Next up is Phantomlink959 and Sylvia Waldgrun-Ectaris.

1) Basic info: 15/20. Taking away a point for every name I had to google the cnr (I just mentioned that didn’t I?)…also did you purposely mashed Sylvie with Silvia or is that a typo?...regardless all I can find is a lot of references to trees and forest which bring to mind green and brown, colors that do come up on her physical design. 2 points for no particle effects on her aura or semblance, missing one would have been fine, missing both isn’t.

2) Appearence: 16/20. Good height for a mouse inspired character, but lack of outfits, and pretty plain ones at that, don’t help her stand out as a character. The headband would have been a saving grace, but you failed to mention a color for it or even a size, so I’m taking points off for that as well.

3) Characteristics: 30/30. Again not much to complain here, a civilian with aura unlocked is a concept I wish we would see explored more in the show itself for one, and even doing it for the sole purpose of checking out her semblance is a concept I find fascinating.

4) Weapon: Relocating points to semblance and penalizing you twice for it as a result.

5) Semblance: 12/20. No visual effect on the semblance loses you 4 points. I know this kind of semblance requires subtlety but there is such a thing as subtle cues that can be hidden, like markings on the body, or an audio cue that can’t be heard by every animal. Also it not being able to be used offensively makes little sense to me, as a semblance that calms down opponents can severely decrease the combat performance of certain characters while increasing others. If she is the one that refuses to uses it offensively, that’s a flaw of the character, not the semblance, removing 2 points for that as well. Has way to many limitations for what it does, with reducing her protective ability being overkill, so I’ll remove 2 points for that as well.

6) Combat info: Relocating points to trivia and penalizing you twice for it as a result.

7) Trivia: 6/10. Her mother and village are not referenced here despite being big parts of her backstory, removing one point for each, which get’s doubled due to not having any combat traits.





All of it combined gives Phantomlink959 and Sylvia Waldgrun-Ectaris a like from me, but only 79 points points. Would petition to get her in canon if you cleaned up my complaints and work on giving design more stuff to help her design stand out.
