- Lavender Kristal

Lavender Kristal is an antagonist in Team FLME. She is an ex-huntress turned bounty hunter and works under Roz Quarto. She is the partner of Nolan Runderen and was hired to kill the Burns Family. Her weapons of choice are a pistol called Slytherin and a sword called The Crystal Cipher.

Early Years
Little to no information on Lavender's early years exist. She was a graduate of Shade Academy in Vacuo and was the rival of Amethyst Eclairage. She later became a bounty hunter following her graduation due to her psychopathic craze and her need to get by.

Life as a Bounty Hunter
Lavender became known as a fearsome assassin and bounty hunter, never failing in her jobs and became a wanted citizen in both Vacuo and Mistral. She went into hiding in Windpath and stayed there to hide from the council of Mistral. She was then approached by Roz Quarzo and hired by her to assist her in Vale and to kill the Burns Family.

Missions in Vale
Following Shadow Ombre's second arrest and Nolan Runderen's failure at the Patch Docks, Lavender was assigned to assist Nolan in his duties in Vale. While Nolan was dealing with a woman named Skyler, Lavender was inside their White Fang camp and making preparations for "Phase 2" of Roz's plan. However, she heard Nolan's distress call and prepared the camp for an attack.

When Nolan arrived, he was followed by two teams of huntsman, including Leia Burns whom she attacked in order to collect her bounty. Lavender lunged at Leia, but was cut off with a kick by Eadwulf Fenrir. When she regained her bearings, she blocked Eadwulf's next strike and kick him only to perform an ariel attack at Leia. The two dueled before Lavender was tackled by Eadwulf, whom she kicked off her and again attacked Leia. However, she was doubled teamed by Leia and Eadwulf who pushed her back to met Nolan. The two then entered their Bullhead and left the camp.

Sometime later, Nolan, Lavender and Roz caught wind of Team FLME's presence. Roz then had the bomb be prepped and armed, ready to destroy half the city and let Grimm into Vale. Nolan and Lavender soon took action when they learned that FLME was making their way to the bomb site. Lavender was the first to engage the team, primary their leader, Frederic Scorch. The two engage each other and at first, Fred appears to have the upper hand, but he soon realizes that she is toying with him. Lavender then using her full potential and knocks Fred out cold, giving him is first true loss in years.

Nolan then comes to join Lavender in killing the young Huntsman but is stopped by a masked figure who saves Fred's life and chases Nolan and Lavender away from him. After the figure leaves, Fred gets up and dashes towards the location of the bomb and his team.

During the Vytal Festival Tournament, Lavender and Nolan returned to Patch Maximum Security Compound to break Shadow out per Roz's orders. Nolan planted explosives around the main walls of the prison yard and blew a whole in the wall. Lavender then used a grabbing hook to enter through the wall. While Nolan dealt with the guards, Lavender freed Shadow.

Nolan the joined the two and the three moved through the prion block to their LZ but were stopped by Isaac Scorch, Elsa Inverno and Bazaar Hiltzaile. While Isaac dealt with Shadow, and Elsa, Lavender, Bazaar took on Nolan. Elsa quickly charged Lavender with the latter blocking her strike but was caught off guard by an ice blast to her face and feet, sliding her across the prison yard. Elsa lounged at Lavender and pinned her to the ground, with Lavender responding by a kick to her stomach. Elsa was then throw across across the yard and tasered on her neck by Nolan before he was tackled by Bazaar.

Lavender was able to continue with her fight and watched Shadow throw Isaac into a wall. Lavender then kicked Isaac in the face while Nolan punched him. Before the three could leave, Bazaar awoke and attempted to attack them but was stopped by Lavender and knocked out again.

Lavender and Shadow later find Roz about to be killed by Adam Taurus after the Battle of Beacon. Lavender saves Roz and attacks Adam but is called back by Shadow and the two flee with an injured Roz.

