Oh, and thunderstorms. █PERSONALITY TRAITS █Nature ▬ Nao is a complicated person in some ways, and also a simple one at other points. Caring and emotionally attached to those that matter to her, Nao's love and strife for promoting life can me surmised as a weakness, but her drive to help others is also one of her strongest qualities. She also has a 'strength' complex, in which she tries to hide her lack of pain tolerance and emotional delicateness with a false façade and often calm pretense. But aside from the fact that she tries to conceal her flaws, she is a girl who has an interesting past as a healer and entertainer of her people. Her experiences have made her strong and resilient, but she knows she can never fully change her nature, which is someone who is more inclined towards intellectual and spiritual matters rather than purely worldly pursuits. She tries to remedy her lack of physical prowess's by expressing herself artistically, which she has always leaned towards when it came to finding closure with her lackings. Despite the somewhat frail and delicate state of her nature on the outside, within she is an immense being of light and healing, trained from a very young age to hone her powers, which she often cannot control or contain and sometimes seems to have a mind of its own. She otherwise has a very serene and compassionate disposition, an image of grace and elegance to those who have looked up to her. █Vernacular ▬ Has a strange accent no one can really place, but its spoken style is reminiscent of the South American dialects. She rarely speaks, and even when she does, she is very soft-spoken and direct. █Positive Traits ▬ Is a very optimistic and bright-minded individual. Though she hates violence and war, she is knowledgeable enough to know that such things cannot be avoided. She is a very studious person in the ways of the world. She likes to expand her pool of knowledge, often thinking deeply on various matters that concern the world and the many problems that plague their surroundings. She is also very compassionate, usually feeling or showing sympathy and concern for others even when they don't deserve it. She is always worried about others well-being and tries to get to know everyone on sympathetic terms. █Negative Traits ▬ Nao easily gets attached to those she deems close to her, even those she gets mildly interested or curious with. She takes the personal losses of those around her as her own as well, and often takes things to heart empathically, even when the words spoken to her may or may not be true. Her profoundly sensitive personality can be used against her easily, and without proper guidance or someone to look out for her, this could become a problem.
█ █ ╫ H I S T O R Y ╫
█BACKGROUND ▬ Nao was born at the forests of the Rhopalocera tribe's territory just like everyone else who belonged there, but gravitated towards the healer's section despite being female. There, she became a special case where she would become a female healer, which was quite an unusual sight in her people's eyes. Although she is a warrior in her silently optimistic ways, just not in a traditional sense because she chose to be a healer and not exactly a fighter, she was often considered the oddball or the black sheep by everyone. This was highly unusual as it was usually the men who was centered on such matters, but was inspired by her father, who happened to also be a notable healer during his time. Their training had always been barred by outsiders; how they did it was much an open subject of debate and curiosity to scholars and enthusiasts alike due to the fact that they almost never revealed this secret part of their life to those who were not part of the tribe. One day she ventured deeper into the forests while following the great river and came upon a lake basin nestled deep in the mountains at the end of the water's system. Ever seeking to get away from the noise of those around her, Nao often ventured to this great body of water away from her tribe's boundaries, as she considered it her sacred space. There on the gravelly shores of the lake, Nao trained from a young age to call to the spirit of the water's edge, and to harness the healing aura within her body. Though many butterflies were born during their time, most of her peers lacked the tenacity to change and continuously develop like she did. Her determination grew with time, and only if she worked hard to shift the great bodies of energy within herself, because all life was derived from water, and this combination of her aura and the coming of the waves on the lakeshore helped to shift her inner growth as a person.
She would teach herself her specialty, and that was to think with constant clarity and be able to apply different ways to use and harness these abilities. Nao created her own branch of healing in which she infused her aura into the surrounding water, controlling and shaping it in various uses and functions according to her creative will. After a few years of training privately in solitude, she was permitted to go to the main, dense forest area twice every week and interreact with the trees of the forests of their territory. There, she took up an early fascination for the career of entertainment and show. She developed a love for expressing herself through singing and dancing due to her friend's encouragement, for she was a great singer and her movements had an almost hypnotic quality to it; though this did not quell her thirst for knowledge of the world outside of their protective nook. Strangely enough at some point, she combined her talents on the stage with her water healing abilities, creating her own unique style of fighting and healing. What's even stranger is that she did not develop this technique based on her own ideas. Once a year they would travel to the cultural hub where they would watch her people dancing, and her favorite dances were the ones that involved fans. When a butterfly exhibition showcased Tessen fighting as an extra tidbit, she became inspired and made up her mind to integrate such a style into her way of life. When she came home that night on the their first trip to the center, she began practicing with a cheap fan the art of Fan Dancing. On that night, she just decided to pickup her fan and have some fun. Every night since then, she would practice and develop her sweeping and dabbing movements until she exhausted herself, earning her the label of being a hard worker despite the trials that had been laid out for her, which gave her titles and accomplishments.
