3) Characteristics

Background: Born in Beacon, Laintaana was under the safety of its walls since birth. Her parents travelled abroad as huntsmen, so she lived with her aunt whenever her parents were gone. At a young age she grew restless and yearned to explore the world. Through her teenage years she went on multiple missions with her parents, being "homeschooled" by them instead of going to a combat school. She was enrolled into Beacon Academy by recomendation of her parents. As she travelled so much, she had few friends. When she joined a team in the school (Team SALT) she was energetic and excited to meet people. This gave the team the wrong first impression of her, and they took some time to accept her. Despite this initial rejection she wasn'yt disuaded. Beacon Academy felt like the first stable home she'd had that she didn't want to leave. This is why the fall of Beacon Academy struck a blow with Laintaana. She resolved to fight for the Academy and got her team to do the same. This is the point my fan fiction will start at.

Personality: She is very talkative and pressing. Many people first see her as rude, but she is just very truthful and blunt. She seems to be able to get along with every one. Though she is almost always cheery, if enraged she will become what others call The Fang. She becomes brash and menacing in this state, and very unreasonable.

Misc Traits: If she is flustered, she will pull her bandana off and twirl it around.

Likes: Social outings with close friends, warm weather, helping others with their issues, knowing everything people are hiding

Dislikes: Short jokes, heights, large open spaces, and bullys (she will become The Fang when her friends are picked on)

4) Trivia

Notable Relationships: Aam Baagh (younger brother), Skye Vellala (Team leader and friend from childhood), Autumn Crimsonne (Team member and secret crush), Tera Chocoa (team member), Koyala Baagh (Mother), Barry Mahony (father) Jade Flora (Aunt)

Skills: (Non-combat related activities the character has some degree of mastery over, such as Weiss’s singing and piano skills)

Allusion: None

Notes: Team SALT is full of members with conflicting personalities. Laintaana could be seen as the one that holds the group together in terms of general peace.

Hunter Extension

A) Weapon

Name: Aag and Karee ("Aag" is hindi for fire, and "karee" is curry)

Classification:

Short Description: She wields a pair of bagh nakhs. They are essentially brass knuckles with spikes. The spikes can be launched and recalled by strings connected to them. They can also be used as a grapplling gun of sorts.

B) Semblance

Name: Hearth

Short Description: The area around her becomes physically warm when her semblance is actived. People in the area with hostile intent become irritablly hot, though not enough to harm them. Allies feel comforted, cheerful, and their morale is boosted. The semblance steadily drains her aura as she maintains the effect. If she focuses, she can cause a few people in the area to feel very lax and they become open to suggestions to a degree based on mental strength. Stronger-willed or wary people are unaffected.

Activation Cue: An orange glow emanates from her.

Reflection of Personality: She cares deeply for her friends, and will become The Fang towards her enemies. She can affect people accordingly through this semblance.

C) Combat Info

Preferred Range: close

Landing Strategy: Grappling and clawing at walls.

Fighting Style: She attacks swiftly with many well placed punches. The spikes of her weapon strike vital areas. What she lacks in force she makes up for in agility.
