<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/JWaA9kQ.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Umbra Sorrel<br/><strong>Nickname(s):</strong><br/><strong>Age:</strong>17<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/><strong>Race:</strong>Deer Faunus<br/><strong>Nationality:</strong>Menagerie<br/><br/><strong>Written Appearance:</strong>Umbra has pale blonde hair, parted by a pair of asymmetrical dark antlers. She has pale skin, and delicate features, giving her a an almost doll-like appearance, very much evoking the image of a prim and proper young lady, even a princes. Her hair is worn in one long braid in the back, with an additional braid on each side towards the front. her eyes are a vibrant pink. Neither especially tall nor short, she has a soft, delicate appearance which belies her athletic form and warrior's training.<br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong>Unknown<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>The words "every rose has it's thorn" would be quite apropos when talking about Umbra. Social, but withdrawn. Kind, but mistrusting. She initially seems the epitome of refined elegance, mature beyond her years. Yet, beneath that, she's holding a lot back. Every smile, while charming, is painted on. Her composure, while well practiced, is a mere facade. The question that remains, however, is what lies beneath.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>The Sorrel family was once a very prominent family among faunus. They held a position of respect and influence in Menagerie in the years following the great war. In the ensuing decades, however, their influence waned in the face of accusations of terrorist involvement. By Umbra's time, the family is only spoken of in murmurs and whispers, and very little is known about their recent activities.<br/><br/>The heiress to a family fallen from grace, little is publicly known of Umbra's earliest years. She began to make a name for herself in Menagerie for her natural gift for the family's unique semblance. This gift allowed her to be instrumental in helping to overcome a food shortage Menagerie was facing, as a result of a growing population combined with a lack of viable farmland. This managed to attract the attention of a number of combat schools, and she soon found herself enrolled in Sanctum.<br/><br/>Once enrolled, she met expectations and proved herself an astute student. She made many friends, though none that she could be described as being particularly close to. She made a positive impression on her teachers, being consistently polite and respectful. However, she always avoided any conversation regarding her family or her parents.<br/><br/>When it came time to move on to the next step of her education, she opted to move to Vale and apply to Beacon, and gave them very little reason to reject her.<br/><br/><strong>Emblem:</strong>https://i.imgur.com/wBuVpHR.jpg<br/><br/><strong>Weapon:</strong>Sombre Reverie<br/>Melee Form: A naginata posessing a long black shaft with a branching gold flowery design on it. The tsuba is circular in shape, with the inside being made to resemble the outline of flower petals blossoming outward from the core of the weapon. Shortly behind the tsuba is what appears to be a muzzle brake. There are several gold slots along the shaft, as well as a black and gold trigger mechanism and grip for the weapon's ranged mode, which also contains the switch that changes the weapon's form. It also appears to be segmented at certain points in the design, though they connect almost seamlessly in this mode.<br/><br/>Ranged Form: In this form, the blade section folds under the shaft, serving as a bayonet for close ranged defense, the shaft now ending with the muzzle brake. The other end folds in on itself as well, to create a more comfortable stock for Umbra to brace against her sholder. From the various gold slots along the shaft, lenses extend to act as a scope. The end result is a high powered rifle, with considerable effective range, accuracy and stopping power, but a slow rate of fire. In this form, the weapon has limited melee capabilities thanks to the bayonet, but lacks in melee attack range and versatility of attack options compared to the dedicated melee mode.<br/><br/>The ranged form is capable of utilizing armor piercing rounds for raw stopping power, or dust cartridges for added effects.<br/><br/><strong>Aura:</strong>Black x3<br/><br/><strong>Semblance:</strong><em>Botanomancy: </em>Umbra's semblance runs in her family. Every member of the Sorrel possesses the ability to manipulate plant life. This generally comes in one of two variations. They can either manipulate existing plant matter, or cause new plantlife to rapidly grow, assuming there is viable soil nearby. Umbra tends to put her own personalized spin on the technique, often focusing on very flowery (literally and metaphorically) techniques, and having a particular fondness for utilizing black roses.<br/><br/><strong>Fighting Style:</strong>Umbra's fighting style appears highly refined at first, with sweeping, elegant naginata techniques, and precise rifle shots. She focuses mostly on range and versatility, keeping her opponent at a distance until she finds an opening to strike. Once she spots an opening she can exploit, she hits it with everything she can, often seeking to overwhelm her foe with a sudden offensive burst. She'll often use her semblance to try and create an opening if none present themselves naturally.<br/><br/><strong>Strengths:</strong><br/><em>Patient:</em>Umbra displays considerable patience both in and out of battle, and none would accuse her of being too hasty.<br/><em>Graceful: </em>Umbra possesses a natural grace to her movements and her speech, her words often sounding almost musical. She's also proven to be a gifted dancer.<br/><em>Botany:</em>Perhaps as an extension of her semblance, Umbra has a gift for botany, and knows her way around plants of all sorts.<br/><em>Composure:</em>Exceedingly calm, even under fire, it's difficult to break the cervine woman's composure.<br/><em>Night Vision:</em>As a faunus, she naturally sees better in the dark than humans.<br/><br/><strong>Weakness:</strong><br/><em>Distant:</em>While not anti-social, and in fact quite friendly and conversational, she always seems to be holding something back, and that can make getting close to others' difficult.<br/><em>Broken Mask:</em>While it's extremely difficult to crack her composure, if anyone is ever able to manage it, it will likely not be pretty for anyone involved.<br/><em>Mistrustful of Humans:</em>The last thing Umbra would ever be is rude, but underneath the civility, she has trouble truly trusting humans.<br/><br/><strong>Character Theme:</strong><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Megitsune by Babymetal</div><div class="spoiler_body"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK3NMZAUKGw </div></div><br/><strong>Color Code:</strong>#636363<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Character Diary</div><div class="spoiler_body">Any relations you create with other characters go here.