In a way, this paved the way for her to become a pioneer in how water was to be used and controlled. Many years after of both perfecting her arts and troublesomely passing the staple series of trials in which their young ones must undertake before they reached maturity to be part of the tribe, where the right of passage is to survive a night in the forest alone, and return to the tribe next morning, Nao performed well and with highly decent marks. One day on a cheerful, moon-bathed evening, she was chosen to go to Beacon when she hit the right age. The next morning, after being given a map, some supplies, some paper items that were called 'currency' (she took one out of the bundle, giving it strange looks after feeling the rough paper on her hands) and a general direction on where to go, she took off, traveling for several days and nights over vast barren wetlands and huge empty green lands, while dodging traveling enemy factions of moths, not to mention passing by the occasional hoard of Grimm without aggravating them further into a fatal attack. She took turns flying and camping on the ground, making sure she received enough sustenance for her ongoing travels. While cresting some stormy mountainsides and after being a long, long way from home, she first got a glimpse of the huge city that was Vale; skyscrapers and roads stretching as far as the eye can see! Her eyes widened with astonishment at the scene. As she flew closer, the scale of everything became clear. She didn't lower herself until after several hours of flying through the city, over electric cables which she was afraid of since it buzzed with feral energy, as well as noisy cars which alerted her to the hidden mechanism within which reminded her of Grimm, she began to look closer on the ground and notice the various people who were outside. There, after flying over the city and drawing plenty of attention, she saw the many forms life took, and was fascinated by them all.
This was the start of her newfound curiosity with everything; how they worked, how it grew and how it was done. She eventually flew down into a green park and asked some directions of where the alleged school was. She asked a human and a passing cat faunus where Beacon Academy was, and after seeing them point to the huge castle in the distance, all the while flying away hearing about their comments on what she was wearing fading into the distance, she came upon an antique shop that had interesting looking things in them. She was drawn to the clocks and the tool-like items on the shelves. The woman at the old-fashion cash register remarked, "Oh! A butterfly faunus wearing tribal markings and clothing. We don't see many of you coming in, what a rare sight!" To this Nao was puzzled, but indicated at what she was wearing with some sweeping motion of her hands. The clerk took out a dollar from the lumpy cash register and showed her what she wanted from her. Nao nodded to indicate that she understood, and then the woman pointed at a section for clothes. Nao came out of the store wearing a lolita outfit garbed in blue, as well as a basic backpack made from hemp. She stuffed her tribal clothes and newfound tools in there and paid the lady 250 in cash, and was on her way to the castle mounted on the hills. And so begins her journey to a world her kind rarely saw, and took a liking to lolita fashion at that on her way to the school. This broke down all previous notes on how her people dressed, for they almost never took on fashion that wasn't from their native home, but for Nao this was fitting, because she had always did her best to blend in, and she was indeed far away from home. Everyone around her already dressed in very odd ways, so she figured her choice of appearance wasn't too unusual to begin with.
█ █ ╫ I N V E N T O R Y ╫
█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Kokoro no Obuzashī (Heart of the Sea) █ ▬ A Tessen war fan; (Japanese: 鉄扇,てっせん, romanized: tessen, lit. '"iron fan"') Size = 30cm (11.8") is a weaponized Japanese hand fan designed for use in warfare. It is a deep ashen black in color, and has the silhouette mark of a blue butterfly imprinted on the fan.
