Brunhilde Engelnacht

Do not steal nor edit MY property. - Fiernull

Appearance
Brunhilde is a young woman whose charming feminine features could rival other beautiful women among her age bracket. Her long, silky hair, tied in a ponytail by a black ribbon with her evenly-cut bangs that hangs loosely on her forehead, is as dark as a moonless night; her pale white body is slender enough to make her a swimsuit model; and her alluring dark purple eyes hides her hawk-eyed nature. With a black eye-patch covering her lost right eye, it made her image more daunting.

She always wear a simple, knee-length, black and white gothic dress with detached loose sleeves, and black high heels. Though they appear simple, they're all reinforced with layers of carbon nanotubes made by ArmorTech. Her weapon, Todeskralle, are hidden under her sleeves.

Her family emblem is located on her necklace.

Background
Brunhilde is the only child of Phlegethon and Yuzuki Engelnacht and the next head of the Engelnacht family, one of the new family branches under the Bluthardt family. At the age of four, she had already started her training as an assassin under her father and was desensitized swiftly at the age of six, making her first kill with a short sword when she was ordered to kill a petty old thief chained on the wall. Due to numerous lackeys, the Black Hounds hoarded by her mother, she adopted various fighting styles from them as well as their dirty fighting ones by training with them. Brunhilde also trained under many Shadow Keepers, the guardians of the Bluthardt family, in charge of protecting the Engelnacht family. She lost her right eye at the age of 11 when she underestimated a target, who is actually a professional ex-huntsman, but was swiftly defeated by her father. She was mentored by her mother in gathering intelligence, which she liked a lot, and hacking computers at the age of twelve. Besides being immersed in the inner workings of her family, her mother made sure that she also grows up as a poised aristocrat and heiress.

The family went to Atlas to attend a birthday party hosted by the Blutwright family, the former archnemesis of the Scharfsinnhardt family in which the two families merged as the Bluthardt family. Despite her age (13), many heir from other families sought to court her on that very party because of her beauty and relations to the Bluthardt family. She was showered with flattery and compliments from both sexes, which the young Brunhilde found annoying because of the fact that she had already faced fake people before when her mother brings her to business meetings. Just when she thought that the party is a waste of time, Mona Bluthardt, the Head of the Bluthardt family, brought her to meet her second cousins: the eight-year-old Basilia Bluthardt and the nine-year-old Cyzarine Bluthardt who always watch over her younger sister from afar. The three became friends quickly.

When her family decided to stay in Atlas for a month, Brunhilde took this opportunity to stay in the Bluthardt's household for the sake of playing with the two children. She found out that the they have two older siblings who are fraternal twins, Casper and Aricia, and were about to finish their training at BOB - Atlas. As she get to know her cousins, she was more fascinated of the young Cyzarine and at the same time saw her as "stiff, socially awkward, and clueless child" because the girl's introspective habit and most of all, her lack of expression. This is what prompted the her, with Basilia as her partner, to tease the girl with a pure goal of making her angry and to see such expression. But they failed to no end because Cyzarine only saw these schemes as a very strange game.

At the age of 15, Brunhilde continued working alongside her family by focusing her talent in gathering intelligence. She soon became one of Black Order Battalion - Vale's Specialist after she was recruited. However, she only did it for the sake of abiding by Mona's long term, secret plan.

After the Bluthardt siblings moved to Vale, she became one of their top sources of information. She gives any information that they want except to Cyzarine. The poor girl was, and still, sent into troublesome missions in which some has vague reasons why she has to do it. This caused Brunhilde to have a "not so very nice but not so bad" relationship with the two fraternal twins. Only Basilia knew of her playful motives.

Personality
Brunhilde carries herself with grace, confidence, and class that befits her high social status. She speaks with a sweet voice and politeness to everyone without showing what she truly feels behind her lovely smile and is friendly to people under her and whom she considered her equal. Even with an almost overwhelming positive traits, she does not treat everyone equally and can be intimidating to those whom she despises. She even chastise and anger others verbally with a nonchalant smile which would be the reason she doesn't have many friends.

