COLOR NAME REFERENCE

Color name reference is recognized. Umi means "Sea" when translating the Japanese kanji 海 (umi) to English.

APPEARANCE

Nothing to detract from here. The character is well-described, it is easy to make a picture of her in my head. She makes a distinct impression, I would say.

PERSONALITY

Her personality seems consistent with backstory and her general behaviour. The honest soul of a child, marred by self-doubt and abandonment. It works well.

BACKSTORY

Dark, but consistent. There is a lot of details here that paints a good picture of Umi's situation. Good detail when it comes to how she actually started her path to becoming a Huntress-in-training. Her personality is well reflected in the backstory as well. Placement in Vytal Festival is noted. No stepping on canon toes. No problems here.

WEAPONS AND COMBAT

Weapons are within guideline specifications, with the naginata as the primary and the bracelets as paired secondaries/utilities. The weapons are well-described, and are versatile, especially the naginata, with it's chained blade and emergency Dust reserve. No problems here.

When it comes to combative ability, it is very interesting to someone so relatively short use a weapon like a naginata, considering it is a weapon that focuses on speed and leveraging it's relative length. However, it makes the portion about her picking a caster role and staying away from using it, make a lot more sense. Her skills seem consistent. They are explained well and not overblown. No problems here.

SEMBLANCE

Ryujin as a Semblance is very interesting to me on a personal level, as I haven't seen too many summoning Semblances in my time here. It has a fatigue limiter with a variance, the variance being the emotional stability of Umi at any given time. The dragon that is summoned is not too big, so that is fine. Overall, a fitting Semblance, considering the idea of her having an eternal companion due to her being in such a fervent search of friends.

CONCLUSION: ACCEPTED

'''Umi, as a character I have seen used in RP, works well. I would be very interested to see how her personality changes, should she ever grow out of being a child, because of how she was brought up. And to be honest, Ryujin is probably one of the most appropriately named Semblances I have seen on the wiki. '''