(The symbol on her fan.) █Melee Form ▬ Her weapon is basically just an metallic fan, but when used with sophistication and precision, it can be used efficiently with the fighting technique of Tessenjutsu. █Ranged Form ▬ Can be accurately tossed while enclosed on a target. The throwing range would be a good 20 meters. Also has a chord that looks like a ribbon attached to it so that it can be pulled back into her hand while still coated with her aura. █Other Form(s) ▬ None █Ammo Type ▬ Aura █ ▬ She can trap dust inside the water bubbles to transport and activate the effects of it from a recommendable distance. However, if not careful, this could easily backfire if the bubble is broken, or if it is activated at a close enough range, it could prove to possibly harm her instead.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Uses acupuncture needles as sub-weapons. These are used as her long-range weapon coverage, and are a solid 4 inches in length for tougher targets. █ ▬ Carries a colorfully decorated butterfly knife on specific occasions, such as missions. It is approximately 9.5cm big. █ ▬ Carries a handy Swiss Army Knife wherever she goes. It is approximately 3.3 inches in length. █ ▬ Sealed Rubber Gourde filled with 1-liter of Water █ITEMS █ ▬ Scroll █ ▬ Some spare rubber corks for her Gourde. █ ▬ Leather strap with pockets that holds the main water container in place. It holds the Gourde and has 2 pockets with buttoned flaps on them.
█ █ ╫ S E M B L A N C E ╫
█*NAME ▬ Flow of Starlette Sea █*AURA COLOR ▬ Sapphire Blue █*DESCRIPTION Her semblance basically centers on water manipulation. She infuses some of her aura in the water, allowing her to shape it, keep it afloat, and use her weapon to create a spanned flow of trajectory. Once the water is in contact with someone, that person will start to absorb the aura inside of it (lets say it takes a post from when the water is in contact with someone to when its finally dry of aura), in which the aura is enough for the person to heal both major and minor wounds and injuries with it. She can even curve around the direction of the water around her. Her water manipulation abilities also extend to various other capabilities, in which it mostly centers around healing and protection. █ ▬ Her semblance is very straightforward in its function, allowing her to create or shape any (preferably sanitary) large body of water, merge her aura with it, and heal anyone who comes into contact with it. She does this by being able to keep the aura-infused water within her mind's control, gaining the ability of movement with the floating liquid using her aura and her glowing hands, in which this is where she mainly uses the substance as a channeling method with her aura. However, her aura can extend throughout her body and allow her to heal injuries and boost her own capabilities to an extent. █*LEVEL 0 ▬ Unlocks:Water Healing - Nao has the ability to shoot water droplets and spheres from a radius distance of 10-15 meters, depending on her focus. ○ This water can cleanse, purify, renew and change various physical and spiritual compositions it comes into contact with, including multiple types of injuries, ailments and wounds. ○ The main healing properties comes from the wounds absorbing the healing aura to stimulate the cells to rebuild, which is transported through the water. *NOTE: She can use her weapon to heighten her water-shaping capabilities. (0-99 posts) █*LEVEL 1▬ Unlocks: Water Detox - She can also take the water infused with her aura particles to detoxify her target, removing most forms of poisons and duration-based negative effects. ○ She can heal most forms of poison and quell other invasive bacterial growths. ○ The water can only penetrate a certain degree of a person's body parts, unless the surface is temporarily pierced in order for the water to reach beneath the intramuscular system. In which case, she uses her acupuncture needles to do this, while still being able to slip in the water for healing by coating the needle with water. (100-199 posts) █*LEVEL 2▬ Unlocks: Water Barrier - Allows her to cast a glowing shield made out of water. She projects her aura in a circular shape at the same time the water is dispersed, which projects a smooth and slightly flexible shield held together by the water. ○ This shield can protect against blasts and projectiles to an extent, but cannot hold against a straightforward and powerful blow. And it essentially toughens her aura shield. ○ She can also revert this shield beneath her, making her capable of walking on relatively still surfaces of water. (200-299 posts) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ Unlocks:Water Field - Nao creates a water shield around her that is shaped like a capsule. Within this capsule she is able to store 1 non-damaging bundle of aura which is filled with her energies inside. ○ The Capsule would follow Nao until it becomes over-saturated with aura or the surface is damaged by something. It will basically function as a stronger version of her previous shield until disturbed. ○ Once the bubble-capsule pops it creates a 3m radius healing 'field' which then adopts the properties of the aura trapped inside to help herself and teammates by producing a shockwave which damages foes prior to the healing effect upon impact. (300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ ‣ Her ability has an odd effect on anyone who gets too addicted to her aura. Her aura also has a distinct and soothing draw to it to anyone who is within her presence, which may or may not attract desirable individuals at times. ‣ If directly damaged physically, Nao can be easily incapacitated due to her thin frame. Its just he way she's built, she cannot take heavy amounts of damage without having to heal herself to an extent. And even then, the pain will often be too much for her to heal copious amounts of damage. It would be, of course, impossible to recover from her injury if she is unconscious. ‣ Naoko is usually full of aura energy and she rarely runs out since she knows how to pace herself, but on the event that she does spend too much aura, she could grow very faint and be unable to focus. ‣ Her aura centers around water, so she is extremely vulnerable to lighting or electricity-based semblances or environments. She is especially frightful of thunderstorms, because not only does she hate the sound of them, but she often becomes too scared to do any water manipulation in fear of being struck by the energy current. ‣ She has reduced mobility when preparing the capsule of the last semblance, making herself vulnerable during the first stages of the technique. ‣ Her hair is extremely prone to static.

