Meryl Ambrosius

Meryl Ambrosius is an OC owned by Diamond_Katana.

Appearance
Meryl is a teenage girl with blonde hair that is short in the back with two longer strands of hair in the front. She has a fair complexion and catlike black eyes. She has multicolored tattoos along her arms and hands. Her faunus feature is her light brown cougar ears on top of her head.

Her attire is often covered up by a black cloak and hood, held together by a silver button. Underneath, she wears a gray sleeveless turtleneck shirt as well as black leggings and boots. Her emblem is embroidered on the back of her cloak as well as the sides of her boots. She accessorizes the outfit with two dust-filled silver bracelets on each wrist and a silver sash that hangs from her waist, which stores her book and more dust.

Personality
Meryl is a very calm, quiet, and serious person. She prefers not to get involved with pointless spars and dislikes fighting other huntsman and huntresses. She is generally neutral and collected, often thought of as monotonous and a bummer. She lacks a sense of humor and is rarely seen smiling. She is, however, loyal to her friends and colleagues and strives to protect others.

Weapons
Meryl's weapon of choice is a silver staff that has a transparent crystal on the tip. When dust is sent through the hilt, the crystal lights up with the corresponding color of dust used. When lit, Meryl then performs a incantation, summoning a rune to appear (much like Weiss's glyphs) that creates different effects. The staff, named Magiae, is durable yet rarely used in melee combat except for when to block. Magiae is usually either held or strapped on Meryl's back by default.

Semblance
Meryl calls her semblance Runes, which is similar to Weiss's glyphs in a way. When fueled by dust, Meryl can cast a symbol, called a rune, in the air which will send out different attacks, depending on the spell or rune used and the type of dust sent through Migiae, which is taken from her dust-infused tattoos or a physical dust crystal or vial. Because of her good aura amount and control, she uses her semblance as her primary attacking form.

Fighting Style
Meryl generally stays in the back of the fight, sending different runes out to attack the opponent. She is rather weak physically and mediocre with speed and resistance. She does, however, have a generally good stamina and always gets up after a hit until she is physically unable to.
