Pyjamas

Personality
Prior to Beacon, Topaz was shy and quiet normally keeping to herself when not hanging around Neon Katt or trying to befriend Weiss Schnee. She was bullied both at Atlas and during her second year at Beacon. With gentle nudges and friendship Topaz slowly came out of her shell becoming bubbly, cheeky and bouncy though she tends to fall into her shy and quiet during moments of stress or fear.

Power and Abilities
Topaz is fast learning and keen to improve her fighting style. With little training during her time at Atlas, Topaz found herself resorting to books on fighting styles and trying to use them during her training with Professor Ozpin and Pyrrha Nikos. She tends to get frustrated during her combat training though this fades during Volume 2.

She mainly adopts a defensive fighting style, studying her opponent like a book looking for weaknesses or flaws. When Topaz goes on the offensive she uses her speed and agility against higher skill or bigger opponents.

Like most faunus Topaz has enhanced hearing and night vision

Semblance
Topaz's semblance, Phoenix, has three parts to it, Attack, Defence and Wave. Once activate Topaz takes on various poses to activate the three forms.

Attack-Increases her strikes of her hand to hand combat and kicks and other various ground-based strikes. Small fireball like blasts or a continuous blast can be used too. The power of her semblance weakens over time depleting the power of the blasts and strikes

Defence- Creates a protective force field around her and can be used around others though can drain her energy and aura. A smaller variant can be created to block smaller attacks or projectiles. Prolonged usage of the shield can drain her aura and energy. During her time at Atlas and Beacon (First Year) her semblance ws uncontrolled and randomly activated in the defence form which left her aura depleted and caused her to pass out

Wave- Works in conjunction with her aura. Allows how to propel herself into the air or across the battlefield. Her moves gain an additional effect on creating a wave of energy to push her opponents away.

A pair of orange, energy like phoenix wings appear at rare times indicating full strength and power, due to Topaz's not knowing the effects of full power it takes over and she loses control and this can knock her out for a long period of time