█ █ ╫ H I S T O R Y ╫
█BACKGROUND ▬ Nao was born at the forests of the Rhopalocera tribe's territory just like everyone else, but was called to the healer's section despite being female. There, she joined a special squad that centered on water-based semblances. Like all of those of her kind, she was trained at a young age to be a warrior, but simply following the customs of her people where they respect all life, Nao took to healing as a means to avoid conflict and to preserve her beliefs and ideologies. This was highly unusual as it was usually the men who was centered on such matters, but was inspired by her father, who happened to also be a notable healer during his time. Many like her were raised to use specific techniques that basically involved the moon's tide. Though how they did it was much an open subject of debate and curiosity to scholars and enthusiasts alike due to the fact that they almost never revealed this part of their life to outsiders. There on the island, Nao was trained since birth to call to the spirit of the ocean, and to harness the healing aura within their special sect. Many were born like her, yet most of her peers lacked the tenacity to change and continuously develop like she did. Their sect grew with time, and only if they worked hard to shift the ocean within themselves, because all life was derived from water, and this combination of their aura plus the soothing yet dualistic nature of the waves and the moon was what they drew their power from. They would be taught their specialty, and that was to think and be able to apply different ways to use and harness this hidden power. Here, Nao created her own branch of healing in which she infused her aura into the surrounding water, controlling and shaping it in various uses and functions according to her creative will.
After a few years of training they were permitted to go to the main forest twice every week and interreact with the trees of the forests of their territory. There, she took up an early fascination for the career of entertainment and show. She developed a love for expressing herself through singing and dancing due to her friend's encouragement, for she was a great singer and her movements had an almost hypnotic quality to it; though this did not quell her thirst for knowledge of the world outside of their protective nook. Strangely enough at some point, she combined her talents on the stage with her water healing abilities, creating her own unique style of fighting and healing.

Every night since then, she would practice and develop her sweeping and dabbing movements until she exhausted herself, earning her the label of being a hard worker despite the early minority of her kind's size, titles and accomplishments. In a way, this paved the way for her to become a pioneer in how water was to be used and manipulated.
Many years after moving to the separate area, they were soon permitted to return, and after many moons of perfecting her arts and flawlessly passing the staple trial in which their women must undertake before they reached maturity, Nao performed at the Fairy Festival hosted by a mysterious benefactor, who also worked at the Foreign Relations office that helped governed the relations of the tribe, only a few months after their boarder was opened to outsiders. There, they competed for the honor of going far away to Beacon, in which the sole winner would be granted a scholarship to attend there till they graduate. This was conducted during a time when her tribe faced challenges and alleges that they could be wiped out if they didn't send students to the school for training. In exchange for solidarity with new students, the government would help ensure the survivability of her people and therefore the protection of the whole tribe. They were, after all, a unique peoples who's way of life must be saved and preserved. With her hard working ways she was ready to accept the results. It was enough to grant her ownership of her skills, and accomplished just enough to get her there, up until the very moment in which her final test was to be unfolded. She does of course practice appreciation for her talent in all its subtleties. During the competition, many were anticipating her win, yet there were an equal amount which deemed her lesser than them and preferred to see her fail.
Without much effort, Nao managed to win the competition where it involved a showcase of talents, and with high spirits, packed her things and was off on her journey to Beacon a week after winning at the festival. After saying goodbye to her friends and family, she travelled to the mainland and took several methods of travel before she finally got to the alleged school. There she saw the many forms life took, and was fascinated by them all. This was the start of her newfound curiosity with everything; how they worked, how it grew and how it was done. And so begins her journey to a world her kind rarely saw, and took a liking to lolita fashion at that on her way to the new world. This broke down all previous notes on how her people dressed, for they almost never took on fashion that wasn't from their native home, but for Nao this was fitting, because she had always broken barriers, and on impulse knew that this was one rule she did not mind breaking.

