COLOR NAME REFERENCE

Color name reference is recognized. Viorica is a deriviative name, that comes from the Romanian word viorea, meaning bluebell.

APPEARANCE

This person would be a High Elf in D&D, and I will not hear any arguments against this. The appearance works, I actually really like the navy accented with gold, even if the color of the wallet makes me wonder why it clashes. The descripition is straight forward and it paints a clear picture. No problems here.

PERSONALITY

The pragmatic opinionist. A more low-intensity in the sense of emotional highs, but I can appreciate someone that is very much themselves considering they're from a relatively well known franchise family, considering what we have seen from other such families (*cough* Schnees *cough*). It has defined parameters, it would work well for someone that needs to deal with people in a way that may not always be kind, either. No obvious contradictions. No problems here.

BACKSTORY

A bit of a wilder streak from her. It's good to see that her time at the academy forced her to evolve, as this expected. I also find the interplay between the two siblings a nice touch to show her feelings toward her family not necessarily changing, even with her becoming a Huntress, where as her brother pretty much became a business major. Although, an auditor is not the first job you would expect from a Huntress, even if it is a job that most Huntsmen and Huntresses would be very good at. No stepping on canon toes. Noted as absent at the Vytal Festival, however was present in Vale. No problems here.

WEAPONS AND COMBAT

The weapon is within guideline specifications. We have a single, transforming primary in the form of Avarice. I will be perfectly honest and say that I am getting some Gambol Shroud vibes from it, but it does differ in certain regards. It's melee form is different and it is also very differently shaped. The kama as a weapon, as effective as it can be, is actually quite underrated, and I can certainly appreciate the use of it individually, instead of just as a part of her kusari-gama. And the touch with the Hardlight umbrella is very nice. No problems here.

As for Viorica's skill in combat, it's well measured and well described. Someone who favours close quarters combat, preferring strikes prevalent in Muay Thai while employing the kama as a reach tool, instead of a more direct offensive tool. Very interesting. Good to see the note of her weakness to casters and ranged fighters, which would make sense for someone so specialized. No problems here.

SEMBLANCE

Silhouette as a Semblance works well. I would know, I was the one who suggested the idea of a clone Semblance. And this rendition works. It is sufficiently limited, and it is also a good allusion to who Viorica is an allusion to; Freya, the Norse Godess. We have a time limiter, we have a range limiter, we have an action limiter, and also an Aura drain limiter. Overall, I like it. It's not crazy significant and it would work very well as a distraction. No problems here.

CONCLUSION: ACCEPTED

'''Viorica will surely keep the many business partners of Zaruciti Foundries in line. She is a very measured character, with a personality that will certainly bring some interesting conversations. Overall, solid effort.'''
