Name: Gwyneira Grisial
Nicknames: Gwyn, Eira, Gigi
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Race: Faunus
Appearance: Short in stature, she barely reaches five feet in height which causes her weapon to tower over her by a foot in its full length. Gwyneira has a beige, heart shaped face sepulchered in colorless locks. Choppy bangs halt just above two spheres of amber. Cream fur covers two lamb ears on either side of her visage, and is soft like downy. Unlike some Faunus, Gwyneira does not have a second set of ears. She is not ashamed of her race and does little to hide what she is. Stifling her hearing also seems like it would only hinder her as a Huntress. Bronze twin horns spiral from the top of her head and around her ears.
In her battle attire, she wears simple flat soled boots that are cobalt toned. Ivory leggings are adorned underneath with a battle skirt adorned over accompanied by a matching vest with her tail poking out of the back of it. The color of her clothing is just a shade lighter than her boots with a shirt that matches her leggings in color. The vest is clasped shut with a button shaped like the chakram of her weapon and the design can also be seen embroidered on her back.
Personality: Easily distracted unless something interests her, but has incredible resolve and focus when she puts her mind to something. She is thick skinned when others try to rattle her, but is quick to anger when it comes to those she cares. She is usually unabashed and isn't afraid to speak her mind, sometimes overstepping her bounds when she should be silent and obedient. This has resulted in her seeming almost intimidating at times when she is typically effervescent and amiable.
Likes: Games, challenges, making friends.
Dislikes: Bullying, hiding that she is a Faunus, people who don't know how to have fun, people who are judgmental or manipulative.
Strengths: Able to shift between close range and far range in combat, quick learner,
Weaknesses: Her field of vision limits her Semblance, not always as cooperative as she should be.
Weapon: Gwyneira's weapon of choice is initially similar to a halberd. “Rhewlif” features a large chakram with two crescent shaped axe blades on either side of the weapon. The tip of the weapon is affixed with a dagger like blade. The pole adjusts in length, folding together. The length varies between three feet and six feet. The pommel of the weapon has a lid that is opened to feed Dust inside of with properties akin to frost.
A meter and a dial are used to accommodate the distance between herself and her target. The former works similar to a gas gauge and allows her to quickly see how much Dust her weapon has in reserves. The dial allows her to adjust how long her weapon is and allows her to power the axe blade to serve as a boomerang. Moreover, Gwyneira can wield the chakram alone by adjusting the dial on her weapon.
Semblance: Dichotomy – This ability allows Gwyneira to completely replicate a second object. She is able to use the ability in quick succession, but the object must first be in a direct line of site. The number of items she is able to multiply is limited by the properties of the object she is replicating. Larger objects and objects with a higher density use up more of her aura. Fast projectiles, such as bullets, that move too quick for her to see are near impossible for her to create more than one of. Additionally, the behavior of the object or person that she copies can be controlled by her.
People clones created by her would immediately dissipate and vanish, and not be able to deal damage in the same way objects could.
The ability comes with consequences where size, density, and number of clones would require different amounts of aura and focus. If she were to control the puppets, it would require her attention to be alerted to them. Essentially her manipulating them would make it more difficult for her to fight in battle, possibly to the point that she wouldn't be able to physically defend herself against an assault without getting rid of the clones.
History: Throughout the majority of her life, Gwyneira was raised within a clan of other Faunus. Her parents told her stories about how Humans and Faunus didn't always see eye to eye, and often let their differences get in the way. However, she was naive and chose discard the idea of disharmony between the two races.
Initially having little interest in the Hunters, she attended Signal academy with her childhood friend because she didn't want to be left behind. Through attending Signal, she was subject to bullying by some of the other Humans who treated her like she didn't belong. Her childhood friend denied any instances of bullying on his part which encouraged her to work harder until she was one of the top students in her class. Still, the bullying by the other Humans continued. Her friend dropped out of Signal Academy, refusing to tell her the details of his decision.
Gwyneira chose to persist and applied to Beacon, taking with her a stronger personality that sometimes seems a little excessive.
