
History: Violetta was born and raised in the Mistrel city of Windpath. She was the only child of a traveling merchant and a huntress. Growing up, her father used to love telling her the story about when her mother saved his life. Apparently, his caravan had been attacked by grimm somewhere outside the city when a lone huntress swooped in and saved the day. It was how her parents met. Her mother used to roll her eyes whenever he told the story with the usual embellishments.
Life growing up wasn't always easy. The business of a small fledgling trader wasn't always profitable and being a huntress wasn't exactly a reliable source of income. Sure some people offered what little lien they could scrounge up to have some grimm cleared out. For the most part though it was usually 'go here, clear out monsters, go home' with nothing to show for it. Violetta also struggled dealing with the prolonged absences of her mom. A child doesn't understand that being a huntress takes precedence over all things including family. Sometimes her mother would return and while Violetta was relieved to see her, part of her also felt resentment.
Not long after she turned 12, Violetta's father had decided to take a chance and move to Vale. His sales had been trending downward for quite some time and he figured there would be a better market for various items in another kingdom. Violetta left with him, of course. She had no real attachments to Mistrel, having never really formed any sort of meaningful friendships or interactions with others. Her mother had no objections since she was originally from Vale to begin with but she would stay behind in Mistrel for a time. Violetta spent most of her time either helping out her dad or reading books. She really had no interest in fighting or becoming a huntress like her mom.
Two years later everything was as it should have been. Violetta was at home reading a good book while her father was making a sales run to one of the villages along the coast. Except this time he didn't come home. She was old enough by this point to realize the harshness of Remnant and what little hope she had slipped away with each day that he remained absent. Word didn't come until nearly a week later that her father had indeed been killed by grimm. There was no huntress to save him this time. When her mother found out, she came to Vale as fast as she could. Knowing that she would not be able to take care of her daughter, she decided to train her briefly before sending her to Signal Academy.
Violetta's four years at Signal were rather uneventful. She just did what was necessary and not much else. She was a year older than most of her fellow classmates because she didn't enroll until late. When it came time to decide if she would continue on to Beacon, she opted to move forward on her path. She enters Beacon Academy not much different than when she started Signal. No meaningful relationships or friends of any sort.
Personality: Violetta is a rather withdrawn person. While she isn't outright antisocial, she doesn't seek out interactions. Instead she sort of just fades into the background of her surroundings. It's almost as if she is invisible at times which is ironic given her semblance. She won't ignore those who approach her and she is actually a witty and civil person. She is just so used to doing her own thing and being largely ignored or forgotten that she rarely expresses herself. It might be fair to call her more of an intellectual rather than a warrior. She graded out near the top of her class at Signal in Academics but was barely above average in Combat Score.
Aura and Semblance: Violetta's aura is mainly used to shield herself and absorb damage. It takes on a noticeable purple hue when activated. While she may be able to use it in other ways, at her current skill level it's not possible as of yet.
Violetta's semblance is 'cloaking'. When activated she can turn invisible for a brief period of time. The longest she has been able to remain cloaked is 30 seconds while remaining completely still and even then by the 25 second mark a vague outline of her could be seen. Moving around (walking, running, fighting etc.) while cloaked rapidly decreases that time as it stresses the aura to continuously refract or reflect light and take into account the changing surroundings to maintain the effect. She also possesses the ability to cloak a single ally but at her current skill level she can only hold it for 5 seconds at best.
One thing unique about her is she has passive infrared vision. Meaning it costs nothing in terms of aura for her to see the heat signatures of nearby objects or people (even through walls). If it has a heat signature, she can see it. The range is roughly half of her visibility. If she can see 500 yards away, she'll only be able to see heat signatures up to 250 yards and the more obstructions in her way (walls, buildings etc.) the less she can see. Objects or people that utilize or infuse ice dust as cooling agents are largely obscured from her. A major drawback to this ability is that her eyes are extremely sensitive. Bright flashes, lights or direct sunlight can temporarily blind her. Similarly, anything with an intense heat signature will do the same (fire dust for example).
Combat Behavior: While combat has never been her particular strong suit, she is surprisingly calm and collected during an encounter. She prefers to keep her opponents outside of their range but close enough for her to reach with her glaive. If they are ranged fighters, her glaive can transform into a hunting rifle although it lacks a scope. She has to rely on an ironsight. The glaive can be retracted into a short sword for enemies who get inside of it's reach. Why did she forge a glaive? Partly because her mother uses a naginata and she trained briefly with it before enrolling at Signal. Violetta wanted her weapon to be different but still use the same principles such as utilizing the reach to her advantage. With her being taller than average, it only made sense to use something that would further augment her long arms.
