Xylia Feldberg

 CHARACTER BUILD: ALPHA  "People believe the Grimm a just mindless monsters. I think there's just so much more to them that we don't understand." Xylia Brunel, unlike her teammates, has had a fairly good life. Her family are the leading researchers on the Creatures of Grimm, providing many discoveries as to their uses, behaviour, and more. The Brunels kept many Creatures of Grimm locked up for study, but because of this, Xylia was alienated by her peers.

One unfortunate night, a burglar broke into her house, inadvertently releasing every Grimm that occupied the area. The Brunels were awoken, and began to fight off the rampaging Grimm. Some were subdued, some were killed, but many had escaped into the nearby forest. During this schism, Xylia was blinded by a wayward attack, and became fearful about what would happen to her. Fortunately, the bony carapace of a Nightmare Maw killed in the attack had survived intact, and provided Xylia a form of vision, superior to that her human eyes had provided. Her father then enrolled her into Beacon Academy.

Personality
Despite her fearsome appearance, Xylia is quite friendly, willing to defend her allies, and maintains a pleasant demeanour in everything she does. People see her as eccentric and bizarre, but Xylia does not mind: as long as her friends focus on what she is on the inside, rather than her appearance, she's happy.

Weapon
Xylia wields two automatic shotguns she has dubbed "Fangs of the Darkness". The weapons can flip down at the barrel, and sprout curved knives to become bladed tonfas.
