First  up is SpiritedDreaming and Ciela Rezarta.

1) Basic info: (17/20). Two points are missing because no part of her name is linked to the physical traits of the character. Although there are some characters that skip this rule, most don’t. The other point is because cangaroo rats hold water by slowing heir metabolism, while your character is never mentioned to slow down at all, nor does she have a job that would allow her to.

2) Appearance: (18/20). Love the fact she is really short for her age, although the amount of brown you gave her kind of screwed you over earlier. Taking out 2 points from the outfits because you forgot to mention the location of the holes where her tail can come out…yes I can deduce where quite easily, but I can also deduce how a character’s name follows the cnr, that doesn’t mean I won’t deduct points if the explanation isn’t given.

3) Characteristics: (30/30). Think the background could have been made smaller, but that’s not really a complaint. I love that you used Vacuo as a less discriminatory place given what we’ve seen of canon while still acknowledging it, which does ties the entire concept of the character well, and unlocking her aura in order to better protect her from fans is also a great concept I didn’t consider.

4) Weapon: (8/10). Awesome design, well fitting and it ties to the character perfectly. Shielding dust made me cringe as a name, but since we don’t have canon info on dust (and no one at that convention seem to understand the concept of non spoiler questions) I guess that name will do for now. I can however point out that instead of extending, the roller blades could have collapsed from the soles, which would have saved space, and that putting…shield…dust… on boots means the shield is at its strongest at her soles and weakest at her head, so I’ll remove some points for those.

5) Semblance: (7/10). Nice touch with it being undiscovered. I imagine if I didn’t make the semblance mandatory this wouldn’t be here but what can you do. I will remove points because it has no knockback effect, so as a semblance it won’t be tremendously useful on anyone that isn’t a civilian, and all canon semblances are seen to be more useful than that.

6) Combat info: (5/5). Fits the character to a T

7) Trivia: (5/5). Excellent use of side characters to build her character

All of it combined gives SpiritedDreaming and Ciela Rezarta a like from me and a solid 90 pts. Would petition to get her in canon if you cleaned up my complaints.
