██ ╫ A F F E C T A T I O N ╫
█HEIGHT ▬ 5 Feet, 7 Inches █WEIGHT ▬ 98 pounds
█HAIR ▬ Thick/Thigh-length/Layered/Slightly wavy/Fiery reddish-brown █CLOTHING ▬ Casual-Wear: .5 // 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // anything that doesn't mess with her flight. █ ▬ Battlewear: 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 █ ▬ "Celebratory"-wear: 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 █ ▬ Mission-wear: 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 █ ▬ Travel-wear: 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 █ACCESSORIES ▬ Music box locket (Song) █ ▬ Leather bracelets, chokers, fingerless gloves, and other jewelry with feathers/beads/natural pretties. █EYES ▬ Dark Chocolate █BUILD ▬ Lithe and lean-muscled █TATTOOS ▬ Rose Crescent under her right pit; Autumn leaves on the wind. █SCARS ▬ Tiny "teeth marks" around her ankles from a hunting trap when she was little. █MARKINGS/FAUNUS FEATURES ▬ Kestrel wings that fold up tight and rest against the back when not in use (fully displayed = 15-feet Wingspan).
██ ╫ A R C H E T Y P E ╫
█NATURAL ABILITIES █Primary Talent ▬ Aerial Acrobatics: Using the air current skillfully, she has found that she's able to fly in intricate patterns/sharp turns and the like through the air without much strain. █Faunus Trait ▬ Avian Flight: Flight is possible with her wings at 39 miles/hour for 4 posts; resting for four posts. █Other Talents ▬ Kestrel Calls: Due to practice and the bird she is, being raised with a mostly non-verbal family, they use their calls instead to blend in with the nature around them. █ ▬ Aura Shockwave: A reactionary offensive technique utilizing aura as a shockwave and knocking things/people away from Kes up to 15-feet, upon first melee (physical or weapon) attack when hit. Though if happening it the air, it does push her back/sends her flying as well. After the first burst, it cannot be activated again until after a 4-posts rest.
█LEARNT ABILITIES █Strongest Skill ▬ Polearm Fighting: Being trained from a young age, Kes has chosen to specialize in polearm weapons, rather than any other weapons. █Weakest Skill ▬ Hollowed Bones: Though tall, she weighs less than the average person her height due to her avian-like bones. This also means she can be in danger of breaking them easier when her aura is down in a fight. █ ▬ Extremely High Metabolism: Flying burns a lot of energy and calories creating a high metabolism. Needing to ingest a larger number of calories (double the average) per day in order to replenish energy after flight or risk passing out due to the great consumption of energy. █Other Skills ▬ Precision: Marked by or adapted for accuracy and exactness, when making her mark on a target she doesn't miss easily; especially on a still target. █ ▬ Bodhrán Playing: First used to practice hand-eye focus (coordination) with rhythm, that turned to music with the beats of the drum; playing is both communication and ceremonial/celebratory. █ ▬ Wind-Hoverer: For up to four posts, appearing to be hanging up to 60-feet in the air, Kestrel flies into and at the same speed as, the oncoming wind – the current of air passing over her wings provides the lift she needs; to maintain the lift, she extends the tips of her wings, and if the wind drops she will flap her wings to increase air movement. *(To cope with the energy demands of hovering she includes tiny pauses, stretching her neck forwards to offset being blown backwards, while keeping her head in position.)
