Las Saltus

Backstory
Las had an unusual childhood, being born blind with a strong desire to be independant. She learnt to use echoes to move around without help, using her good memory to keep track of obstacles. As she grew older, an interest in Dust came about and much to the surprize of her family, proved quite capable of using it. She had applied to Signal but was rejected on the bounds that she would require too much assistance from others. This fueled Las' ambition and anger. A hatrid of the thought that she couldn't fight spurred her onwards, and the belief that if she proved her worth, Beacon would accept her. She trained hard for the next few years, engaging in several tentative excursions into the forest. Because of these, she found her aura, and the ability to find her enemies without echolocation. After many trips to the forest, she decided to enter alone, to really test her skills.

She walked slowly forwards, feeling the empty space around her. The click from her fingers let the trees around her be heard. She continued to walk. The sounds of the forest went quiet and she paused. Las tilted her head slightly, listening for the telltale sign of danger.

She felt nothing. Another moment was spent waiting. The erie feeling came to her, something was to her left. Her arms flicked up, the wave of ice hitting where she felt the presence. The feeling suddenly overwhelmed her as a large number of Grimm became apparent. Las launched several blasts of fire towards the group, feeling them scatter.

Her heart started beating faster, she was in too deep, she wasn't ready for this.

A few of them moved in and Las started to panic. She threw up a pillar of ice at the closest one, feeling it move around her attack. The panic set in. Using two air steps with her hands, she threw herself backwards, turning midair. Las dashed off, using the shunts from the airsteps to navigate through the trees as best as she could, but the echoes weren't substatial enough. She was flying as blind as she could be.

Las made it a fair distance before feeling something different. Unknown to her, but better than Grimm, she shunted towards it. She hit what was probably a tree with her shoulder.

A voice come from whatever she could feel. "What the?"

The Grimm closed in, fewer in numbers than before, but still more than enough. Las heard the footsteps running in.

"Quick! Jump!"

She obeyed the voice, hearing him slide under her. The sound of a weapon hitting home came soon after. She could feel some of the Grimm fading. She flicked her arm up, the explosion centred in the Grimm away from whomever this person was. A large persence came into play.

"Oh damn, Ursa!"

The panic in her rose for a moment, then Las pushed it back down.

"Come close now!" She called to him.

She felt him move, then used fire in one hand, ice in the other. The firestorm she threw around them was felt only for a moment before the ice circled up and around them. A few booming shots sounded and the remaining Grimm faded away. Las cracked the ice then dropped to the ground in exaustion. A different voice sounded out.

"Not bad kids. Not bad at all."

Appearance
Las' attire is comprised of a emerald green sleveless top with a long tail on the left that reaches the back of her knee, embroidered with a silver lining. She has matching arm length gloves without the lining, aswell as plain black jeans and leather boots make up the rest of it. Dark green hair reaches her lower back and her eyes are a cloudy emerald.

Weapon and skills
Las is a moderately skilled Dust user that relies heavily on her aura. She uses her aura to 'feel' her enemies for a semi-accurate Dust attack. Because of the  difficultly of pinpointing a target, many of her moves focus on hitting a large area or use multiple projectiles. Her Dust is stored and channeled through two elegant and thin bracers, made purely for Dust they cannot withstand any kind of melee combat. Although for obvious reasons she avoids all melee interaction and uses an interesting method of small air steps with both her arms and legs to quickly shunt herself about to keep away from it. This is when she is most vunerable as she uses echolocation via clicking her fingers to determine her immediate surroundings. When pressured she has little time to do this and can be completely disoriented, leading to Las panicking and striking out at the first thing she becomes aware of. Navigating the environment by echoes will stop her from hitting any reasonably sized objects but she can easily be tripped up by anything small enough that it doesn't affect the echo. All of her limitations eventually led her to Crae and now she works in conjuction with him, Crae being her shield and Las being able to coordinate her attacks very effectively with his directions.

Personality
Las is a rather reserved person, hating being judged as incapable of fighting because of her blindness, although she has come to terms with it and her limitations in combat. Las speaks in a formal manner, thinking things through before going ahead.
