Ok, let's write what I have on Miss Headmistress before I go to bed. I can wake up to the replies. Criticism is a good alarm clock.

Name: -Still haven't got one. Would be very grateful for a good resource on Arabian names, or a good Arabian dictionary -

Species: Human Age: late forties Gender: Female

Handedness: Ambidextrous but after loosing her right arm and getting a prosthetic she relies more on her left.

Appearance: I still haven't figured her outfit in my head but I'm thinking something based off a niqab or dupatta.

She has dark purple eyes and shoulder length maroon hair. Scars on the right side of her face that run from the cheek under her eye to the back of her head. Her hair is shaved on that part. Her neck is also scarred. To the sides there are two visible metallic like spots that form a laryngophone/Silent speech interface that allows her to speak. Her lips are asymmetrical, with the bottom right half of them being less thick and of a darker colour. Her chest is also scarred and her right breast is missing.

Occupation: headmistress of a Vacuoian Combat School.

Background: Born and raised in Atlas, she lead a fairly normal and uneventful life, attending combat school and then successfully entering Atlas Academy. Upon graduation she joined the Atlas Special Ops.

A handful of years upon graduation, she was sent as part of a scout group to evaluate an area outside of the borders of Atlas as a possible kingdom expansion. The area was under consideration as it had been repeatedly in use as a temporary settlement by a nomad group for years. Said group was currently stopping by there.

However, a few days into the expedition, the geologist in charge of conducting the ground studies awoke a group of subterranean Eldritch Abomination level Grimms while drilling the soil to evaluate it's viability for construction.

Chaos ensued and the group opted for retreating. OC and some nomads were however unable to make the run. Eventually, in a clearing of the fight against the Grimm, OC takes a leap of faith to save herself and camouflages under the snow, activating her semblance to appear dead.

The next morning she awakens herself and is found by a surviving nomad who gives her on the run first aid and carries her to the nearest Atlesian safe spot. She spends several months in recovery and goes through several re-constructive surgeries. Her right arm heals but retains limited and painful mobility, so she opts to have it replaced by a robotic prosthetic.

Upon release from the hospital, she is granted honourable discharge.

She is left suffering from Posttraumatic stress disorder after the experience and chooses to move to Vacuo to distance herself from it. Adopting an entire new name and emblem.

She settles down near the north-east border and eventually takes up a position as a combat instructor at a local combat school. She gains notoriety after proposing and successfully organising a class program for civilian training against Grimm.

After this, she is promoted to vice-headmistress. In said position she ups the schools ranking escalating it into one of the top five options for students aiming to enter Shade. It's during this time that she gets her speaking aid, though she still prefers using sign language.

Eventually she becomes the headmistress upon the retirement of her predecessor.

While psychologically better than when she left Atlas, OC still has anxiety episodes associated with her near death experience that generally hold her back from taking Grimm extermination missions. She might accept to take part as companion only to well known colleagues.

Personality: Before her near death experience, she was arrogant and prideful, often getting herself in harms way in search of opportunities to prove her combat proficiency. She was hostile and often saw others as competitors, not being much of a team player. Though she also had a strong sense of duty and righteousness.

After it, her personality switches drastically. While at first sight she might come across as distant, cold, stoic and apathetic; she is actually just reserved and mostly a warm, caring and compassionate person. She is straightforward but affable.

If addressed about her scars or life before Vacuo, her reply may vary greatly depending on the circumstances and who asks the question.

Weapons: I have not much clue on this one, I was thinking something like a high calibre sniper rifle with a sword for close quarters combat.

Though she also fights doing the Ren aura thing so...

Semblance

Name: HyperSomnia

Type: Aural/Physical

-Purpose: Defensive

-Short description: OC can reduce her life signals and suppress her aura to non detectable levels, to enter a state of apparent death. During it, she remains concious of her surroundings and is capable of registering touch, sound and smell. She can awaken at will.

Can be used to slow down the effects of the spreading of poison or bleeding out, but it's a double edged sword, as staying too long in this state can also kill her. The healthier when entering it, the longer it can safely be made last.

She can put others in this state, too. Though it's impractical as an offensive move as, if the person is resisting, the effect requires longer physical contact to take place and wears off faster.

-Range: Personal/Short