█LIKES █ ▬ Hunting // Flying // Playing her Bodhrán █ ▬ Chefs // Fun-lovers // Respectful of Nature █ ▬ Spit-Roasted and Spiced meats // Floral Teas // Mutton Stew █ ▬ Shiny things █ ▬ Birds-of-Prey // Wolves // Spiders █DISLIKES █ ▬ Slavers // "Uptight" people // Liars █ ▬ Beets // Rat // Snake █ ▬ Storms // Cages // Shackles █ ▬ Snakes // Bobcats // Mountain lions █ ▬ Cleithrophobia: Kes, has the genuine fear of being trapped; not in small spaces alone, but no longer being able to spread her wings and fly where she pleases. "A bird in a cage" as the saying goes; she would rather be dead than trapped. █PERSONALITY TRAITS █Nature ▬ There's more than one side to Kestrel really, besides her usual ebullience, wanderlust, and ipseity. █ ▬ Her follow-where-the-wind-takes-her nature where she's kind, fun-loving, and chill. █ ▬ And her bird-of-prey nature when she's hunting makes her serious, stern, alert, and persistent to the point of almost blood-lust in a hunt. █ ▬ Overall, she's a practitioner of ayurnamat, she doesn't worry about events that cannot be changed but, will fight for what can be changed (putting her heart in it when she cares about it). That's not to say she doesn't have a serious side when she needs to be. █Positive Traits ▬ Fun-loving; Kind; Persistent; Ipseity. █Negative Traits ▬ Blood-Lust; Sometimes can be a little too carefree. █Vernacular ▬ Her voice is a little deeper than other females, dry speech pattern, a little bit of a growl when she talks; voicesame.

█BACKGROUND ▬ Kestrel was third-born, just sixteen years before the falls of Vacuo and Atlas in the mountains between Vale and Vacuo, to is a small, and mostly solitary, Hover of bird-of-prey Faunus that assisted with others crossing through. Her life has been rather eventful with the occasional Nevermore and/or Lancer group vying for their home. █ ▬ Having been told of the past, she knows her family was once nomadic for trading resources, before choosing to settle where they could protect the trade routes from Grimm in the mountains, taking traders to and from Vale and Vacuo. █ ▬ When she was born, the first thing she saw was a large black splotch in blue sky before her world went dark; she lost her paternal grandparents that day, she was told. Being raised by her maternal grandmother and her parents equally. █ ▬ Growing up, she would be raised with learning about wing-care, flying, respecting their elders, the significance of inked skin throughout her life; and her mother's' technique for hovering (as kestrels do) when her wings were ready (around age five). But, more importantly when she was big enough, how to fight when on the ground and in air; training with her two older siblings (about age nine). Though when Grimm came around, they would find safety in the mountains they called home. █ ▬ As a chick, she and her siblings were taught that elders were wealth's of past knowledge, raised to be aware of "them that taught the next generation" their secrets to survival and therefore were to be respected for that reason. She and her siblings did indeed respect their sagely grandmother; not just for her knowledge, but she was a scary and sassy crone that didn't hesitate to smack someone with her cane if disrespected. They also learned that there were two reasons for inking ones skin.---1) for marking skin to commemorate public achievements (like a great hunt, successful mission, or a union); 2) Marking oneself as a reminder of Self achievements (one's courage over a fear, Finishing first flight, or expressing one's self to others).--- █ ▬ Preferring to remain neutral on Vacuo and Vale affairs alike, they were not unaware of the growing troubles and she even witnessed at a young age, the elders helping those from Vacuo to cross the mountains during this "fall" as she'd hear it be called, when she was one-year-old. Things had been very quiet other than her lessons from her family. Knowing that everything happened for a reason, she would grow up accepting the things like the three "Falls" as they were not things she could change, but would grow up with a drive to do what she can for her family and a curiosity of the inner cities of Vale. █ ▬ In her sixth year of life, she would witness two births (her twin siblings), and it would be the same year that their elder sister would leave the flock, so-to-speak, in order to find her own path in life. Her elder brother would do the same when she was eight-years-old, though they would return during winter seasons. In that same year, she would earn the crescent rose moon to mark her first successful night flight under the Rose moon. █ ▬ Following Atlas' Fall, she was about eleven-years-old and had in the months to follow, came across a strange yet interesting