Verdelha Foudre

Ulanda Foudre is a second year Beacon student who strives to become a huntress and fulfill her true dream of touring the world as a Pop Idol.



Appearance
Ulanda is a beautiful 18 year old second year, whose appearance stands out for both it’s prominence and it’s fame. She has medium length milky white hair in a bobbed style, decorated with a small hair pin resembling a Spade-shaped martini glass. Her hair outlines her peerless skinned face and electric blue eyes. She has a hourglass figure with only a small curve to her body (She’s a size C cup).

Ulanda’s attire consist of a long sleeve cloud gray turtleneck with a electric blue patterned skirt which goes to her mid thigh. The skirt is decorated with white patterns of Spades and lightning. With this she wears milky white stocking material pants and blue dressy shoes. When she goes into battle, she changes in her dressy shoes for leather boots of the same color for more footing. Along with this she dawns leather shoulder guards of the same color and design of her skirt.

Personality
Ulanda is one in the same when on stage and in normal life; She’s the type that everyone strives to be but can’t. She’s smart, kind, beautiful, and fashionable. She’s friendly and always willing to talk to people, whether it be fans or fellow students. When she’s around others she is very well mannered, and even around friends she’s only a little laid back. She stands by her morals but will try something new, especially if it’s for the their idol group performances. When she’s in battle, Ulanda still retains her typical attitude but is a fierce fighter. She’s determined and cunning, thinking ahead to her next move. She looks out for her teammates, working as closely with them as she does on stage.

Weapons and abilities
Heaven’s Lighting: Ulanda's weapon; Heaven's Lighting is a P90 sub machine gun that shift into a one and/or two handed bearded axe. The axe head is a hardened titanium alloy mixed with lightning dust. When she lands a blow, the lightning dust will cause a shock with each impact. The handle can extend and collapse, making the bearded axe form either one handed or two handed. The Bearded axe can also transform into a SMG which resembles and functions like a P90. The SMG form uses lightning-dust rounds and a standard clip can hold 50 rounds.

Semblance: Lightning-Step; Ulanda’s semblance. Lightning Step allows her to dash at Mach 3 three times in a row. Each dash can span from 5 feet to 10 yards, giving her an advantage in battle, but she has to think carefully since each time the semblance is used she must dash three times. This semblance is somewhat draining on Ulanda, but she is still able to use it several times in battle before wearing out.

Aura: Ulanda's aura is White, being either milky or bright depending on her mood.

Backstory
Ulanda Foudre was born to a populous family in Atlas. Her father was a big business man and her mother was an important corporate manager. This made for distanced relationships between Ulanda and her parents, whether the be out for many days on business trips to even the occasional nights when everyone is around the table. Though the lack of contact and the distanced relationship with her parents made her sad, she didn’t let it bring her down and affect how she looked at life.

As she started school, she focused hard on studies and made lots of friends. She was always kind, being nice to anyone she saw as a friend. Along with this she was one of the more beautiful girls in school, making her one of the popular girls. Ulanda knew that people saw her as popular, but she didn’t let that change who she was. She continued to be herself throughout primary school, learning the morals of a well mannered girl. Though she went through her days being herself and working hard, she felt a gap in what she wanted to do. The idea of wanting to sing always interested her, but a need to do something more made her think. It was one day that during the school day that the student body got some visitors that would spark an idea on how to follow up on her dreams.

All the students were excused from their classes, Ulanda from her choir class, to see some Huntsman and huntresses who wanted to tell them about their jobs. It was after a riveting speech about exploring the world and fighting evil that Ulanda would be able to help others and still go for her big dream of singing professionally. It was her last year of primary school that she signed up to attend combat school in the main city of Atlas.

She was 12 years old when Ulanda started attending combat school. Like her education before, she excelled and climbed the popularity chain. She was one of the most well recognized students by her looks and grades, though her skills weren’t the best. She didn’t let this diminish her desire to sing around the world though, and trained hard to get her skills up. It was around the beginning of her second year that her fighting skills caught up with her other talents. It was around this time that she created her weapon Heaven’s Lighting. She named her weapon to remind her to never forget her goal.

After two more years of hard training, education, and singing in her spare time, Ulanda finished primary combat school and had the choice of which school to apply to for further training. She had a choice between the four major schools in the four kingdoms, and after a hard decision, she decided on Beacon. After applying and being accepted, she moved to Beacon. In her first year she was paired with four other girls to form Team MUSE. Now she’s in her second year, and after an invigorating event at the end of their first year, and works with her team as a Idol group (jpop) called "52 Idol Shuffle!"
