Name: Amaranth "Amy" Desire
Age: 21.
Gender: Female
Race: Half-Faunus (Hawk)
Weapon: Her weapon is actually twofold, taking the shape of two lightweight but strong metal sleeves on her arms. The left arm has a few metal flaps that spring out of it, taking the form of a relatively large shield. When the shield is not in use, six rotating barrels can fold out of the sides, acting as a rapid fire gun. The right arm is considerably less fancy: its only feature is acting as a storage place for the spear that is collapsed inside it, and as a launcher for the spear’s secondary function. The spear itself is actually a specially designed chain with a strong cable running through the links. When fully retracted, the chain locks into the form of a spear. When loosened, the spear becomes a grappling hook.
Specialty: Amaranth’s specialty depends on her current load out. With the shield and spear activated, she’s more of a tank, capable of blocking damage while dishing it out. With only the spear, her fighting style shifts to a more acrobatic, lightweight form, mostly focused on dodging attacks rather than taking them.
Semblance: Amy's semblance is more derived from her heritage than anything else. When activated, her semblance heightens her senses, effectively slowing her perception of time, giving her better vision than her eyes would normally allow, and letting her hear with an unheard of level of detail. Pardon the pun.
Personality: Amy’s life has stripped her of any illusions regarding the nature of humanity and its conventions. She is brutally honest and to the point when around those she respects and trusts, but can be manipulative around those she does not. Her choice of clothes seems to be based more on an attitude of not caring than on any desire to irritate or attract. She has two major triggers, however: Stuck up rich kids, and people who make assumptions about her character based on her clothing.
Color: Amaranth. Duh.
Emblem: A straight line with a chain wrapping around it, on an reddish pink background.
Appearance:
Amaranth could be a very beautiful, delicate woman, and her face supports that fully. Her hair is a beautiful shade of red, reddish brown feathers interspersed in it, and her eyes are a slight shade of blue that contrasts extremely nicely with the crimson. Her nose is small, her cheekbones delicate, and her lips full, the slightest bit of freckles sprinkled across her nose.
Below the neck, however, is a different story. She always wears a collar around her neck in parody of her Faunus heritage, and she wears relatively immodest clothes when allowed to wear casual clothing with an attitude of obvious experience, taking full advantage of the more carnal aspect of her appearance at the cost of delicacy—and decency, according to the more conservative staff of the academy. A notable feature is the small, almost unnoticeable notch in her left ear, where a small piece of it looks as if it was cut out.
I swear that everything in here is justified in her backstory.
