Ember Nightlock

Ember Nightlock is a second-year Huntress at Beacon Academy, the twin sister of Blaze Nightlock and the leader of Team EMBR. She is created by AwesomeSauce14.

Appearance
Ember is a girl of of average height, about 5’6”. She has shoulder length, wavy blue hair, typically tied up in a side ponytail, and brown eyes. Her skin tone is on the tan side, and she has a section of freckles on her nose. She would be described as having a normal build.

Ember wears a strapless top with a red top section with teal blue ribbons; a black, blue and gold middle section; and a long blue side-piece of a similar tone to her hair. She wears red shorts over black leggings, and tall gold boots. Around her neck is a small silver necklace that used to be her mother’s, and that Ember received before going to Beacon, which she never takes off.

Personality
Ember is serious and logic-minded. She often is secluded, and likes to keep to herself. She enjoys her own company, and that of nature, more than her peers, including her team. Often, she burdens things on her own, even when she is very well aware her teammates can help, as she would rather not get others involved. Despite this, Ember is a good mediator, and frequently helps break up arguments between her teammates. Ember is also incredibly smart, and is the team’s prime strategist, as well as the team member with the best grades. Despite her quietness, Ember is prone to occasional outbursts when she is worked up, and is often provoked by people sticking their noses in her business, whether to help or to annoy.

Background
Ember grew up in the main city of Vale with her twin brother Blaze. Her mother was a teacher at a normal elementary school, and her father was an inventor and weapon technician, who later made both Ember and Blaze’s weapons. Ember was always surrounded by the city’s hustle and bustle, which she wasn’t a big fan of, even though Blaze quite liked the city atmosphere. As her escape, Ember liked climbing trees in the nearby forest, and would stand on the tallest branches she could reach and watch Hunters and Huntresses training. Ember always thought it was so cool, and begged her parents to let her train at Signal, as well as asking Blaze to come with her. Her parents said yes, and her brother eventually obliged. The two twins later graduated Signal, and went to Beacon, where they met future teammates Maya Northridge and Raya Hikari.

Weapon
Ember’s main and only weapon is a medium-sized broadsword known as “Rimfire.” It has a red hilt and a blue center, with a shiny chrome silver edge that Ember polishes frequently. The sword does not transform, but the center does have a compartment that holds a foldable pistol made by Ember’s father. However, Ember has pretty bad aim, and if she uses it, the pistol will likely be used for distraction and/or miss.

Semblance
Ember’s Semblance is known as “Ring of Flames.” With it, she can create walls or shields made out of fire. If someone would try to touch it, it would burn, as yes, it is real fire. However, the walls can only take a certain amount of hits or time, and they will eventually collapse. Flecks or red and orange are known to appear in Ember’s eyes when her Semblance. She can only hold no more than three walls at any given time, and holding all three through a long period of time or prolonged attacks seriously drains Ember, often causing her to be incapacitated.

Trivia

 * Ember is a word meaning “a small piece of burning coal or wood in a fire.”
 * Nightlock, in The Hunger Games series, was a poisonous blue berry. Why I chose this as Ember and Blaze’s last name, no idea. It just sounded cool.
 * Electric ultramarine is a bright shade of blue. While a fire is visibly orange, as are the embers, in some cases, the bottom and hottest section of a flame is blue, as often seen in lit candles.
 * Ember’s weapon and Semblance names draw slight inspiration from the Pacific Ring of Fire, a volcanic hotspot circling the Pacific Tectonic Plate.
 * Both of the Nightlock twins have a certain connection with fire, as in their names, Ember and Blaze, and their Semblances, as both are pyrokinetic in some way.