(200-299 posts) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ Unlocks:Water Rebound She gains an extra instinct sense, which allows her to have better reflexes, more accurate fighting stance and quicker reaction time when it comes to overall movement and fighting, and is basically and strictly a self-buff. She allows the aura to radiate throughout herself, which is somehow tied to the water in her own body, and gives her better and faster running, jumping, precision and strike speed. This has an after-effect of making her glow a pure and white aura. (300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ Her ability has an odd effect on anyone who gets too addicted to her aura.

❖❖❖Assessment❖❖❖ Allo there! My name is KnightsRoyal, and I'll be judging your awesome profile tonight!
After discussing things with the elder gods, we have all come to the conclusion. This is your First Judgement Via the entity: Dane. Inquisitive Asks/Statements: ----
Changes Needed: ❖ Faction needs to be listed as Independent (Tribe Name). ❖ Healthy weight for a 5'3" female is between 104-127 lbs ❖ Wings cannot up and vanish, they need to maintain presence as you are a faunus, but you are able to hide them under the covers of a cape or a cloak. ❖ Primary Talent: Water Transformation needs to be included in semblance, not as a talent. Remove that part please. Be mindful that if you keep Healing and Tessenjutsu together, they will be a compound skill and weaker than someone who uses the talent for one of them. ❖ Reflective Learner description does not match the talent name. Either change the talent name to fit the description more or change the description. ❖ Caring and Emotionally attached is not a skill, it's a personality quirk. Needs to be replaced. ❖ Tessen War Fan lacks an effective throwing range so it needs one. ❖ A friendly reminder that while you may have the ONE War fan, you'll need a way to retrieve said fan if you throw it as fans are not boomerangs. As a balancer myself, I recommend a ribbon attachment to the base of your fan for you to grab. Extends combat style and a safe way to keep the fan coated in aura. ❖ Acupuncture needles need a listed length, and an effective throwing range with them. ❖ Ammo: [Aura] how is the fan able to use aura as a means of ammunition? Can it use dust as well? If so how can it use dust? ❖ Flashbangs and Tear Gas both are complex weapons, which is against the Butterfly tribe's way of living so you are not able to have these.

█ █ ╫ A R C H E T Y P E ╫
█NATURAL ABILITIES █Primary Talent ▬ Aerial Battling is something she is remarkably adept with, enabling her to zoom around at surprising speeds and engage with opponents mid-air during flight. It is even more advantageous if she fights over large bodies of water, as it gives her plenty of water to control. █Faunus Trait/Bonus Talent ▬ Flying Using her Wings █Other Talents ▬ Tool Manipulation - Is good at working with weapons and other knick-knack tools, and is considered a feasible handy-woman. Reflective Learner - Being a reflective learner involves making your learning a more conscious process. It helps you to become an active learner by asking questions and thinking critically about your own ideas. █LEARNT ABILITIES █Strongest Skill ▬ Her determinism and silent optimism even in trying times means she is not one to give up easily, despite knowing what she is and what she is not. In short, she is persistent, and will not lay down her arms so easily if angered. █Weakest Skill ▬ Nao is emotionally delicate, easily reduced to tears if intentionally hurt, and does not take well to physical pain internally, as she does not have a very high pain tolerance. █Other Skills ▬ Swift Decision-Making - Since she often deals with life-or-death situations, Nao has learned to take the best course of action when it comes to saving someone's life that has been given to her for healing and saving purposes.

She's into languages, and knows the many tongues of her tribe as well as the standard English.