Meeting with the Lower Cabal
Following the Fall of Beacon, Roz and Shadow retuned to Salem's Domain to report to Onyx about the battle and the failure to kill Isaac and Frederic Scorch. Prior to the meeting, she introduced Lavender to the realm and let her witness the birth and taming of Grimm but Volt and Ombre's forces. While their, she was scolded by Lavenza who claimed that she should have died at Beacon due to failure to kill Isaac. Damson then joins stating that she should hunt Isaac down a rip out his heart for destroying her's. Ombre then joins in stating that it was shameful that she lost to Isaac.

However, prior to her backlash towards the three, she is interrupted by Onyx entering the room and silencing Lavenza's unneeded "belittlement" of Roz. Despite her failing to kill Isaac, she is hailed by Onyx for her efforts in Vale and the role she played in having Taurus' allegiance to Salem. However, due to her defeat by Isaac, she is instructed to remain with Onyx to continue her training to hopefully kill Isaac and later Frederic. This leads Lavender to take over for Roz and Damson to now hunt down Frederic and kill him.

Battle of Fumi Cove
Lavender accompanied Shadow to Fumi Cove to finish what he started years ago and kill March Fumi. Ombre ordered Lavender to the shoreline to combat the already stationed troops. Lavender did so and encountered Leia Burns and Ember Ignis. She began to duel the two and she easily overpowered Ember and toyed with Leia. However, she was then attacked again by Fred who with Ember were able to push her further back into a corner. Once Ombre gave the order to a retreat, Lavender jumped on the boys heads and returned to the ship with Shadow.

Psych-Interviews
"Alright, General. Hot meals are ready, lets go."

Personality
Lavender exhibits a stern, confident and level-headed attitude but can also be cynical and condescending. She is very proficient and focused during her fights and is very confident in her abilities. This can be seen during her fights with Elsa, Leia and Eadwulf and her preparing to fight all of Team FLME. Lavender is willing to fight four on one and despite her being caught off guard by Eadwulf and Leia, she still believes she can fight FLME head on without a negative outcome.

During her fights, she is seen smiling and showing little distress. This further pushes her cocky nature and could possible lead to her downfall. However, she is aware of when she is outmatched as seen when Isaac Scorch comes in and defends his brother from her and Nolan.

She is also quit condescending, and puts down not only Shadow Ombre but Lavenza Volt during the Lower Cabal meeting. This does backfire though as Lavenza and Ombre easily berate her for her own failures as well and is shown little respect from the two. She also shows a cynical side as she enjoys making jokes during a fight and or doing something of dire importance.

Physical Appearance
Lavender is a tall woman with pale white complexion, purple eyes, short purple hair and light but sturdy build with yellow lipstick on. She wears a purple and gray jumpsuit with ammo pouches along her chest and two pieces of small shoulder armor. She has bright pink wrist armor that surround her entire wrist, only stopping at her hand.

She wears a black belt with a golden buckle which contains her emblem. Her jumpsuit leads down to a pair of knee high, purple and black boots. She also wears thigh armor along the outmost part of her clothing and also has a pair of knee armor.

Weapon
Lavender's weapons of choice are a sword called the Crystal Cipher and a pistol called Slytherin. Lavender demonstrates good sword-play while dueling her opponents and can use her sword in order to easily overpower her foes with immense force and power that they could be thrown into a wall. Her sword also comes with a taser at the base, which she uses to knockout foes such as Bazaar, Elsa even Fred.

Her pistol, Slytherin, is used mainly for long ranged combat. She uses it to keep foes at bay or to wound them severally to the point of not being able to walk correctly. Lavender also uses her pistol as a grabbing hook, allowing her to traverse great distances or to pull things towards her.

Fighting Style
Lavender's fighting style appears to be basic combat with both sword and pistol work. She shows good swordsmanship and can cut down foes with ease and her deadly aim makes her even with some of Atlas' top shots.

She is also proven to be elusive and has a through understanding of the criminal underworld, especially in Mistral, using Windpath as a hiding place away from the council. She also was the one who found the campsites of both the bomb used by Roz and the White Fang camp Team FLME and VILE found during their crime hunt.

Semblance
Lavender's semblance remains to be seen.