She is both respected and feared by her family's subordinates because of her calculative demeanor but if she's with her close companions, she shows her true self. She whines like a spoiled child when she's tired or when there are too much paperwork to be done and is playful to the said people when she's on the mood. Her caring nature is also noticeable when with her close ones. She also has moderately sadistic tendencies.

Powers/Abilities
Brunhilde is a versatile assassin trained to use knives/daggers, swords, firearms (specialized in sniper rifle), and in martial arts. Her slim body was polished to be very flexible to fit narrow passages and to be as light as a feather in order no to garner unwanted attention when hiding in the shadows. Her stats between muscle strength and speed is almost balanced with the latter being a little dominant than the other. She doesn't have the endurance to fight prolonged battles.

Her exceptional intelligence gathering and hacking skills made her one of the most valued assets in the family and BOB. And as one of the managers of her family's company, Engelnacht Corporation, she's capable of handling people.

Semblance: Nexus Recon - an audio-visual sensory power that allows Brunhilde to gather intelligence, to observe surroundings, and to trail people by creating and controlling 4 black or white owls from her Aura. It is possible for her create 10 of them but a human brain is not built to do many things at once. Instead, it is only capable of switching attention from one task to another. Regarding Brunhilde's mental capacity, she can only handle four owls while not moving around much.

Since her white-colored Aura is strong and abundant, she can control them up to 150 meters from her position in 3 minutes maximum. The lesser the distance traveled by or number of created owls, the time limit increases by ten seconds. Cooldown time is 2 minutes if Brunhilde reached her limit.

Her eyes glows with golden light as a side effect.

Weapons
Schatten Schweig - Bullet Accelerator Sniper Rifle (BASR)

Default form: Box

It is modeled after Barrett M82- a .50 caliber, short recoil, semi-automatic anti-materiel rifle- with a gadget called Accelerator, a gun barrel with infused wind-gravity Dusts. It creates strong recoil which decreases the number of bullets she can shoot from 30 to 20 times per minute but it can make a projectile travel nearly as fast as the speed of sound. Its color is jet black with white highlights.

Brunhilde's longest sniping kill: 900 meters

Todeskralle - Exoskeleton Gun-Blade Claws (EGBC)

This mechanical weapons goes in pair which are not bulky and light enough to be worn inside Brunhilde's loose sleeves. These weapons are installed on the forearm part of black, long, thin-padded, insulated gloves made of composite graphene that covers up to the user's elbows.

The steel finger claws with Lightning Dusts are positioned above the forearm in its default form while it wraps around Brunhilde's fingers and covers the dorsal side of the hand when activated. The claws can also be deployed one by one.

The blades are a pair of short swords with .50 Desert Eagles (not including the grips) in the fuller. These are retractable weapons under the user's forearms in which the guns can be used without activating the blades. Brunhilde only use hollow-point bullets with Impact Dusts and bullet accelerator.

These emphasizes her favored use of hands rather than feet in combat.

Relationships

 * Casper Bluthardt - second cousin. They recognize each others' talents in gathering intelligence on professional level and constantly share intels with one another. They have a rather neutral relationship.
 * Aricia Bluthardt - second cousin. Brunhilde isn't in good terms with her and enjoys pushing Aricia's button.
 * Cyzarine Bluthardt - second cousin and student in martial arts. They almost have similar specialization in terms of speed combat and Brunhilde currently trains her to strengthen the young girl's glass cannon body. She is very fond of her and enjoys sending the girl on "troublesome" missions which she claims as part of training. Although she enjoys doing it, Brunhilde would never send her to dangerous missions that aren't on par with her skills and is critical of herself if she underestimated the missions' level of hazard. She tends to dote her a lot.
 * Basilia Bluthardt - second cousin. The person whom she's also fond of aside from Cyzarine. Brunhilde has the friendliest relationship with her among the Bluthardt siblings and sees the girl as her "equal". It may be partly because of their similarities.
