Emma Acacia

"I can't stand by idly."

- Emma Acacia Emma Acacia is a character created by Mew Amelia, and the leader of Team [TBA]. She is a freshman at Atlas Academy, and wields two Dual-Exchange Blade Rifles (DE-BS) named Mary and Golde.

Appearance
Emma is of (almost) average height, and has a fair complexion with "sun kissed" freckles on her face. She always wears a pair of glasses resembling half of a hexagon over her ocean blue eyes.

Her usual outfit consists of a cream colored, pearl-studded coat with white puffed sleeves reaching down to her elbow, ending in a bell shape. The front has a zipper with a key on it, and two pockets that make it resemble a cross. Beneath the coat is a simple white leotard with shorts. She wears orange transparent pants over a pair of leggings, connected to two circular knee-guards. Her shoes are a pair of brown kitten-heel boots with pearls sewn onto them. On the back of her jacket is her symbol.

At other times, she wears the typical Atlas school uniform; a gray over-dress with little decorations.

Personality
Emma is an anxious but stubborn person, who took up training as a Huntress so she could do something about the threats plaguing her kingdom.

She can be socially awkward but settles in after a bit. She does her best to display what she believes is the best image of Atlas.

Weapon
Emma wields two large blades that resemble the halves of a gardening shear, named Mary and Golde. They can transform into powerful bayonets for ranged fighting.

If needed, Emma can also attach them together into a giant garden shear for stronger damage, or a massive sniper rifle. Both of these forms rename the weapon Marigold.

Semblance
Emma's semblance is "Perfect Sculpture".

She can transform her body into stone, and is able to sit still enough that people would think she was a statue. This is often used for defense against enemies, or stealth mission. If somebody breaks her, she will forcibly transform back into her human self. Each time she de-transforms, she must wait an interval of 5 minutes before doing so again.

Weakness
Emma's weakness is her lack of self-confidence. She is anxious and easily deterred. Despite her excellent leadership, Emma is always unsure of herself and scared she is doing the wrong thing. This can bleed into her fighting and affect her performance.

Due to a mental disorder she was diagnosed with as a child, there are occasional times where she simply can't stand certain sensory outputs and shuts down. She also has the weakest stamina on the team.
