Alion Nightwind

Alion Nightwind is a member of Team SLNT at Beacon Academy.

Abilities
Alion specializes in close-to-mid-range combat and her physical attributes are trained to match. Out of her team, she possesses the second-greatest strength and the greatest endurance, while also having a good deal of agility and decent accuracy with her shots.

Aura
Alion's Aura manifests as a brilliant light that matches the light in her surroundings, making her appear radiant even in moonlight. Its enhancements are primarily focused on her strength and defense. Her weakness is her relatively low speed and a high Aura consumption rate from her Semblance.

Alion's Semblance is Full Name: Light - Leonine Brilliance. It allows her to draw upon the light in her surroundings into her attacks, blocks and movement for instant bursts of great power, defense and speed respectively. When she does this, her swings and body seem shrouded in the visage of a roaring lion. This Semblance has great versatility due to its premise of energy-draw-and-discharge. She can choose to concentrate even more light by charging up, with her full limit reached in five seconds. At full charge, she can manifest the light as a full-sized autonomous lion that can withstand a few hits and explode with great power, albeit weakened compared to a full-power direct attack. Alternatively, the lion can wrap around her as additional armor, assisting her in both defense and movement.

The unique aspect of her Semblance is that her ability changes in both effect and power based on the light drawn. This is affected by two main factors, time of day and location:
 * 1) Time: In the day, her light is empowered with the heat of the Sun and hence burn furiously, being greatest at noon. At night, her light is gifted with the iciness of the Moon and chill whatever they touch, strongest at midnight.
 * 2) Location:  In buildings, the artificial light she draws can channel a small amount of the electricity that generated them, stunning her opponents. This combines with other effects if she has access to both types of light. In a room of total darkness, Alion's Semblance will begin to forcibly draw light in from further away, lighting up the room while dimming others.

Fighting Style
As expected of her tower-shield-and-spear style, Alion's fighting style is focused on slowly executing powerful and precise attacks from behind the hardy defense of her shield. Power-based fighting styles such as those of Yang and Nora mostly do not work on her and the greater reach of her spear means that. Due to her martial focus on this style, she is less adaptable and can fall to quick and agile fighters that can get pass her defensive maneuvers.