█LIKES █ ▬ Likes to sing and dance, and was trained as an entertainer of her people. █ ▬ Kind People █ ▬ Salads, Tea or Juice █ ▬ Tinkering/Repair Tools █ ▬ Lepidopteras █DISLIKES █ ▬ Fools █ ▬ Meat, Junk Food, Sodas █ ▬ Sharp Objects █ ▬ Predatory Fish, Birds of Prey █ ▬ That she will never see her home tribe ever again. █PERSONALITY TRAITS █Nature ▬ Nao is a complicated person in some ways, and also a simple one at other points. Caring and emotionally attached to those that matter to her, Nao's love and strife for promoting life can me surmised as a weakness, but her drive to help others is also one of her strongest qualities. She also has a 'strength' complex, in which she tries to hide her lack of pain tolerance and emotional delicateness with a false façade and often calm pretense. But aside from the fact that she tries to conceal her flaws, she is a girl who has an interesting past as a healer and entertainer of her people. Her experiences have made her strong and resilient, but she knows she can never fully change her nature, which is someone who is more inclined towards intellectual and spiritual matters rather than purely worldly pursuits. She tries to remedy her lack of physical prowess's by expressing herself artistically, which she has always leaned towards when it came to finding closure with her lackings. Despite the somewhat frail and delicate state of her nature on the outside, within she is an immense being of light and healing, trained from a very young age to hone her powers, which she often cannot control or contain and sometimes seems to have a mind of its own. She otherwise has a very serene and compassionate disposition, an image of grace and elegance to those who have looked up to her. █Vernacular ▬ Has a strange accent no one can really place, but its spoken style is reminiscent of the South American dialects. She rarely speaks, and even when she does, she is very soft-spoken and direct. █Positive Traits ▬ Is a very optimistic and bright-minded individual. Though she hates violence and war, she is knowledgeable enough to know that such things cannot be avoided. She is a very studious person in the ways of the world. She likes to expand her pool of knowledge, often thinking deeply on various matters that concern the world and the many problems that plague their surroundings. She is also very compassionate, usually feeling or showing sympathy and concern for others even when they don't deserve it. She is always worried about others well-being and tries to get to know everyone on sympathetic terms. █Negative Traits ▬ Nao easily gets attached to those she deems close to her, even those she gets mildly interested or curious with. She takes the personal losses of those around her as her own as well, and often takes things to heart empathically, even when the words spoken to her may or may not be true. Her profoundly sensitive personality can be used against her easily, and without proper guidance or someone to look out for her, this could become a problem.
█ █ ╫ H I S T O R Y ╫
█BACKGROUND ▬ Nao was born at the forests of the Rhopalocera tribe's territory just like everyone else, but was called to the healer's section despite being female. There, she joined a special squad that centered on water-based semblances. Like all of those of her kind, she was trained at a young age to be a warrior, but simply following the customs of her people where they respect all life, Nao took to healing as a means to avoid conflict and to preserve her beliefs and ideologies. This was highly unusual as it was usually the men who was centered on such matters, but was inspired by her father, who happened to also be a notable healer during his time. Many like her were raised to use specific techniques that basically involved mimicking the moon's tide. Though how they did it was much an open subject of debate and curiosity to scholars and enthusiasts alike due to the fact that they almost never revealed this secret part of their life to outsiders. One day she ventured deeper into the forests while following the great river and came upon a lake basin nestled deep in the mountains at the end of the water's system. Ever seeking to get away from the noise of those around her, Nao often ventured to this great body of water away from her tribe's boundaries, as she considered it her sacred space. There on the gravelly shores of the lake, Nao trained from a very young age to call to the spirit of the water's edge, and to harness the healing aura within their special sect. Many were born like her, yet most of her peers lacked the tenacity to change and continuously develop like she did. Her determination grew with time, and only if she worked hard to shift the ocean within herself, because all life was derived from water, and this combination of their aura plus the soothing yet dualistic nature of the waves and the moon was what she drew her power from.
She would teach herself her specialty, and that was to think with constant clarity and be able to apply different ways to use and harness these abilities. Nao created her own branch of healing in which she infused her aura into the surrounding water, controlling and shaping it in various uses and functions according to her creative will. After a few years of training privately in solitude, she was permitted to go to the main, dense forest area twice every week and interreact with the trees of the forests of their territory. There, she took up an early fascination for the career of entertainment and show. She developed a love for expressing herself through singing and dancing due to her friend's encouragement, for she was a great singer and her movements had an almost hypnotic quality to it; though this did not quell her thirst for knowledge of the world outside of their protective nook. Strangely enough at some point, she combined her talents on the stage with her water healing abilities, creating her own unique style of fighting and healing. What's even stranger is that she did not develop this technique based on her own ideas. Once a year they would travel to the cultural hub where they would watch people dancing, and her favorite dances were the ones that involved fans. Then when they showcased Tessen fighting as an extra tidbit, she became inspired and made up her mind to integrate such a style into her way of life. When she came home that night on the their first trip to the center, she began practicing with a cheap fan the art of Fan Dancing. On that night, she just decided to pickup her fan and have some fun.
