Della Azure

Appearance
Della is a girl with wavy, waist-length light brown hair, with 2 little braids that are tied together in the back of her head. She has pink-ish skin and bluish gray eyes.

Her outfit consists of a short light blue/light beige dress with long, puffy sleeves and white ruffles in her skirt. Her buttoned sleeves and collar are white too and have azure trimming. Her dress has a big black bow in its back and a little one in its collar, a little white apron with her emblem printed, and an ivory hip pouch. Over her dress she wears a periwinkle shoulder pad/corset combo with gold details. She wears black/ivory boots with white ruffles and white/azure socks, and a black bow that holds her little braids.

Personality
Della's carefree, relaxed and somewhat resembles a flaneur. She likes to enjoy the life and meet new people, and is an extrovert. She's loud and a head-in-the-clouds person (like Bruno) and tries to be nice with everybody (however, she's sassy and condescending with those she disagrees with). While she's good at hunting and is creative to come up with ideas and mechanisms for weapons (she created Strolling Jokalope's ammunition system for economizing and using Dust efficiently), she's lazy so her potential isn't completely shown.Besides being lazy, she has a big appetite and loves sweet foods, and is kinda immature for her age. Even if she's risky (specially at fighting),she doesn't like to take responsabilities and prefers to be a supportive person instead. Her attention span isn't the longest (unless she's listening to somebody who's talking about stuff she considers interesting) and tends to daydream. She's fond of weird, surreal stuff, and some people see her as an eccentric.

History
She comes from a very old family of Hunters that's well-known for making efficient, good quality weapons. However, unlike her relatives, Della doesn't really care about becoming a Hunter, she's just there for following the familiar tradition (and because she's actually talented even if she's lazy); however, her family trusts her even if her behavior is like that. She got offered to enter in Beacon because of her family's story and talent at weapon-making.

Weapon
She has a Portable Explosive Crossbow Hook (PECH) called Strolling Jokalope. It uses explosive ammunition (made mainly with Red, Yellow and White Dust). She can use her weapon as a hook too, and can shoot proyectiles when hooked to something or in mid-air. She uses 5 kinds of ammunition (from less to more powerful):


 * Clubs


 * Diamonds


 * Hearts


 * Spades

(They follow "Bridge" order. The more powerful the ammunition is, the more unstable is. Unstable proyectiles are better for "hooked" or close attacks, while stable ones are better for long-distance attacks.)

And the most powerful one that's used for final shots:


 * Joker

(It's more powerful than Spades but it's as stable as Diamonds. Della uses these carefully since these are hard to craft). She can load up to 12 proyectiles, and can mix them up according to her needs.

Its name comes from Joker and Jackalope, and Strolling refers to Della's behavior.

Abilities
Even if she's lazy most of times, in battle she likes to run risks and is skilled in long-distance attacks, but she can only defend herself with her aura and has risk of getting defenseless if she runs out of ammunition. Plus, while her weapon is of good quality and shoots fastly, it doesn't let her deliver direct attacks (like the rest of her team). Her aura's color is cerulean and isn't very good at controlling it. She uses it mainly for defense. Also, she's like a gunsmith for the team.

Relationships

 * Bruno Erraunt: He's a good friend and partner of Della's. Della met him at their first day in Beacon, and became good friends since that day. (She's something like Bruno's sidekick).


 * Ryan Chartreuse: Della has an OK relationship with him. Della thinks he's a clever guy and Ryan tries his best to give her advice or push her to stop being lazy, but it doesn't always work. Since Ryan isn't a conflictive person, he ends up giving up.


 * Grizel Svane: Della has an OK relationship with her. They don't talk too much to each other but Della's relaxed behavior goes well with the anxious Grizel.

Trivia

 * She's inspired by Alice from Alice in Wonderland.


 * "Della" is a derivative from "Alice" and "Azure" is a shade of blue.


 * Her emblem is a rabbit (like the "White Rabbit" from the book).


 * She gets distracted on classes easily.
