Characteristics

Background:

She was born in Vacuo and lived with her mother, father, and brother, Glas. She had a relatively normal childhood, until, one day, Glas started to distance himself from her. She started noticing that he would hang around less often, staying cooped up in the library or his room. After that, she played on her own, often getting herself into trouble because no one was there to look after her. Her parents had started paying more attention to Glas, and she tried to do whatever she could to gain their attention.

At that point, she first made contact with Tsuki. Liath had snuck in during one of her father's conferences, which just so happened to be with Tsuki's father that day. The two ended up taking over the call after their father's were done and talking for hours on end. They became incredibly close and shared everything with each other. It was years later when Tsuki's father was killed by Grimm. She immediately had her parents bring her to live with them in Vacuo.

Tsuki coming to live with them finally got Glas to come out and start closing the distance between them, which Liath was overjoyed about. They all attended the same Academy together, her and Tsuki helping each other make their first ever weapons, then graduated to Shade Academy, wherein the two of them, along with Glas and Aurelia, were put on a team together.

Personality: Loud ; Outgoing ; Loyal ; Short-tempered

Likes: Dry Meat ; Long walks ; Teasing  ; Killing Grimm

Dislikes: Sitting Still ; Overly Nice People ; The White Fang ; Running Away

Trivia:

Notes:

She started wearing a doctor's mask a few weeks after Tsuki did, because she didn't want Tsuki to go through any bullying alone. Though she has no need for the mask, it's become a habit to put it on anytime she goes out, even if Tsuki isn't with her.

She speaks casually to everyone she meets, even elderly or teachers, which got her in a lot of trouble back in the Academy before Shade. She was very relieved when she wasn't constantly getting punished for that once she started going to Shade Academy.

She's a little jealous of Tsuki, mostly because she wished she could think as carefree as she believes Tsuki does. After hearing the whole of what happened to Tsuki, Liath became very bitter towards people, getting angry at people for the smallest things because she blames them for what happened, even if they had no relation to it. She realizes it's misguided anger, but she reasons she can't exactly take it out on the world, so other people were the only other option.

She's extremely protective of Tsuki and Aurelia, after getting to know her better, and is constantly throwing herself between them and danger, even if she's at the end of using her Semblance. This has caused the others to worry greatly about her, but she always brushes it off, thinking it better her than them.

Hunter Extension

I) Weapons

Name: Gleaming Crusaders

Type: Dual Ballistic Battle Axes (DBBA)

Short Description: Two battle axes that rest on her back when not in use. Their blades are split into fours, with the barrel of a shotgun situated between them on each side, as well as a shotgun barrel pointing out from the top of them, all of which fire Fire Dust bullets.

II) Semblance

Name: Surge

Short Description: Whenever her Aura is running low or she starts to get too tired to continue fighting, she gets a 'surge' of energy, boosting her back to full strength, though only for a short period of time. Once it wears off, she is unable to move for a few hours due to the strain it puts on her body.

Visual effect: Her whole body glows and her tail uncurls

III) Combat Info

Class/Position: 3rd Year Student Huntress

Landing strategy: Digging her axes through whatever surface she passed to slow down her speed

Fighting Style: She charges head-first into every fight, aiming straight for any weak points that are immediately obvious to her. She'll push her opponent into a corner, keeping them from attacking back at full power, either waiting for them to tire out or going in for the kill right away.
