 * 3) Characteristics:


 * Background:


 * The wealthy and respected Lisianthus family has lived in Vale for more than a century, stretching back to the Great War. As such they have strong traditions that they uphold with utmost importance. One of these traditions is a line of inheritance that stretches through the firstborn male child. The current generation, composed of twins Vira and Rowan Lisianthus, children of the previous firstborn Rosso Lisianthus.
 * Rowan Lisianthus was the golden child. He was extremely smart and talented in various academic fields. However, despite not being physically weak, Rowan lacks a lot of self-confidence. He was naive, and extremely nice and idealistic.
 * Vira, on the other hand, was reserved, and didn’t really talk to other people. She was often ignored and deprived of love, leading her to become defensive and closed off. She would lash out at others, with her only companions being books.
 * One day, after a particularly draining day at their fancy private school when she was 11, she saw some older boys harassing her brother. After all the events in her miserable life, she snapped. Despite her stature, Vira beat the other boys half to death, even breaking one’s ribs and fractured another boy’s skull.
 * She was almost immediately expelled from the school. Only her family’s name and generous donations kept the school from expelling her. Her parents scolded her, and decided to punish her by sending Vira to a boarding school for “young ladies.” Her brother stepped in and defended her, and proposed sending her to combat school instead.
 * Before she left, her brother gave her pair of butterfly earrings.
 * At first, she didn’t really see the point, but after attending Signal Academy for a year, she felt an immense debt towards her brother. Fighting was perfect for her, allowing her to redirect her spite in an effective way. She put large amounts of effort into learning to fight properly, in hopes of finally being worth something. Some even believed she was a child prodigy, due to her quick improvement. She made a friend, Arylide Munroe, who would later join her team at Beacon.
 * Every year, when she came home from combat school, she became gradually more open and happy. She was still reserved, but was more “calm” reserved than “lonely” reserved. Her relationship with her brother improved, and her parents began to become interested in her worth as a Huntress.
 * After 4 years of primary combat school, Vira and Arylide went to Beacon Academy. She ended up joining Team ESVA, lead by Estival Chardon, and developed feelings for him. Her fellow members included Arylide and the only other male member, Spinel Drake.
 * At Beacon, her relationship with Estival was amicable but strained, and after a long senior year of confrontation and awkwardness, she got over him and graduated with no regrets or hard feelings.
 * Since her departure, her brother had since used the massive family fortune to invest in promising businesses that would benefit the entirety of Remnant, like humanitarian organizations. His instinct had led to several successful ventures, and had grown the family fortune significantly. However, he had also earned himself several dangerous enemies in the business community. Fearing for his life, and in gratitude for sending her to the Huntsmen Academies, she hired herself as his bodyguard.
 * Currently, she and Arylide are trying to balance a relationship, while both are managing careers as a bodyguard and a Huntress respectively. They try to see each other as often as possible, but both have demanding jobs that take up time.
 * Since the fall of Beacon, her brother has moved operations farther away from the Grimm overrun Vale city, but they still mainly operate in the kingdom of Vale.
 * Personality: Vira is a calm, reserved person who generally doesn’t speak, which many people assume is due to shyness. However, she is a very good listener, and knows her friends very well. She’s often prone to violence when someone talks down about people she cares about. Vira has a self-sacrificial nature, due to being second to her brother for most of her life. She believes the lives of others are much more important than her own.
 * Misc Traits: When her hair is down in casual dress, she has a habit of adjusting her hair Homura Akemi style.
 * Likes: Reading, thinking, quiet.
 * Dislikes: Being disturbed for no reason, excessive physical violence against the defenseless, the “the strong survive and the weak perish” philosophy.
 * 4) Trivia


 * Notable Relationships:


 * Rosso and Celeste Lisianthus: Her parents viewed their children as nothing more than investments. They cared for their children as much as one would care for a prized horse. Vira’s parents heavily favored her twin brother, due to his status as first male child. Upon being informed of her violent tendencies, they shipped her off to combat school to “put that violence to use.”
 * Rowan Lisianthus: She loves her brother nearly to the point of obsession. From birth, he was the only person who genuinely cared about her. He also helped her go to combat school by convincing their parents. She eventually is hired as his bodyguard. Vira believes that if one person can make the world a better place, it’s her brother, and devotes her life to his cause.
 * Estival Chardon: Vira’s massive completely unsubtle crush on Estival used to be the worst kept secret among the team. He also happened to be one of the only people taller than Vira. Estival was logical and clever, but not without the compassion he needed to understand his teammates. He was the embodiment of the perfect leader. However, his massive ego often caused her to be irrationally stubborn. Despite this, he never realized Vira’s feelings, and never saw her as more than a little sister. After Beacon, she still kept in touch with him, but they really didn’t meet up anymore.
 * Arylide Munroe: At first, they were just close friends throughout combat school who understood each other’s struggles. Arylide was optimistic and kind, doting over everyone, and always trying to make others feel better. After confiding in her, and the aforementioned awkward senior year, Vira and Arylide decided to pursue a relationship.
 * Skills: Took basic piano lessons at her fancy private school as a child. Can play slightly higher than a beginner level.
 * Allusion: The X-Men’s Psylocke.
 * Notes:


 * Rosso means red, and Celeste is a shade of blue. Red + Blue = Purple, because hahahhahaha I'm so funny.
 * Rowan trees can grow red berries.
 * Estival means related to SUMMER(S), and chardon is French for thistle. A thistle flower is a purple blossom. Also because I like making completely unsubtle references, the thistle flower is the national flower of SCOT(T)land
 * Arylide is a shade of yellow.
 * Spinel is a blue gemstone.
 * She has corrective lenses due to bad reading habits (i.e. improper lighting, excessive use of eyes) that she gained as a child. She didn't realize how bad her eyesight was until midway through primary combat school. Her parents paid for them, but now she buys them herself.
 * Gives the best birthday gifts, due to being disgustingly rich and also because she really knows her friends well.
 * Huntsman Extension


 * A) Weapon


 * Name: Carnwennan
 * Wielder: Vira Lisianthus
 * Maker/Smith: Vira Lisianthus
 * Classification: Multi-Purpose Dust Dagger
 * Weapon Derivation: Carnwennan, from Matter of Britain.
 * Form 1 Design: A simple, long, dagger with a rotary chamber that use Dust. Requires constant refills. Slightly shorter than a sword. The Dust controls take form in a small trigger that when pressed, switches the Dust selection to the next vial. Since switching Dust in combat while dual wielding is usually inconvenient, she either chooses the Dust beforehand or has to dispel her katana.
 * Form 1 Aesthetics: Leather hilt, iron Dust cylinder, gold embellishments, silver blade.
 * Dust Usage: Uses all four mainwheel elements, ice, and cyan.
 * Notes:


 * Similar to Weiss’s weapon, but in dagger form.
 * Vira originally heavily relied on it, but slowly adjusted to using her Semblance instead, and training in Aura regeneration. Currently, for Grimm fighting she prefers her Semblance with only the Dust contribution from Carnwennan, but against human/Faunus opponents she uses her dagger in conjunction with a longer blade from her Semblance.
 * Allusion (sort of?) to Psylocke’s British origins.
 * Similar to length and weight of a wakizashi blade. Used in conjunction with a katana from her Semblance for Dust utility.
 * B) Semblance


 * Name: Psi Arsenal
 * User: Vira Lisianthus
 * Introduction: Vira can create weapons out of Aura, that have different costs. Upon dispelling the weapon, it will return an amount of Aura. The longer the weapon was used, the less Aura returned. If the set duration runs out, the weapon will automatically dispel with no Aura returned. Creating more complicated weapons, like guns is usually not viable because of the complex mechanics. She prefers to “copy” existing weapons or weapon she has seen because it doesn’t require as much of her imagination. Once she has created a weapon for the first time, she can immediately summon it again, exactly the same, with much more ease. Vira often spends long periods of time focusing on creating a weapon so she can use it later. She can also determine the strength of the weapon, for instance she can create a dagger that is somewhat intangible so that it will disorient or stun instead of killing like a regular blade (though if she does this she has to telekinetically control it instead of wielding it). She usually only depends on one or two weapons because she knows how to use them most effectively. Weapons can be controlled telekinetically or wielded.
 * Range: Medium-Long
 * Type: Conjuration
 * Purpose: Offense
 * Visual Cue: The weapons glow red-violet. Upon summoning them, she will focus on the area where she wants the weapon to form, and it will appear as if it is being “unsheathed,” from left to right. A butterfly shaped aura will manifest around her eyes. If she fully focuses on controlling her blades, her eyes will glow red-violet as well.
 * Tier N:


 * 1: Can create an intangible amorphous aura blob.
 * 2: Can manifest a weapon for a short amount of time, barely tangible (will stun.)
 * 3: Can manifest a weapon for any duration of time, kind of tangible (inflicts a stronger stun).
 * 4: Can fully control the tangibility and duration of a weapon.
 * General Limitations: This Semblance, despite what it looks like, is not Unlimited Blade Works. Even manifesting the weapons is difficult. It has a cap on number of weapons she can create. Controlling more than 3 “large weapons” (sword, axe) is mentally draining, and more than 5 “small weapons” (daggers, knives) is as well. Even summoning a weapon for 3-4 seconds will only have about a 70% Aura return. Also, no matter what, the weapon will always return less Aura than it originally took. Each weapon must take anywhere from 5 to 15 seconds of full concentration to create, and the Aura costs means that there is a maximum limit of weapons she can create. The weapons cannot be wielded by anyone else, and if someone attempts to touch it they will be hurt instead. The weapons are not indestructible. They will “shatter” upon experiencing force equal to the amount of Aura they originally took.
 * Applications: She can create a blade that conveniently “unsheathes” itself into someone or something that is caught off-guard for a quick and easy kill. Can also create large shields to protect, but it costs a lot of Aura so she usually saves this for emergencies.
 * Current Weapons:


 * An katana-style blade. 20% Aura cost. Most often used in conjunction with regular weapon to dual wield, similar to the katana-wakizashi dual wielding method used by samurai. Used extremely often, can be summoned in half a second.
 * A kunai blade, can create multiple kunais for throwing. She also can summon them to pin enemies down. 4% Aura cost. 2 seconds.
 * European dagger for melee combat. 10% Aura cost. 4 seconds.
 * Vira is currently learning how to wield a European-style bow. Bow is 15% Aura cost, each arrow is about 4%. 8 seconds.
 * Battle axe (for intimidation or just to cut through something.) 13% Aura cost. 7 seconds.
 * Bo staff (for training, or just sparring for fun.) 12% Aura cost. 6 seconds.
 * Circular shield (radius is determined) 25%-50% Aura cost.
 * Notes:


 * Heavily inspired by allusion.
 * Reflection of Character: Her natural instinct to fight and protect others.
 * C) Combat Info


 * Preferred Range: Short-Medium
 * Landing Strategy: If there is anything available, she will use Carnwennan and her Semblance to stab into something to slow the fall, but if she’s free falling, then she’ll resort to wind Dust. Sometimes she’ll use her semblance to create platforms, but only when she knows she doesn’t need her full Aura.
 * Fighting Style: Vira is a very technical fighter, focusing on skill and strategy. Each of her strikes is precise, and almost always makes contact. She considers every factor before moving, and is willing to use her physical strength to great limits. She works well within a team, functioning as a strategist. Due to her Semblance, she is decently versed in using other weapons besides her main swords.


 * In addition, if she is fighting Grimm, she will still use her katana, but will often summon shorter, smaller blades, to quickly eradicate Grimm telekinetically.
 * Civilian Extension


 * I) Day to Day Life


 * Expanded Occupation/Business Details: Her current schedule revolves around her brother’s, waking before he does, accompanying him to events or meetings. On break days, she prefers to spend time with her former teammates, or curled up with the latest bestselling book. She also likes to relieve stress by accompanying Arylide on Grimm subjugation.
 * Certifications: Graduation from Beacon Academy.
