About Me

Favorite Color: Soft Brown, Gold
Weapon of Choice:
Brazen Sun
Arm-shield. It normally rests as an armguard that she wears on her left arm. It can open up to a round shield about a foot and a half in diameter. It's ranged function is that of a compound crossbow, capable of launching thick bolts or smaller bursts that more resemble needles.

Auras/ Semblances:
Aura: Recovering Heal
Her aura predominantly heals small wounds such as scratches and bruises. Greater injuries (such as shattered bones and internal trauma) will require medical attention. May be more useful with practice and advanced training.

(Undiscovered) Semblance: Force
Her semblance echos nature, allowing her to borrow the strength of the earth as long as she has contact with the ground. Should she wish it, she might stand immobile, absorbing the thrust of incoming impact and transferring it to the ground.
Damage is not removed despite conducting the momentum of incoming attacks to the ground. When this semblance is being used, she must touch the ground, or be in some way grounded. She either evades incoming attacks or stands her ground.
Offensive applications of this are more in her own forward momentum. When she is connected to the ground, she could gain force and momentum enough to bowl through enemies and targets in a line, throwing them aside. However, one does not simply turn an avalanche aside. When 'stampeding' she can only charge forward. Turns are extremely slow.

Semblance - Wall
When fueled by aura, her shield's range stretches, more effectively protecting her and others immediately behind her. Following the curve of the shield, her aura 'blooms' outward, acting as a larger shield and following the shape and outline of the original shield. Maximum range for this energy shield is five to six feet in diameter (which includes the weapon itself). Physical contact with the energy has the same effect as having struck the solid shield. Of course, striking Cora is as simple as dodging the shield. Without her shield, this projection can be thrown upward, but it is easier to bring into being using her shield as a guide. The non-shield energy wall is much flatter. Once thrown up, it cannot be moved, unlike the one 'fastened' to the shield.

When combined, you have a moving wall that runs with the force of a rhino and with the directness of one. This can effectively stall beowulves, match the strength of an ursa, and be an effective way to distract a death stalker. Naturally, it has its limitations. Only the round shield can be moved, though one might argue that the flat shield is stronger.

Bio:
Cora was an orphan and remembers a distant time when she was on her own. Around the age of six, she was finally turned over to the care of an orphanage, with no knowledge of her parents. In that place, one of the first who took her side was a Faunas deer, also displaced among people in the care of the orphanage. He was barely half a year her junior.
He encouraged her to higher things and she protected him. Because both were underprivileged orphans, one well off individual sponsored the children and gave them an opportunity to the education of their choice. Cora chose to become a huntress, hoping to improve the conditions of safety for all, particularly those of her brother, who did not feel brave enough, or strong enough, to take on a life such as being a hunter, though it was one of his most favored dreams. Instead, he chose another career opportunity, one that was safer and that kept him from harm and to build their hometown from within. She studied hard, hoping to live a life he would be proud of.
