Team VEIL

Team VEIL is a third year team at Beacon Academy, known for being a hard working reliable team. All of it's members came to Beacon with the desire to protect others, and they do so with big sister/mother hen gusto.

The team name may refer to the traditional white wedding veil, or a black one used to conceal a face. In religion a veil is intended to show honor to a subject or space. Team VEIL takes the safety of others with great respect and consider it an honor to be accepted to Beacon and provide safety to others.

VEIL is comprised of:

Vera Million - Leader of team VEIL. A front line fighter, with the ability for long range attacks as well. She fights with her weapons "Varinia's Vanguard", a variation of the Katar with a swiss army knife-like attachment allowing for a varitey of attack styles. Her colour is vermilion.

Echo Rue - A faunus, and for the most part the long distance fighter for the team. She fights with "Singing Saturn" a dust compatible variation of the Meteor Hammer which is uses the momentum to fling stone sized dust-infused projectiles from afar. In close combat Singing Saturn can be used like a traditional Meteor Hammer. Her colour is ecru.

Indra Ghost - The teams defensive member. Refered to as 'the tiny tank'. Indra fights in battle with two large triangular shaped shields called "Vrinda and Mira" respectively. They can connect to one another but do not transform in any way. Her colour is indigo.

Lyle Oak - The teams heavy hitter. A close and mid range fighter, Lyle fights with "Fauiki's Arm", a Eku like weapon with the ability to transform into a long handled power saw. His colour is lilac.

TRIVIA

- The back story of each member of Team VEIL was inspired by characters from Grimm's fairytales. Mother Hulda, The Six Swans, The Star-Money and The Moon (respectively).

- Each member can be represented by a different season. Vera - summer, Echo - winter, Indra - spring, and Lyle - fall.

- Each member can also be represented by a different element. Vera - fire, Echo - wind, Indra - water, and Lyle - earth.

- Each member was also designed with specific cultures and regions in mind. Vera - europe, Echo - china, Indra - india, and Lyle - polynesia.

- Echo and Indra were initially partnered up before becoming part of team VEIL, and were refered to as "Swan Lake". (Fun fact - the libretto for Swan Lake is based on a story by German author Johann Karl August Musäus, "Der geraubte Schleier" which translates to 'The Stolen Veil')

- Vera and Lyle who were initially partnered before becoming part of team VEIL, were refered to as "Endless Canopy". (May allude to rainforests, which are home to millions of animal species, many of which live in the tree canopy of the forest. The canopy shields and protects the ground from sun and light rain, acting like an umbrella, or if you will, a veil.)
