Sion Bing

(Character under development)

Profile
Name: Sion Bing

Age: 17

Gender: F

Race: Human

Hair: Dark

Eyes: Black

Appearance
Sion is a fair-skinned girl of about average build. She keeps her straight hair pulled up in a neat topknot, decorated by a simple light green bow, and she has straight bangs.

She wears a mid-length halter dress in her signature cyan, which has cream-colored borders and a slit in front of the left leg. Over this is a utilitarian belt, with a bronze replica of her emblem serving as the buckle, and for her feet, she wears loose socks and martial slippers.

Personality
She often appears dignified because her intense shyness makes her extremely reserved with anyone outside of her team and cordial at best. Around people whom she's comfortable with, she's cheerful and supportive, more down-to-earth and humble than her first impression typically suggests.

While she will engage in a friendly spar or training matches, she only does this as self-improvement or to coach others. As such, she is not suited for tournament matches. However, she can be very grim in battle to protect civilians (no pun intended).

Weapons and Abilities
Sion's semblance is Time Perception; for example, when activated, she can see in slower motion. She usually only covers 2 people at a time, and only one type of time perception at a time but she is capable of slowing down perception for her entire team, or simultaneously slowing down her own perception and speeding up an opponent's perception. Naturally, she cannot maintain it for an indefinite amount of time so she tends to keep the ability in reserve, although as she gains experience and increases her own fitness, the limit can expand appropriately. She can also train herself to stabilize her control through habitual meditation. It can be exponentially amplified if she performs forms or dances, during which it may appear that she is wearing a mantle or water sleeves, but this makes her vulnerable to attack. It can help during a large multi-team-sized battle, if the need and/or benefit to the overall fighter group outweighs the cost of having to guard her (and the benefit is also limited by the ability's consumption of her aura).

Her favored weapon of choice in battling Grimm is actually an aircraft shaped like an egg cross with a ginkgo leaf. The design is influenced by the shinkansen and the bowrider. The hardware tucks into the smooth hull where it is hidden for aesthetic reasons until Sion needs to arm it. Since it won't fit into her locker at Beacon, she uses a flail. The weight is a crescent-shaped blade with a handle (the handle is for close-range use, admittedly unwieldy but you never know) and the staff can disconnect and fold for use as a 3-section staff.

Trivia
Sion was developed from the concept of the abilities of Nenya, the ring of water from The Lord of the Rings.
