- Styx Azure

Appearance
Styx is a slightly shorter-than-average young woman of fair complexion with a slightly toned body. She has wavy bright salmon hair that goes halfway down her back, with sideswept bangs covering her forehead. A braid from her hair interweaved with a striped cream and dark gray ribbon is also tied up over the top of her head like a headband. Her eyes are midnight blue, and while her eyes look like they're not fully open, they have a dreamy, drowsy-like look to them.

Styx's regular day-to-day attire (non-school uniform) consists of a long-sleeved cream short dress that goes above her knees with two skinny black belts wrapped around her waistline. The top is covered by a dark gray bolero with navy blue trim, and the bolero extends all the way down to her right wrist, covering her right arm like a jacket. The bolero is secured with lighter gray straps crossing over her chest. Her legs are covered with skin-tight black leggings that are slightly sheer. She wears black stiletto shin-high boots, with cream folds at the top, heels, and toes, with a midnight blue bow on each boot.

The PJs that Styx prefers to wear while attending Beacon consists of a plain baggy navy t-shirt and baggy pale pink fleece pants, with black swirls patterned everywhere. When she's in her PJs, she also undos the braid and puts her hair up in a bun.

Styx wears faint indigo-colored eyeshadow, a little mascara, and a little bit of lipstick on a fairly regular basis. She also has one piercing on each ear, with a single extra piercing at the top of her right ear. For her piercings, she prefers to wear her tiny golden hooped earrings.

History
Styx was born to two parents, who ran a successful family cafe together deep within the city of Vale. She also had an older brother, Cronus, who was three years older, and a younger brother, Perses, by two years. Her family was seen to be average.

On the other hand, her father had an occasional distaste for her, and eventually spilled the beans at the age of six when he had too many drinks:

"Sometimes, I wish that you were my son and not the daughter I had gotten."

Though she was young, Styx had an immediate sense that her father had never wanted her, and wanted to try to prove him wrong.

When she was eight years old, she and her family decided to go camping for three days in a cabin out in a nearby forest for a family vacation. On the last day of the trip, while her mother and Perses stayed back at the cabin to prepare dinner, Styx went with Cronus and father to go gather some firewood, believing that helping out would help change her father's thoughts of her. As the three had almost completed gathering enough firewood, Styx was attacked by two Ursas--one of which had knocked her out immediately and left her a scar on her left side. Upon waking up moments later, she had seen the bodies of the two Ursas which were mangled, and her father shakily standing over Cronus's sprawled out body struck down with the axe they were previously using.

Her father had noticed Styx waking up and turned to her. His eyes did not have the same luster that they always had, and felt desolate this time. She knew something was off and began to crawl away. He grabbed the axe out of Cronus's body and began walking towards her, with the intent to kill her looming in his eyes.

Before he could strike down, a lavender streak out of nowhere had deflected the axe in his hand. A hunter had stepped in to protect her and incapacitated her father. The next thing she remembered, her father was arrested, tried, and incarcerated for killing his son and attempting to kill Styx.

This experience made her realize her desire to attend a combat school, and eventually, a Huntress--simply to protect others and herself, as a constant reminder to the incident. Styx attended a combat school, while looking up to the hunter that had saved her life that day, Saturn. She and Saturn would occasionally train together to polish her skills outside of school. While attending school, she also did not forget about her remaining family members--her mother and Perses, helped out with the family cafe occasionally as a barista and waitress.

Days before Styx began to attend Beacon Academy, she wanted to tie up loose ends with her imprisoned father and put the past behind her. Even though the incident happened nearly 10 years ago, she could not put the past behind her and held so much hatred for him over the years. As she had brought it up with him, he immediately tried to defend himself and claimed that if she had paid more attention to the damage that was done on his body, the Ursas had already severed some major arteries and veins in Cronus's neck and one of his arms, leaving him to bleed out and die as there was no hope of saving him immediately. He also remembered the words his son whispered out to him in his final breath:

"Father, please...there is no hope for me. End my misery, I beg of you..."

And with slight hesitation, he eventually killed Cronus to end his son's suffering. Her father had also said that he "lost his sanity" when killing his eldest son, and his darkest thoughts he thought he had repressed of not wanting his daughter had surfaced, thus the attempt to murder Styx.

Having listened to the story, it left Styx speechless, not knowing what to say. Although her hatred had not fizzled out completely, she left the prison without saying a word as she tried to gather up all of her thoughts and emotions. She left with a sense of partial closure to just push the matter aside, but no forgiveness for her father whatsoever.

Weapon
-SECTION TBE-

Styx's weapon is an extendable and retractable jo (staff) dubbed Charon, made from a durable and lightweight metal. At the top end, there is also a foldable short blade which can transform the jo into a naginata. The bottom end is capped with a donut-shaped metal ring, making Charon's both ends usable if necessary. The hole in the ring allows her to deploy mini flash grenades, making it perfect for either an escape or a quick ambush.
