Age: 17
Species and Gender: Female Honsu Wolf Faunus

Occupation: First Year Beacon Student/ Part-time Blacksmith
Appearance: Uila is about 5'4" with a small, wiry frame. She has sharp, piercing green eyes set above a small, pert nose and large, firm lips set in a permanent scowl. She has mocha skin and long, straight black hair that reaches to her lower back kept in an immaculate braid. On the top of her head is a set of black wolf's ears. She dresses in a navy blue t-shirt covered by black robes with a long, layered lower section, a wide hood and a bandolier of throwing knives looped over her shoulder with a similar one circling her waist. Under the robes she wears sturdy, black combat pants tucked into a pair of knee-high, dark blue leather boots.
History: Uila Kahekili was born in a small village in Menagerie to one of the village elders and her husband. This small village had spent over a decades apart from the rest of the kingdoms, preferring to stay with other Faunus groups. Aware of the fact that they could be attacked at any time by Grimm or humans, the village created and perfected its own style of ninjustu that specialized in maximizing the potency of one's semblance. Each child born in the village was expected to take up this training from the moment they could walk and talk. Children only received their names after their semblance manifested and would be named after their semblance. Uila took well to the training and had a natural thirst for knowledge. Long after others would stop practicing for the day, she would continue until she felt satisfied with her progress. When she was 10, her semblance was finally made known after she had climbed a nearby cliff during a thunderstorm and got struck by lightning without getting harmed in any way. The overcharge was too much for her to handle at the time and she crash landed into a nearby house in a clap of thunder. Hence her name translating to Lightning and Thunder. As she got older, she learned more and more about her semblance and designed and perfected her own unique fighting style to match her abilities. As she reached the age of 16, she and three others was tasked by the village elders with discovering as much about threats to her village by attending the Academies in different lands. Giving her a commendation letter and some necessary supplies, she applied to Beacon. Four weeks she travelled across the land with the others in her village, eventually splitting up to reach their own destinations. Using only her skills and get wits, she managed to survive the daunting travel between Menagerie and Vale. After finally arriving at Beacon, she passed the entrance exam with flying colors in both categories.
Personality: Uila is a calm, level-headed person who pursues logic with unbridled determination. She very staunchly follows the rules if she believes they are logical. She is a know-it-all and is the first person to answer a question and the first to finish an assignment. She doesn't have much of a sense of humor and rarely cracks a smile. In a fight, she calmly analyzes the situation and dispatches her enemies swiftly and ruthlessly. She works well in a team situation, but excels in 1 on 1 combat due to her semblance being somewhat unwieldy and potentially dangerous to others.
Aura and Semblance: Uila's aura is a bright, electric blue and her semblance is called Thunderstrike. Her semblance allows her to temporarily coat her body in pure lightning. While in this form she can toss lightning like a projectile, discharge electricity from her body, and change her charge to attract electricity towards her. The longer she's in that form, the more aura is drains. Due to her semblance, most amounts of electricity do not harm her, including natural lightning bolts, but instead make her temporarily more powerful at the expense of a heavier aura drain. Transforming also has an aura cost with it, around 5% of her aura, with it draining 5% every second. Because of the immense speed and unreliability of lightning, Uila has to be extremely careful how she throws lightning when fighting with others. Due to her semblance, Uila can sense large sources of electricity and can short out most electronics if she's not careful.
Combat Behavior: Uila analyzes her opponents for their weaknesses and strengths before engaging in combat. She will try to avoid fights she doesn't think she can win unless she is enraged. Uila uses an array of throwing knives and razor-thin wire in combat. The wire and throwing weapons are made of a highly conductive metal, allowing her to travel along and to them easily in her lightning form. She uses the throwing knives to jump from place to place, or to tag an enemy so that she can hit them with lightning. The wires can be attached to the throwing knives, allowing her to redirect them mid-flight or to set up traps for her enemies. Once a fight starts, Uila does not hold back and will try to crush her enemies before they have time to plan against her weapons and semblance. Due to her intensive training for over a decade, she is well versed in hand to hand combat along with having amazing accuracy with throwing weapons. Uila does not have any practical dust training due to how expensive it was and a lack of availability in Menagerie. She finds firearms to be unreliable and because of that, her range is much more limited than a standard fighter. Uila is incredibly difficult to enrage, but should it happen, she ditches all strategy for an all out offense that does devastating damage but drains her aura completely to the point of paying unconscious and doing serious damage to her brain, nerves and muscles. It takes weeks for her to recover and during that period her immunity to electricity is gone and she is unable to use her semblance.