Every night since then, she would practice and develop her sweeping and dabbing movements until she exhausted herself, earning her the label of being a hard worker despite the early minority of her kind's size, which gave her titles and accomplishments. In a way, this paved the way for her to become a pioneer in how water was to be used and controlled. Many years after of both perfecting her arts and flawlessly passing the staple trial in which their warrior women must undertake before they reached maturity, Nao performed at the Faery Festival hosted by a mysterious benefactor, who also worked at the Foreign Relations office that helped governed the relations of the tribe, only a few months after their boarder was opened to outsiders. There, they competed for the honor of going far away to Beacon, in which the sole winner would be granted a scholarship to attend there till they graduate. This was conducted during a time when her tribe faced challenges and alleges that they could be wiped out if they didn't send students to the school for training. In exchange for solidarity with new students, the government would help ensure the survivability of her people and therefore the protection of the whole tribe in its entirety. They were, after all, a unique peoples who's way of life must be saved and preserved. With her hard working ways she was ready to accept the results. It was enough to grant her ownership of her skills, and accomplished just enough to get her there, up until the very moment in which her final test was to be revealed.
During the competition, many were anticipating her win, yet there were an equal amount which deemed her lesser than them and preferred to see her fail instead. With much effort, Nao managed to win the competition where it involved a showcase of talents, and with high spirits, was dubbed a representative of her people, then proceeded to go on to pack her things and was off on her journey to Beacon a week after winning at the festival. After saying goodbye to her friends and family, she travelled to the mainland and took several methods of travel before she finally got to the alleged school. There she saw the many forms life took, and was fascinated by them all. This was the start of her newfound curiosity with everything; how they worked, how it grew and how it was done. And so begins her journey to a world her kind rarely saw, and took a liking to lolita fashion at that on her way to the new world. This broke down all previous notes on how her people dressed, for they almost never took on fashion that wasn't from their native home, but for Nao this was fitting, because she had always broken barriers, and on impulse knew that this was one rule she did not mind breaking. She did, however, wear their usual standard of clothing even before she left for Beacon, and she figured.... she needed to fit in with the crowd more instead of sticking out like a foreign native from a thoroughly fantasy-based setting. Everyone around her already dressed in very odd ways, so she figured her choice of appearance wasn't too unusual to begin with.

█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Kokoro no Obuzashī (Heart of the Sea) █ ▬ A Tessen war fan; (Japanese: 鉄扇,てっせん, romanized: tessen, lit. '"iron fan"') Size = 30cm (11.8") is a weaponized Japanese hand fan designed for use in warfare. It is a deep ashen black in color, and has the silhouette mark of a blue butterfly imprinted on the fan.
(The symbol on her fan.) █Melee Form ▬ Her weapon is basically just an metallic fan, but when used with sophistication and precision, it can be used efficiently with the fighting technique of Tessenjutsu. █Ranged Form ▬ Can be accurately tossed while enclosed on a target. The throwing range would be a good 20 meters. Also has a chord that looks like a ribbon attached to it so that it can be pulled back into her hand while still coated with her aura. █Other Form(s) ▬ None █Ammo Type ▬ Aura █ ▬ She can trap dust inside the water bubbles to transport and activate the effects of it from a recommendable distance. However, if not careful, this could easily backfire if the bubble is broken, or if it is activated at a close enough range, it could prove to possibly harm her instead.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Uses acupuncture needles as sub-weapons. These are used as her long-range weapon coverage, and are a solid 4 inches in length for tougher targets. █ ▬ Carries a colorfully decorated butterfly knife short-sword on specific occasions, such as missions. █ ▬ Carries a handy Swiss Army Knife wherever she goes. █ ▬ A large rubber flask filled with ordinary, everyday water. █ITEMS █ ▬ Scroll █ ▬ Sealed Rubber Gourde filled with Water and some Steel Corked Vials █ ▬ Leather strap with pockets that holds the containers in place.
