Linnéa Capillo

Name: Linnéa Capillo

Age: 19

Appearance
Blonde hair in a messy side braid tied into a bun with bobby pins, amaranth pink eyes, lightly tanned skin

5’3”, 107 lbs, somewhat thin build, small chest

A deep purple and pale cotton-candy-colored double-layer tank top with slim-fit blue jeans and pink/white sneakers. Her twinflower emblem can be found in gold on a ring she has on the index finger of her left hand, a gift from her mother on her 17th birthday as a good luck charm when heading off to Beacon.

Personality
A bit of a firecracker, she loves to be a buddy with her teammates and friends and often stands to be a bit of a matchmaker amongst her friends (and might’ve had something to do with her Semblance). She’s generally so concerned about others that she often overlooks her own problems even when they’re dire, and aims to please. Even when she’s injured, she will take a bullet for someone else’s sake just to honor her father’s memory, and she has before. While she likes seeing the glass as half full, she’s a bit of a realist and her only real indulgences for herself are her matchmaking (and fanfiction she writes) and food binges when she’s alone.

Backstory
Her father was a police officer in the city of Vale while her mother was a primary/elementary school teacher. When Linnéa was 9 years old, her father was killed in a shootout with one of the most notorious robbers of those few years. The event didn’t traumatize the girl, but rather inspired her to live up to her father’s memory and to protect people. Realizing that just the police force wouldn’t be sufficient for her, she decided to become a Huntress so she could have free range and liberty to protect anyone and everyone she met. She sometimes visibly bears the scars of her exploits before she went to Beacon and fought off Grimm with only basic training. She paired with Nickelette during the initiation, and the two got along much better to start with than Daniel and David did at first. She’s been casually dating David since 2nd year because she thought he was cute, and their relationship continues into their 3rd year.

Weapon
A riding-crop and whip combination, where a trigger releases the elastic material inside the weapon to form the whip along with the Dust energy from either of two cartridges, which can be used separately or together depending on whether the trigger for each is engaged.

Aura
Is magenta in color and at about an average amount for someone her age. She has yet to learn most of the functions of it, but is steadily improving with it due to her constant work with her Semblance, and by extension, her Aura.

Semblance
Nicknamed “Orbital Coalescence,” Linnéa’s Semblance allows her to places a pair of runes on two different things, and the two things will orbit around one another until they eventually reach a center point and impact one another, cancelling the effect. If one object is heavier/larger than the other, the lighter/smaller of the two will be affected moreso. The effect is stronger the closer the targets are, and only properly effective force-wise within a radius of 90 feet or less. Gravity or Wind Dust can strengthen the effects and the reach. The easiest way to do it is to touch the two things in question, but it can be done remotely with extra effort, exertion, and a risk of failure.

Trivia

 * The word Linnéa comes from a genus of the twinflower of the same name, which has a pale pinkish-white flower. Capillo is an Italian term referring to a thin person, with the word literally translating to “a hair.”
 * Her Semblance is loosely based on a meteorological phenomenon known as Fujiwhara effect, which occurs when two nearby cyclonic vortices orbit each other and close the distance between the circulations of their corresponding low-pressure areas, usually seen in hurricanes. It's also a slight joke related to her name referencing the “twinflower”, since the runes she places are an identical pair with the same twin-flower emblem on both.
