Next up is our….final? entry, Cyrania de Bergerac with Liadan Anamcha. Let’s see if the best was saved for last.

1) Basic info: 20/20. Wow a spirited reference in the name…well at least you are aware what you’re up against. You actually started the tail at the tail bone and got her name in her appearance. Fantastic job.

2) Appearance: 18/20. That’s a bit too tall for my taste, but on average a squirl will be taller than a mouse so I won’t remove a point. A bit odd that you made the tail a different color from the hair, specially since you gave her grey eyes, but I’m not one to talk with my hair so I’ll let this slide, what I won’t let slide is the lack of description on the hair in terms of length and placement, minus 1. No mention how the tail fits into the outfits also means minus one for both of them.

3) Characteristics: 25/30 The old saved by the closet jig…makes about as much sense now as it did in Taken where the daughter evaded the captors by hiding under the bed…wait, no they searched the place and found her, like what should have happened to Liadan. Her managing to evade the wf auricles is also hard to believe if they wanted her dead bad enough o put a bounty on her head and send up to 10 people at a time to find her. And saved by the bell by not Liam Neesom… The amount of conveniences here means that I will have to remove points, but I can appreciate that you tied it with her personality fluently and well. Background still costs you 5 points.

4) Weapon: 8/10 Iroh is pretty well off to accept a random student in his life so I can accept the use of dust, particularly with the simpler design when compared to Weiss’s rapier, forgot to mention the dust types though so that’s minus 2.

5) Semblance: 8/10. I have a personal gripe with these types of abilities, mostly because I could never quite understand why an intangible character can still touch the still tangible ground instead of sinking into to ground…you did mention she was still effected by gravity after all, but I’ll hold my tongues since it’s not the most outlandish thing I accepted as a superpower. It lasts far too long though, even half a second could be enough if you become intangible while the opponent tries to block an attack him through his guard, and you plan to let her do it for thirty minutes? Minus 2.

6) Combat info: 5/5. You and I do not share the same definition of short duration, but I won’t remove points for that.

7) Trivia: 5/5. No point in mentioning dead relationships I guess. Interesting choice of reference though.

All of that gives Cyrania de Bergerac  with Liadan Anamcha 89 pts.