█ █ ╫ S E M B L A N C E ╫
█*NAME ▬ Flow of Starlette Sea █*AURA COLOR ▬ Sapphire Blue █*DESCRIPTION Her semblance basically centers on water manipulation. She infuses some of her aura in the water, allowing her to shape it, keep it afloat, and use her weapon to create a spanned flow of trajectory. Once the water is in contact with someone, that person will start to absorb the aura inside of it (lets say it takes a post from when the water is in contact with someone to when its finally dry of aura), in which the aura is enough for the person to heal both major and minor wounds and injuries with it. She can even curve around the direction of the water around her. Her water manipulation abilities also extend to various other capabilities, in which it mostly centers around healing and protection. █ ▬ Her semblance is very straightforward in its function, allowing her to create or shape any (preferably sanitary) large body of water, merge her aura with it, and heal anyone who comes into contact with it. She does this by being able to keep the aura-infused water within her mind's control, gaining the ability of movement with the floating liquid using her mind and her glowing hands, in which this is where she mainly uses the substance as a channeling method with her aura. However, her aura can extend throughout her body and allow her to heal injuries and boost her own capabilities to an extent. █*LEVEL 0 ▬ Unlocks:Water Healing Nao has the ability to shoot water droplets and spheres from a radius distance of 10-15 meters, depending on her focus. This water can cleanse, purify, renew and change various physical and spiritual compositions it comes into contact with, including multiple types of injuries, ailments and wounds. *NOTE: She can use her weapon to heighten her water-shaping capabilities. (0-99 posts) █*LEVEL 1▬ Unlocks: Water Detox She can also take the water infused with her aura particles to detoxify her target, removing most forms of poisons and duration-based negative effects. The water can only penetrate a certain degree of a person's body parts, unless the surface is temporarily pierced in order for the water to reach beneath the muscle surface. In which case, she uses her acupuncture needles to do this, while still being able to slip in the water for healing by coating the needle with water. (100-199 posts) █*LEVEL 2▬ Unlocks: Water Barrier Allows her to cast a glowing shield made out of water. She projects her aura in a circular shape at the same time the water is dispersed, which projects a smooth and slightly flexible shield held together by the water. This shield can protect against blasts and projectiles to an extent, but cannot hold against a straightforward and powerful blow. She can also revert this shield beneath, her, making her capable of walking on still surfaces of water. (200-299 posts) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ Unlocks:Water Rebound She gains an extra instinct sense, which allows her to have better reflexes, gain a more accurate fighting stance and quicker reaction time when it comes to overall movement and fighting, and is basically and strictly a self-buff. She allows the aura to radiate throughout herself, which is somehow tied to the water in her own body, and gives her better and faster running, jumping, precision and strike speed. This has an after-effect of making her glow a pure and white aura. (300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ Her ability has an odd effect on anyone who gets too addicted to her aura. Her aura also has a distinct and soothing draw to it to anyone who is within her presence, which may or may not attract desirable individuals at times.

❖❖❖Assessment❖❖❖ Allo there! My name is KnightsRoyal, and I'll be judging your awesome profile tonight!
After discussing things with the elder gods, we have all come to the conclusion. This is your First Judgement Via the entity: Dane. Inquisitive Asks/Statements: ❖ [Water Detox] it cures status effects mainly and poisons, how long does it take to cure illnesses and can it prevent future status effects temporarily or is it a one moment type of deal? ❖ ❖
Changes Needed: ❖ Butterfly Knife and Swiss Army Knife need stated blade-lengths. ❖ Remove either the Sealed Rubber Gourd or the Rubber Flask and state how many they have of one item, also needs to list how much they contain in liters of water. ❖ Leather Strap needs to state how many containers it holds. ❖ Reflective Learner: It's not actually clear what this skill does now. Could you please simplify it into what benefit it provides? ❖ Strongest Skill: It was changed from one personality quirk to another. This trait is just being stubborn. You will need a new skill here. ❖ Now we begin Semblance overview. [Water Healing] At level 0 she is able to heal Injuries, Ailments, and wounds... we need at least a statement to how much this Healing Water can actually repair. ❖ [Water Barrier] This essentially acts as an Aura barrier, but coated in water, so we need a stated range for how much this actually covers since this is suppose to be a 'Spherical' shape not Circular shape. Duration is required for how long the barrier lasts. Damage Thresholds are needed for the difference in Ranged Damage limit vs Melee Damage limit. ❖ [Water Rebound] This is akin to Blood Manipulation, which is not what your semblance is able to do. This ability will need to be changed. ❖ Your Semblance Drawbacks will need to be changed. 'Others getting addicted' is not a real drawback for a healing semblance. ❖ Biography: After careful deliberation, it has been decided you do not qualify to be apart of the rhopalocera Tribe of butterflies. Because of this you will need to remove all mentions of them in your profile and you are free to go in any direction you wish with the character.
