Prism Sternenglanz

Appearance
Prism Sternenglanz is tall and curvy woman twenty-five years of age. She has dark skin, large and curly purple-tinted white hair, and cool, pale green eyes. She always wears a pair of rectangular silver under frame glasses with modern geometric temples.

History
Prism was born into a wealthy, upper class family in Atlas. Her parents are architects, and they thoroughly emphasized the importance of mathematics, design, and practicality to their children. Prism and her elder sister grew up to be well educated and with the promise of entering into the family profession. A strong yet silent sibling rivalry emerged when it was revealed that only one of the sisters could be offered a position under their parents. Fervently Prism worked to broaden her knowledge and improve her talents, but, unfortunately, discovered that her elder sister was her parents' favorite. Several arguments erupted within the family, damaging their bonds. Out of spite, Prism chose to become a Huntress to prove her strength over her sister.

Easily Prism passed through the junior hunter academy, enjoying the empowerment that came with learning to wield a weapon. In the senior academy was where her talents--and faults--shown; her cold and unshakable disposition made her a strong Huntress, yet scared away several classmates; her preference of using a whip and being the leader of a mostly male team earned her a few dominatrix criticisms and nicknames. She rarely let any bullying break her, but there were a few instances that pushed her to physically deal with the problem.

After graduating, Prism refused to return home and continued on to become a professional Huntress. Part of her fears to confront her family.

Weapon
Prism wields a long, segmented metal razor whip that she refers to simply as "Fräulein". Inside, the whip has a central cable that allows for Dust infusions and a few other cables that uncoil, allowing for the whip to segment and double in length to 18 feet. Extremely sharp, the whip can slice through unarmored Grimm flesh that has been ensnared. The use of Dust engulfs the weapon in the element, noticeably increasing lethality. When it's not in use, Fräulein is coiled and hung from the right side of Prism's belt.

Semblance
"Refraction" – Prism's semblance enables her to condense the water molecules in the air and use them as tiny prisms to bend light, creating optical illusions and mirages. She often uses this ability to hide or augment her visual presence while creating mirages to distract and confuse enemies. The range of Refraction is limited to a 7 meter radius around a target.

Fighting Style
With unbreakable confidence and solid footing, Prism is an intimidating fighter. She keeps a cool mind in the heat of battle, never letting any emotion show that would give an opponent the confidence to strike. Psychological tactics are used often against human opponents, while merciless and brutal attacks are used against Grimm. Her sharp eyes and mathematical knowledge benefits her in making accurate and fatal cuts. Although she savors her power, Prism prefers to end a duel quickly, as she hates leaving a mess.
