Due to being loyal to the clan for many centuries, the Ivaldi enjoy a status bordering on aristocracy, with each Ivaldi family head being the confidant of the Bileygr's more unsavory actions.
 * Background: Vermilion hails from the Ivaldi family, who serves as the longtime servants of the Bileygr clan, one of the high-ranking families from Mantle.

Vermilion is raised as a man for most of her childhood with her father honing her strength and skills. Whenever she fails a task, her father often blamed the fact that she was born wrong. Thus she grew to have a disdain for being born as a girl, beginning to view her own femininity as a weakness. She grew up larger in terms of muscle mass compared to her peers, and she's fairly proud of it.

She later enrolled to a combat school to hone her combat prowess and see if she's worthy of becoming the next in line to be the family head of the Ivaldi. She graduated with flying colors and attained a manner of recognition from her father.

Some time later she enrolled to Atlas Academy and worked together with Team VLUD (Pronounced Blood), acting as the leader. However, her partner, Lica Fenris, was particularly stubborn with her due to being associated with the Bileygr clan, who was responsible for the demolition of her village to create a business establishment. It doesn't help that due to her faunus heritage, she's not particularly well-liked in Atlas either.

This enmity between the two of them developed into a sort of internal rivalry and while Vermilion attempted to befriend Lica multiple times, it failed everytime and she just gave up on it.

They quietly tolerated each other's presence for the remainder of the school year, with their teammates Umbral Mylin and Diana Alsvid mostly preventing the two from outright harming each other.

After graduating, Lica went on to become an Atlas Specialist alongside Diana. Umbral travelled to Vale to return to his family while Vermilion began taking work from Atlesian companies as soon as she graduated.

A few years later, her father passed away, and with the only one in line to succeed him, she became the Ivaldi family head and now acts as the chief maid of the Bileygr.

Whenever she has the time, she takes on Huntress work, supposedly hunting down White Fang members that crop up around the borders of Mantle. At times, she butts heads with Atlas specialists who were also called in to investigate the situation. Lica was not among the specialists sent to the borders of Mantle.

Once in a while, the Bileygr will give Vermilion a task to eliminate a peculiar annoyances, such as journalists who poke their nose too closely on their businesses or those unfortunate enough to be witnesses to some of the more seedy things that the Bileygr do.

In exchange for her loyalty, the Bileygr ensures the "protection" of the Ivaldi family. It was then that Vermilion understood why the Ivaldi were the loyal lapdogs of such a corrupt clan.

One fateful day, two weeks after the fall of Vale, Rauðgrani, heir to the Bileygr, tasked Vermilion with a peculiar mission, sending her to a derelict Bileygr-owned district that's no longer in use. It was allegedly a White Fang hideout.

It was not. It was a group of refugees who were taking shelter in that area. Among them was Lica Fenris, who told Vermilion that she was being framed by the Bileygr as a White Fang spy. Lica begged her to leave her and the refugees alone, as they had nothing left to turn to.

Vermilion had no reason to believe her former comrade. Even if she was telling the truth.

Since then, Vermilion stayed loyal to the Bileygr, acting as their spear that ruthlessly strikes down any opposition.


 * Personality: Vermilion is a very no-nonsense person who believes in the idea that the strong are the ones who can leave their mark to on the world. However, she used to believe in an idealized version of that concept wherein you can help others gain the strength they seek.

Her final interactions with Lica Fenris turned her former ideals into something darker, as she now believes that the strong only thrive by kicking down those weaker than them.

However, on the outside, she appears relatively normal, if a bit tomboy-ish and confrontational, but mostly well-adjusted. Her upbringing made her well-mannered and polite to upper class citizens.

She maintains a cool head in heated situations and often acts as the mediator when two parties enter into conflict.

Vermilion hates girly things, and calling her beautiful is a quick way to get into her bad side.

 * Weapon Derivation: Spear, Rifle, Javelin

 * Is this considered weapon personification? Vermilion is technically the Gungnir >.>

B)Semblance

C)Combat Info
 * Name: Swaying One
 * Type: Conjuration
 * Purpose: Defensive
 * Short description: Forms a seven-layered barrier in the front and side of the user.
 * Activation Cue: Sounds of a metal scraping another metal as the shield manifests.
 * Range: Short
 * General limitations: Does not protect in the rear.
 * Passive ability:
 * Active ability: Tier One: Projects seven-layered barriers.
 * Active ability: Tier Two: The barriers turn into battering rams with spikes portruding from the front.

 * Dust interaction (Gravity): Creates four spiked barriers around the user that drags friend and foe towards them.
 * Notes:
 * Name is based on the english translation of the meaning of Gungnir.
 * Directly inspired by the golem Asgard from the Wild Arms series, whose main gimmick is creating a powerful barrier in front of him then using said barrier to beat your enemies down (Or in 3, YOU)
 * Reflection of Personality: Vermilion's ideals manifest in the form of shields.


 * Preferred Range: Mid-Long
 * Landing Strategy: Jams the spear segment to any nearby structure or tree to slow down her fall.
 * Fighting Style: Vermilion is incredibly strong and can move at average speed despite wearing armor that would slow down any normal woman. She's also deceptively fast, as her swings with her spear are strong enough that Ursai are blown away a fair distance. Due to her brutish strength, she's willing to take many hits without faltering, often ignoring her aura altogether when it's depleted, which is the result of her multiple battle scars.

When the enemy is too far, she can use the rifle segment to snipe at them. Combining it with the spear segment also increases it's overall power and impact at the cost of accuracy and stability. This is good for larger targets but overall useless when up against something very mobile.

In situations where she needs to break through an enemy's defense, she can throw the spear segment of her weapon as javelin. Even if it doesn't break through their guard, the sheer power of the impact is most likely enough to stagger even the hardiest Grimm. This leaves her defenseless for a while, as she has nothing but her brute strength and rifle to fall back on without her spear.

Her poor aura management means her punches are likely not to be effective against other humanoid enemies. They will knock down someone flat though, because of her sheer strength.
