Areia Arce

Appearance

Areia has a very small figure. While she seems like she wouldn’t be very strong, she can lift average weight. She’s a slender girl, her weight being just a little above the average weight for girls her age and height. Her body seems to fit good proportions, nothing being too big, nothing too small. Her eyes are a very clear shade of red. Usually at first glance, her eyes are the first thing that stick out to people. When she’s angry, her eyes tend to change to a darker shade of red. Her hair is a deep jet black, which she leaves down. Normally her hair has a bit of volume to it, but she enjoys having her hair straight, and neat. When attending classes, she puts her hair up into a tight ponytail

Areia’s outfit consists of the colors black and red, and white. She wears a black cloak, that displays her symbol on the back. She wears a half jacket, that does not cover her stomach. The sleeves of the jacket have red flames running up the side of them, with a white stripe down the middle of it. Under that, she wears an article of clothing similar to a bikini top, but it cannot be seen unless she takes off her jacket. She wears a multi-layer black skirt, each layer having a red rim on the end of it. She wears high-heeled, knee high black boots. They are slip on, so they have no special design on them.

Her weapon is held in a back-pack like holster, where she can reach back, grab the handle and quickly pull it out. (Similar to Ruby Roses' holster.)

(Personality)

Areia is a girl who likes to keep to herself about what she is thinking, or feeling. She's not fond of opening up to people. She gets uncomfortable when people try to dig deep into her life. The only way to make her open up is through time, and trust. She also isn't very much of a talker. When she talks, most of the time it's about school, work, and training. She's very serious about her work, and training. She doesn't like things being disordered. When she fights along side her partner, she wants everything to run smoothly. She doesn't like attacking out of turn, and charging in head first. When she fights, it's all about presentation, and accuracy. When things turn out differently, she gets rather uptight. She also becomes very serious. She doesn't speak during combat, unless spoken to first. She puts all of her attention into the battle. Areia can be considered hot-headed. She get's rather mad at people when they tease her about her height. When angry, she tends to pout and puff out her cheeks. If angry enough, she will yell back at the person, and throw a fit.

(Weapons and Abilities)

Her weapon of choice is a double-ended halberd. The front ends of the helberd are charged with red dust, heating it up for combat. She is able to fold the weapon down the middle, and lock the two back edges of the blade together. When she does, a lever comes out from the split end, and she is able to push it down to use the weapon as a flame thrower.

The flame thrower can last 2 minutes, before it becomes too hot. It has a cool down time of 3 minutes. During this time, she has to switch it back and fight with the halberd. If she lets the weapon overheat, it could cause the dust to go off.

Dust goes into the weapon through the handle when the weapon is in it's flame-thrower stage. The dust is able to last for 2 minutes when she's using the flame-thrower, however, for the halberd to be heated, the dust can last for days. She typically uses the halberd more for this reason.

She calls her weapon: Ignition Chaser.

(Backstory)

Areia is from a family of Criminals. The Arce family had been criminal masterminds in Atlas for centuries, even during the time of darkness. When Areia was born, she was expected to grow up and become just that, but her intentions were different. She always had a great interest in Huntsman/Huntresses. She would often go to Haven and ask the kids there what it was like to almost be a Huntsman/Huntress. They were more than willing to share their stories. However, her parents would not allow her to do such a thing. She knew what she wanted to be, and nothing was going to stop her.

When she was 13 years old, She left Atlas, and made her way to Vale. During her time in Atlas, she had met a boy named Ace Nowlin, who was visiting from Vale. He knew her story, and was more than willing to let her into his life. The two of them were accepted into Sanctum, where they became partners, good friends, and even crushes. The two loved each other, but neither spoke about it. It was known, but they knew it wasn't time. They spent 2 years as partners, until something tragic happened that still haunts Areia 'till this day. The two of them had been sent out on a mission to locate some Hunters who had gotten lost in the forest. While in the forest, the two of them encountered a large group of Ursa's. They were outnumbered. Ace had sacrificed himself to save Areia when she was about to be killed by an Ursa. She had to run, and leave him behind. She could never live with herself. She spent a lot of days mourning. She stopped smiling, and later was assigned a new partner, who she didn't get along with very well. To the current day, She still blames herself for his death, and she often has nightmares about it.

Areia had finished the two years at Sanctum and graduated near the top of her class. She applied for Beacon and was accepted, of course with caution because of her families history. That's where she met her partner and lover, Pierce. The two had encountered each other in the forest, when they both were spotted by a Beowolf. They fought well together. As the days went on, Pierce got more and more curious about her. She refused to open up about herself to him for the longest time. She opened up to him one day after a horrible nightmare. She was frightened he would view her differently, but was surprised when she was hugged, and told everything was going to be okay. Pierce is the only person she has her trust in, and the only person she was ever willing to open up to. Because of this, she gained feelings for him. She made him promise he would never repeat the actions of Ace, and he agreed.