flock of avian faunus all their own; The Glazeworth Tribe. The Tribe did not stay more than a month or so before being on their way but, not before a certain Kookachuba left a drum (Bodhrán) with her as thanks as well as small thanks to the rest of her family members; sparking her love for the instrument. Her weapon she received from her father as a gift on her twelfth year and mirrored his own to defend herself when she went to explore more on her own. █ ▬ Her first encounter with a Beowolf, she had been taken spear-fishing by her father for dinner when she was twelve-years-old. Rather than running like he told her to, she was frozen in her place. It had came fast and her aura (she assumed it was) reacted like a shockwave. Surprise from both sides, she ran after that if only to get her weapon. Her father was injured that day, but he killed the first, fighting off the second together. Though she'd always known and dealt with Grimm, it had never been directly. So, in that season, she was more determined to do something about the Grimm. █ ▬ Talking with the grandmother, she would learn of others in the past called Fierce-wings; each with their own style but, who had similar ideas of weaponizing their auras around their wings. Fascinated by the ideas and growing up with flechette weapons, she would develop her semblance to what she wanted; Blade-wings. Having already been training with other small throwing blades, her semblance paired with her precision made her mother and father proud to have such a warrior-in-training in their flock; marking the achievement with the tattoo on her calf for the season it was created. █ ▬ The young kestrel faunus would be keeping in the back of her mind the stories of the school for future hunts(wo)men, she had always pushed back the desire to go until she was of proper age. Telling her family of this idea when all gathered, she received their blessing. Her sixteenth year though, she injured herself in crash landing when flying through a storm to lose a lancer and decided to apply the next year to Beacon.

█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Hope █ ▬ Made from strong metals, Hope is a spear with a colorful 2 feet long blade which unlatches to separate and reveal a barrel that produces a beam; depending on the dust used, that is what the effect will be. █Melee Form ▬ The spear blade measures about 2-feet in length and a 1 centimeter thick. The staff measures 1-inch girth and 6-feet in length; including dust shard insert for small dust. █Ranged Form ▬ This spear's blade separates/unhitches down the center to reveal a barrel in the shaft that shoots a beam at the max of 30 meters if unobstructed. █Other Form(s) ▬ N/A █Ammo Type ▬ Physical (Small Dust Crystal only; Loaded at the bottom of the shaft of the spear before it disappears.) █ ▬ It takes 1 post to (re)load the dust crystal into the bottom of the spear.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Bec-De-Corbin; 4 feet and 7 inches long staff, Hammer to Rear Spike: 12 inches long, 4 inches wide (beak), Top Spike: 7.75 inches, Weight: 6 pounds. █ ▬ Flechettes (20/20); Each: 1.5 inches long, 0.5 inch diameter, about 0.7 ounces weight each. █ ▬ karambits (12/12); Each: 7 inches full length, 3.1 inches blade, about 3.8 ounces weight.

██ ╫ S E M B L A N C E ╫
█*NAME ▬ Blade-wing █*AURA COLOR ▬ Light Sky blue █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ Blade wings is an offensive semblance that forms aura in the shape of her feathers from under each wing. The blade wings formed can then be used to project at chosen target(s) with a beat of her wings, whether she is on the ground (up to 50 feet uninterrupted) or while she's flying. If she doesn't project the aura feathers, she can use them in melee since they are layered under her wings (ex: cutting someone with a swing/movement of her wings when the semblance is active). As she levels up, the number of feathers she can create increases. █ *Each feather/blade is 5 inches long and 2 inches wide. █*LEVEL 0 ▬ She can only create 10 aura feather blades per post. Lasts for 2 posts, rest for 2 posts. █*LEVEL 1 ▬ She can only create 20 aura feather blades per post. Lasts for 2 posts, rest for 2 posts. █*LEVEL 2 ▬ She can only create 30 aura feather blades per post. Lasts for 3 posts, rest for 3 posts. █*LEVEL 3 ▬ She can only create 40 aura feather blades per post. Lasts for 4 posts, rest for 4 posts. █*DRAWBACKS ▬ Number of resting posts increases over levels. █ ▬ It goes without saying that someone that is good at dodging/fast/skilled at blocking can get out of the way of these blades, unless they are stationary. █ ▬ They cannot phase through/curve around/home-in on people and/or objects to get to desired target.

