Crystal Nelde: A character with much ahead of time planning from the description of the profile as well as basic strengths and weaknesses. Her overall personality is understandable, as child abuse and neglect as well as being a social outcast is rather common in the spark of reality.

Appearance is also well thought out as basic anatomy is also a factor into the development of an original character. Being "weak", light weight clothing is given and utilized properly.

Semblance is passable, as the use of Aura to manipulate certain forces of nature has been seen in the series before. I can see many ways as to how this semblance might be effective against any other character that uses Dust crystals to power their weapons.

Speaking of weapons, Crystal's is rather interesting to say the least. A bracelet that switches the "ammo" of a set of wings that fires a beam while the bracelet can also be used to cast Dust based attacks. With proper flaws being inputted into the weapons as well, this in theory would make her cautious in battle. Avoiding enemy attacks to fire off a well placed shot.

Combat efficiency is also inputed as well. Being physically weaker than her other teammates and not lasting long in battle, this means she'll have to think strategically. Using speed, Tust and Faith and flying around her enemies to gain the advantage in battle. Her Aura synergizes well with her weapons and fighting style. Being weak and easily worn out, her Aura can take most of the heat of battle and attacks.

Verdict: Character portrays strength that cannot be measured by "muscle" alone. Her backstory and how she leads the team is what gives her strength to continue forward in her proud future on the fanon. Weaknesses, what can I say? I'm a man who loves flaws. Flaws are what separates from a good character, to a great one. Everyone deserves to have some sort of flaw. It helps them grow, and without it then a character is rather... dull. Struggles are also what make a character interesting as well, and Crystal is no exception. I don't really know how to improve upon this character. Her portayal and allusion goes well together. But is there room for improvement? Of course. Just not now.

Accepted.
