Asphodel Kennedy

Asphodel Kennedy is a Specialist in the Atlesian Military. She often deals with tactical assault missions.

Appearance
Asphodel is a tall and fit woman with long grey hair and orange eyes. She has a long face structure and calm slender eyes. Her hair is centrally parted, with an ahoge at the widow's peak and bangs that fall past her chin.

Her operating attire includes a black leotard, white pants with a black belt, black tactical boots and a black fingerless glove on her right hand. Her entire left arm and hand is covered by a steel blue sleeve that straps across her chest. The seal of Atlas is printed on the shoulder. Asphodel wears the sleeve to hide a cybernetic arm. When others ask about it, she simply explains that the sleeve is for protecting her non-dominant side.

Asphodel also owns a dress uniform similar in style to Winter Schnee's and General Ironwood's.

Weapons and Abilities
Asphodel is proficient with every type of firearm in the Atlesian Military. She is thoroughly trained in marksmanship and close quarters combat.

Semblance
Asphodel's semblance allows her to manipulate and alter her hair. She can telepathically move and shape it, extend its length, and harden it. When the hair hardens, it turns black and becomes stronger than steel. The exact strength and durability of the hardened hair is unknown, but it has been able to stop bullets, cut and pierce metal and stone, and support the weights of an armored car and multiple people. It appears that the hair's strength comes from Asphodel's aura rather than the semblance's hardening ability.

Most often, Asphodel shapes her hair into a mouth, giant hands, and blades. She doesn't carry any melee weapon and instead uses her hair for melee combat. This gives her the advantage of surprise and versatility in battle. Asphodel can change her hair's length and shape even after it's hardened. In tight situations, Asphodel weaponizes her ahoge as a needle pike.

Asphodel's semblance will work regardless of her hair's initial length. Even if her hair is cut or shaven, she can still manipulate it. Part of the reason why she keeps her hair long is to give others the false impression that cutting her hair will weaken her.