██ ╫ Q U E S T P O I N T S ╫
█*Total Quest Points ▬ 0 █*Total Classes ▬ 0 █*Current Grade ▬ Freshman █*Log Of Completion ▬ (Put where you got the points from)
My name is Teddy and I will be going over your Profile today. If have any questions you can ask them here or on Discord. Username is R Kelly of Roleplay in the chat. Or someone can direct you to me. Either way lets get started.
Precision: This talent is fine. Just a reminder that while your talent is precision it not going to be an auto-hit even if person is stationary (unless they do absolutely nothing. person could still like a shield or something)
Wind-Hoverer: How long can she hover in the air uninterrupted. Is there a time limit or is it the same duration as her flight which is 4 posts?
Hope: Can it only shoot beams when it loaded with dust or can it shoot beams from regular physical ammo/ kinda like how have bullets for guns. Also can it shoot out beams of aura as well?
Clarification:Kestrel was third-born, just a year before the falls of Vacuo and Atlas in the mountains between Vale and Vacuo, I guess you mean before vacuo since vacuo fell 16 years ago. Atlas fell 6 years ago.
Semblance Clarification: So it says she can make a certain amount for each post. Just make sure reading it correctly does this mean the first post she can make 10 then next post she can make 10 more to have a total of 20? Also if she doesn't project them at someone, since they are layered under her wings can she use them for melee purposes with her wings? For example: Cut someone with swing or movement of her wings when the semblance is active.
Also, when she projects the feather blades at a person do they all go to that person, or does she have control of how many she shoots at a person and How far of range can you shoot them??
Besides these things. Everything else looks good to me.

Pleasure to meet you, and thank you for looking at my profile~! ^///^ 1) To address your first concern, thank you, I shall keep that in mind with my Precision. 2) I'm sorry, yes it's the same four-post duration as her flight, I thought that was obvious but I shall add that. sweatdropDone 3) For, Hope, I did not think of Aura as ammo honestly, but thank you, I shall clarify that as well. sweatdropDone 4) Backstory: That is true, but she was born sixteen years before both, I can see the confusion and will correct it as well. heartDone 5) Your first question about my semblance is correct, ten in post one and ten the next. o.o In truth, I had not thought of that, I only thought of them as projectiles...is it possible/fair for me to add that to her semblance description? 6) As for how/where, they would have a diameter equal to her wings, so fifteen feet wingspread and then released on a flapping of said wings, directing them either down or forward...does that make sense? sweatdrop As for how far...uninterrupted downward from where she's at up in the sky, forward when on the ground...what's a fair distance? v///v I'm sorry, I'm bad at this.
My name is Teddy and I will be going over your Profile today. If have any questions you can ask them here or on Discord. Username is R Kelly of Roleplay in the chat. Or someone can direct you to me. Either way lets get started.
Precision: This talent is fine. Just a reminder that while your talent is precision it not going to be an auto-hit even if person is stationary (unless they do absolutely nothing. person could still like a shield or something)
Wind-Hoverer: How long can she hover in the air uninterrupted. Is there a time limit or is it the same duration as her flight which is 4 posts?
Hope: Can it only shoot beams when it loaded with dust or can it shoot beams from regular physical ammo/kinda like how have bullets for guns. Also can it shoot out beams of aura as well?
Clarification:Kestrel was third-born, just a year before the falls of Vacuo and Atlas in the mountains between Vale and Vacuo, I guess you mean before vacuo since vacuo fell 16 years ago. Atlas fell 6 years ago.
Semblance Clarification: So it says she can make a certain amount for each post. Just make sure reading it correctly does this mean the first post she can make 10 then next post she can make 10 more to have a total of 20? Also if she doesn't project them at someone, since they are layered under her wings can she use them for melee purposes with her wings? For example: Cut someone with swing or movement of her wings when the semblance is active.
