Golda Ari

Golda Ari is a female lion Faunus from Vacuo and the second-in-command of Team BGCT (pronounced Big Cat). Her weapon is a Grenade Barrage Cannon Battleaxe called Malkah D'Akel.

Appearance
Golda stands at 5'9", very tall for a girl. She is incredibly muscular, but lean and lithe, not bulky. She has strawberry-blonde hair that falls in soft curls all the way down her back. She calls this her "mane", even though she knows that male lions have manes, not lionesses. Her hair is not her Faunus heritage, however: she has a brown-tufted, golden-yellow tail that seems to have a mind of its own, often tickling her at inappropriate times. Her eyes are coffee brown with golden flecks, but glow gold when she activates her Semblance.

She has several scars on her body from her favorite pastime, wrestling Ursa cubs. None of these are really deep, but she does have one deep scar just under her breasts, from the one time she couldn't get away before the mother Ursa returned. Her symbol, a golden crown, is tattooed on her back between her shoulder blades.

Clothing
Golda always wears her full battle garb, a practice common to all members of Team BGCT. Her battle garb consists of full torso armor made of a gold-titanium alloy over a steel chain mail battle dress, a pair of greaves and gauntlets that match her torso armor, and brown leather combat boots. On her head, she wear a domed helm with a bulletproof glass visor. The helm, which has a crown around the forehead, is made of the same material as he armor, and has a red Dust gem in the center of the forehead surrounded by several different colored gems. These gems are really ornamental, but they can be used to enhance the power of headbutts. She wears no jewelry besides the gems in her "crown", stating ironically that they add unnecessary weight (her full battle garb weighs approximately 75 pounds, and her weapon weighs a whopping 60- an extra ounce of jewelry would probably not burden her unduly).

Malkah D'Akel
Malkah D'Akel is a Grenade Barrage Cannon Battleaxe GBCG). It has the basic appearance of an over-under shotgun, but much larger. The two barrels have folding mechanisms on the top and bottom, and dual drum magazines on the sides that fold forward to lay against the sides of the barrels. The mechanisms on the barrels contain large ax heads, and unfold for melee fighting. The grip extends to three feet, forming the shaft of the battleaxe. The grenade launcher capabilities cannot be used while the ax heads are out, as the folding mechanism covers the barrels.

Charging Lion
Charging Lion is Golda's battle chariot. It is essentially a roofless car, the front of which has been replaced with a mobile artillery unit. It has caterpillar treads that move surprisingly fast, and an array of cannons and blades on the front. The body is brown acrylic with gold detailing.
