Lila Meadows

"Hey, have you met my brother? It's okay neither have I!"

Apearance
Lila is a small framed girl with pale skin and freckles on her face. Her purple eyes match her shoulder length hair. She wears purple armour with purple trim that covers most of her body excluding from her mid-ribs to her hip bone. She wears purple armoured boots that protect up to her thighs. In addition she wears a sand coloured shoulder cape and a golden headdress.

Personality
Lila can be described as hyperactive and bubbly. Constantly smiling and goofing off. She considers anyone she meets a friend until proven otherwise. She's always upbeat even in dire situations. Doing her best to cheer up others. She will always try to make everyone smile. She often gets distracted easily, changing focus from one thing to another even in dire situations. She laughs at danger and loves to fight. Though to her it's just friendly games, she would never intentionally try to cause serious harm to anyone.

However when someone close to her is injured, she can do a complete flip in personality. Becoming ruthless and aggressive to avenge her loved ones. At this point she tends to be blinded in fury, attacking with disregard to her safety. Both and advantage and a weakness as it forces her opponent to be on guard but can leave her open in her reckless state.

This is typically a rare occurrence. Normally she is happy-go-lucky and very loving towards everyone she meets. Though she is often childish. Playing immature jokes and making immature remarks at time. She often displays an amount of childish innocence, however every once in a while she will make more adult, yet still immature, remarks that at times catch people off guard.

She looks up to her twin brother as a role model and a hero, even though they only recently met.

Backstory
At birth her and her older twin, Urdin, were separated. Urdin was taken by their father to be molded into a soldier, while Lila was taken by her mother who fled feeling that their father was not right to raise them. She was taken to Haven where she grew up living with her mother. She was originally enrolled in lessons for dance, until she started practicing with her mother's sword and incorporated dance into fighting with imaginary opponents. After this she was enrolled in combat school. Her mother supported her every step of the way. Helping her make friends and perfect her combat. Lila grew up knowing about her brother, as their grandfather would send reports to their mother. Though Lila's mother never dared to try and contact their father or Lila's brother for fear of their father retaliating.

Eventually Lila was transferred to Beacon in order to participate in the Vytal festival. Knowing that her brother attend Beacon she is trying to seek him out. Though only knowing his name and not what he looks like. She is determined to meet him.

Abilities
Lila is incredibly agile from years as a dancer. She has a speed to match. She uses this to close in attack opponents quickly before disengaging to prevent counter attacks. She moves with graceful precision, able to land on small landings and traverse distanced platforms such as tree branches. Her semblance helps in this. She has the ability to create tethers that can extend from her and help pull objects to her or herself to objects. Though this is limited by her physical strength, only pulling objects she could physically move herself. Also limited by range to around ten or so feet. It isn't telekinesis however, it acts like a rope and as such she cannot lift things from a stand still. Only pull them and/or whip them around when attached. The tether is easily broken by pulling on it, typically preventing her from using it on living creatures unless they are caught off guard.

Combat
She utilizes an evasive hit and run tactic in combat to out maneuver opponents. She uses a hand and a half sword named Messer that allows her to attack both one and two handedly. It can split in half down the center forming two single edged swords, recombine for one double edged sword, then finally can be configured into a semi-auto rifle firing Dust munitions. This gives her a wide range of engagement opportunities, however she lacks solid defensive abilities other than her agility.

Unarmed she is actually a weak fighter, not having much training in hand to hand combat. Mostly relying on quick palm strikes and kicks to protect herself, however she has no problems improvising weapons in her environment.