Also, when she projects the feather blades at a person do they all go to that person, or does she have control of how many she shoots at a person and How far of range can you shoot them??
Besides these things. Everything else looks good to me.

1.Cool then that's good. 2.good 3.good 4. Makes sense. ^^ good as well here. 5.Off course you can add that to her semblance. I would recommend it. More versatility :3 6. Downward is good. Cause gravity would help out. As for fair distance forward. I say 50ft be cool range and fair.
Sidenote: Doing great. Not bad at all ^_^

First off, thank you~! I shall add both then. ^///^ Done.
█CURRENT TEAM ▬ N/A █PARTNER(S) ▬ N/A █NICKNAME(S) ▬ Kes; Kesie (by parents); Layla; Birdbrain (though only by a few rude people). █OCCUPATION ▬ Student

██ ╫ A R C H E T Y P E ╫
█NATURAL ABILITIES █Primary Talent ▬ Aerial Acrobatics: Using the air current skillfully, she has found that she's able to fly in intricate patterns/sharp turns and the like through the air without much strain. █Faunus Trait ▬ Avian Flight: Flight is possible with her wings at 39 miles/hour for 4 posts; resting for four posts. █Other Talents ▬ Kestrel Calls: Due to practice and the bird she is, being raised with a mostly non-verbal family, they use their calls instead to blend in with the nature around them. █ ▬ Aura Shockwave: A reactionary offensive technique utilizing aura as a shockwave and knocking things/people away from Kes up to 15-feet, upon first melee (physical or weapon) attack when hit. Though if happening it the air, it does push her back/sends her flying as well. After the first burst, it cannot be activated again until after a 4-posts rest.
█LEARNT ABILITIES █Strongest Skill ▬ Polearm Fighting: Being trained from a young age, Kes has chosen to specialize in polearm weapons, rather than any other weapons. █Weakest Skill ▬ Hollowed Bones: Though tall, she weighs less than the average person her height due to her avian-like bones. This also means she can be in danger of breaking them easier when her aura is down in a fight. █ ▬ Extremely High Metabolism: Flying burns a lot of energy and calories creating a high metabolism. Needing to ingest a larger number of calories (double the average) per day in order to replenish energy after flight or risk passing out due to the great consumption of energy. █Other Skills ▬ Precision: Marked by or adapted for accuracy and exactness, when making her mark on a target she doesn't miss easily; especially on a still target. █ ▬ Bodhrán Playing: First used to practice hand-eye focus (coordination) with rhythm, that turned to music with the beats of the drum; playing is both communication and ceremonial/celebratory. █ ▬ Wind-Hoverer: For up to four posts, appearing to be hanging up to 60-feet in the air, Kestrel flies into and at the same speed as, the oncoming wind – the current of air passing over her wings provides the lift she needs; to maintain the lift, she extends the tips of her wings, and if the wind drops she will flap her wings to increase air movement. *(To cope with the energy demands of hovering she includes tiny pauses, stretching her neck forwards to offset being blown backwards, while keeping her head in position.)
