Asha-Vermilion Luna

"I suggest that you call me Asha, it rolls off the tongue far better than my full name ever could."

- Asha-Vermilion Luna, to Xanadu and Mana "You've made a crippling mistake. Make it a second time, and I sure as hell won't let you make it a third!"

- Fireborn Asha to Lumen Felidae Asha-Vermilion Luna (usually referred to as Asha) is an original character created by Stormbyte84 for Team AEON. Asha is the leader of said team, which attends Forevermore Academy. She is the titular protagonist in Scorched Moon, Storm's current work-in-progress fan-fiction.

Appearance
Asha is a rather short girl, standing at under five feet tall and weighing just under one-hundred pounds. As a result of this, her figure is very lithe and petite, which also influences her agile and occasionally unorthodox fighting style. Due to her physique however, she is often vulnerable to blunt-force impacts that can breach her Aura. Asha's crimson hair is styled into twintails that reach just past her shoulders with a single black streak in her left tail. Her eyes are almond shaped and bright yellow in colour. During her transformation into Fireborn Asha, her eyes become dark orange with slit pupils. Asha's twintails also turn golden and are released from their bows, allowing the hair to flow freely.

Asha's main attire consists of a white shirt with gold buttons, over with she wears a black criss-cross tie held with another gold button. On top of that she wears a deep red waistcoat with black highlights and even more gold buttons. She has red framed glasses with the ability to polarize and two black bows to keep her twintails in place. For her lower body she has suit pants coloured the same as her waistcoat with similar black highlights and a black belt with a golden buckle. She also wears black platform shoes with gold trim. During combat she wears a black quiver at the back of her waist containing crossbow bolts.

During school Asha has to wear the Forevermore Academy uniform, but Asha's preference in clothing led her to wear the male version with the orange necktie replaced with her criss-cross tie.

At the beginning of the time when Teams AEON, FLUX and SHCK were sent on a joint mission to Tanaka's Rift, all members of all teams donned different attire. Asha's new outfit is composed of a dark green suit jacket with black buttons on the front and cuffs. Under the jacket she wears a white shirt and her old criss-cross tie. She has a knee-length dark green pleated skirt that leads to black leggings covering all of her legs and finally charcoal grey platform shoes. At this time her hair was cut short to collar height for both transformation efficiency and smart look. Out of her jacket pocket is a silver chain attached to her father's pocket watch, which has the Luna Bank emblem engraved into the back. Said emblem is also present on her breast pocket. Her quiver and glasses remain the same.

Personality
Asha is a very serious person who doesn't take shit from anyone. In all seriousness, she is a proud and stoic girl who because of her clothing and mannerisms can often be mistaken for a male, until people notice her voice and look closely at her figure. Asha speaks clearly and confidently, sometimes going as far as even sounding arrogant or cold. She has somewhat of a superiority complex, seeing herself as above her teammates due to being the heiress to a wealthy banking company (actually becoming the CEO just before the Tanaka arc) and her refined fighting style. If it wasn't for the harrowing experience with bandits and Anima as a child, she might've turned out way worse.

She prefers the company of the more serious and elite, taking quickly to Marin Ultra of FLUX and Hattori Shiro of SHCK. Despite this, Asha is always near Anima due to their close bond, with Anima adapting herself as personal bodyguard to Asha. Eventually Asha learned to enjoy the company of her partner Mana and Anima's partner Olivine, forming close bonds between the four girls.