█LIKES █ ▬ Hunting // Flying // Playing her Bodhrán █ ▬ Chefs // Fun-lovers // Respectful of Nature █ ▬ Spit-Roasted and Spiced meats // Floral Teas // Mutton Stew █ ▬ Shiny things █ ▬ Birds-of-Prey // Wolves // Spiders █DISLIKES █ ▬ Slavers // "Uptight" people // Liars █ ▬ Beets // Rat // Snake █ ▬ Storms // Cages // Shackles █ ▬ Snakes // Bobcats // Mountain lions █ ▬ Cleithrophobia: Kes, has the genuine fear of being trapped; not in small spaces alone, but no longer being able to spread her wings and fly where she pleases. "A bird in a cage" as the saying goes; she would rather be dead than trapped. █PERSONALITY TRAITS █Nature ▬ There's more than one side to Kestrel really, besides her usual ebullience, wanderlust, and ipseity. █ ▬ Her follow-where-the-wind-takes-her nature where she's kind, fun-loving, and chill. █ ▬ And her bird-of-prey nature when she's hunting makes her serious, stern, alert, and persistent to the point of almost blood-lust in a hunt. █ ▬ Overall, she's a practitioner of ayurnamat, she doesn't worry about events that cannot be changed but, will fight for what can be changed (putting her heart in it when she cares about it). That's not to say she doesn't have a serious side when she needs to be. █Positive Traits ▬ Fun-loving; Kind; Persistent; Ipseity. █Negative Traits ▬ Blood-Lust; Sometimes can be a little too carefree. █Vernacular ▬ Her voice is a little deeper than other females, dry speech pattern, a little bit of a growl when she talks; voicesame.
██ ╫ H I S T O R Y ╫
█BACKGROUND ▬ Kestrel was third-born, just sixteen years before the falls of Vacuo and Atlas in the mountains between Vale and Vacuo, to is a small, and mostly solitary, Hover of bird-of-prey Faunus that assisted with others crossing through. Her life has been rather eventful with the occasional Nevermore and/or Lancer group vying for their home. █ ▬ Having been told of the past, she knows her family was once nomadic for trading resources, before choosing to settle where they could protect the trade routes from Grimm in the mountains, taking traders to and from Vale and Vacuo. █ ▬ When she was born, the first thing she saw was a large black splotch in blue sky before her world went dark; she lost her paternal grandparents that day, she was told. Being raised by her maternal grandmother and her parents equally. █ ▬ Growing up, she would be raised with learning about wing-care, flying, respecting their elders, the significance of inked skin throughout her life; and her mother's' technique for hovering (as kestrels do) when her wings were ready (around age five). But, more importantly when she was big enough, how to fight when on the ground and in air; training with her two older siblings (about age nine). Though when Grimm came around, they would find safety in the mountains they called home. █ ▬ As a chick, she and her siblings were taught that elders were wealth's of past knowledge, raised to be aware of "them that taught the next generation" their secrets to survival and therefore were to be respected for that reason. She and her siblings did indeed respect their sagely grandmother; not just for her knowledge, but she was a scary and sassy crone that didn't hesitate to smack someone with her cane if disrespected. They also learned that there were two reasons for inking ones skin.---1) for marking skin to commemorate public achievements (like a great hunt, successful mission, or a union); 2) Marking oneself as a reminder of Self achievements (one's courage over a fear, Finishing first flight, or expressing one's self to others).--- █ ▬ Preferring to remain neutral on Vacuo and Vale affairs alike, they were not unaware of the growing troubles and she even witnessed at a young age, the elders helping those from Vacuo to cross the mountains during this "fall" as she'd hear it be called, when she was one-year-old. Things had been very quiet other than her lessons from her family. Knowing that everything happened for a reason, she would grow up accepting the things like the three "Falls" as they were not things she could change, but would grow up with a drive to do what she can for her family and a curiosity of the inner cities of Vale. █ ▬ In her sixth year of life, she would witness two births (her twin siblings), and it would be the same year that their elder sister would leave the flock, so-to-speak, in order to find her own path in life. Her elder brother would do the same when she was eight-years-old, though they would return during winter seasons. In that same year, she would earn the crescent rose moon to mark her first successful night flight under the Rose moon. █ ▬ Following Atlas' Fall, she was about eleven-years-old and had in the months to follow, came across a strange yet interesting flock of avian faunus all their own; The Glazeworth Tribe. The Tribe did not stay more than a month or so before being on their way but, not before a certain Kookachuba left a drum (Bodhrán) with her as thanks as well as small thanks to the rest of her family members; sparking her love for the instrument. Her weapon she received from her father as a gift on her twelfth year and mirrored his own to defend herself when she went to explore more on her own. █ ▬ Her first encounter with a Beowolf, she had been taken spear-fishing by her father for dinner when she was twelve-years-old. Rather than running like he told her to, she was frozen in her place. It had came fast and her aura (she assumed it was) reacted like a shockwave. Surprise from both sides, she ran after that if only to get her weapon. Her father was injured that day, but he killed the first, fighting off the second together. Though she'd always known and dealt with Grimm, it had never been directly. So, in that season, she was more determined to do something about the Grimm. █ ▬ Talking with the grandmother, she would learn of others in the past called Fierce-wings; each with their own style but, who had similar ideas of weaponizing their auras around their wings. Fascinated by the ideas and growing up with flechette weapons, she would develop her semblance to what she wanted; Blade-wings. Having already been training with other small throwing blades, her semblance paired with her precision made her mother and father proud to have such a warrior-in-training in their flock; marking the achievement with the tattoo on her calf for the season it was created. █ ▬ The young kestrel faunus would be keeping in the back of her mind the stories of the school for future hunts(wo)men, she had always pushed back the desire to go until she was of proper age. Telling her family of this idea when all gathered, she received their blessing. Her sixteenth year though, she injured herself in crash landing when flying through a storm to lose a lancer and decided to apply the next year to Beacon.

█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Hope █ ▬ Made from strong metals, Hope is a spear with a colorful 2 feet long blade which unlatches to separate and reveal a barrel that produces a beam; depending on the dust used, that is what the effect will be. █Melee Form ▬ The spear blade measures about 2-feet in length and a 1 centimeter thick. The staff measures 1-inch girth and 6-feet in length; including dust shard insert for small dust. █Ranged Form ▬ This spear's blade separates/unhitches down the center to reveal a barrel in the shaft that shoots a beam at the max of 30 meters if unobstructed. █Other Form(s) ▬ N/A █Ammo Type ▬ Physical (Small Dust Crystal only; Loaded at the bottom of the shaft of the spear before it disappears.) █ ▬ It takes 1 post to (re)load the dust crystal into the bottom of the spear.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Bec-De-Corbin; 4 feet and 7 inches long staff, Hammer to Rear Spike: 12 inches long, 4 inches wide (beak), Top Spike: 7.75 inches, Weight: 6 pounds. █ ▬ Flechettes (20/20); Each: 1.5 inches long, 0.5 inch diameter, about 0.7 ounces weight each. █ ▬ karambits (12/12); Each: 7 inches full length, 3.1 inches blade, about 3.8 ounces weight.

█*NAME ▬ Blade-wing █*AURA COLOR ▬ Light Sky blue █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ Blade wings is an offensive semblance that forms aura in the shape of her feathers from under each wing. The blade wings formed can then be used to project at chosen target(s) with a beat of her wings, whether she is on the ground (up to 50 feet uninterrupted) or while she's flying. If she doesn't project the aura feathers, she can use them in melee since they are layered under her wings (ex: cutting someone with a swing/movement of her wings when the semblance is active). As she levels up, the number of feathers she can create increases. █ *Each feather/blade is 5 inches long and 2 inches wide. █*LEVEL 0 ▬ She can only create 10 aura feather blades per post. Lasts for 2 posts, rest for 2 posts. █*LEVEL 1 ▬ She can only create 20 aura feather blades per post. Lasts for 2 posts, rest for 2 posts. █*LEVEL 2 ▬ She can only create 30 aura feather blades per post. Lasts for 3 posts, rest for 3 posts. █*LEVEL 3 ▬ She can only create 40 aura feather blades per post. Lasts for 4 posts, rest for 4 posts. █*DRAWBACKS ▬ Number of resting posts increases over levels. █ ▬ It goes without saying that someone that is good at dodging/fast/skilled at blocking can get out of the way of these blades, unless they are stationary. █ ▬ They cannot phase through/curve around/home-in on people and/or objects to get to desired target.
