Blau Ritter

"If you comment on my height again, Royt, they WILL NOT FIND YOUR BODY!!!!"

- Blau Ritter, to Royt when he makes short jokes Blau Ritter is a female harpy eagle Faunus from the kingdom of Mistral and the second-in-command of Team ABRN. Her weapons of choice are a Twin-Cannon Great Shield called Pearly Gates, and a Dust-Channeling Broadsword called Finger of God.

Appearance
Blau is, to put it simply, tiny. She stands at 4'11" and weighs 105 pounds soaking wet. Of course, in full battle array this weight increases to 180, because despite her size, Blau is physically the strongest member of her team. No one really understands where her strength comes from, as she doesn't seem to have any massive musculature, but she is capable of wearing her 30-pound armor and wielding the combined 45-pound weight of her weapons with ease.

She has lightly-tanned skin and hair that is so dark brown it is often mistaken for black. She keeps her hair in a long ponytail tied with a pink ribbon; the ponytail pretty much lies wherever it lands, as she doesn't bother moving it out of her way except for battle. In battle, her helmet forces it to lie flat between her shoulder blades. Her eyes are caramel brown, but glow white when she uses her Semblance.

Being a harpy eagle Faunus, Blau has a pair of massive, cream-colored wings on her back. She dyes several of the feathers blue, and the tips and edges are naturally black. Though the wings are enormous, they are quite light, only contributing about five pounds to her total body weight. They do not allow her to fly, but they are muscular enough to be held stiff to the sides, allowing her to glide great distances, unless she is wearing her armor, in which case she is far too heavy to remain aloft. They also allow her to appear intimidating in battle, flaring up and making her look much bigger and more threatening.

Clothing
Blau's clothing is very functional, not overly revealing, but not exactly a nun's habit either: she wears a royal blue shirt and combat skirt with gold trim, but an odd shape. The shirt's hem is diagonal, with the right side ending just below her rib cage and the left side draping down to her waist, ending wear her belt begins. This cut exposes most of her midriff as well as her navel piercing, a little silver hook with a sapphire stud. The shirt is mostly backless, allowing her wings to move freely. Her skirt is cut similarly but on the opposite side, with the left side ending halfway down her thigh and the right ending just below her knee. Around her waist is a brown belt with a sword frog that holds the sheath of Finger of God. On her back, attached to silver epaulets that act as her shoulder armor, is a sling that holds Pearly Gates; while she has Pearly Gates on her back, her wings are folded under it, concealing them fairly well. On her feet she wears knee length blue socks and black riding boots with silver buckles.

Armor
Blau's battle array consists of a breastplate, bracers, greaves, a helmet,and her epaulets, all made of a moderately heavy, super-tough alloy that is highly reflective; when she wears it she appears to be bathed in light due to her Aura reflecting off of it. Adding this to her outspread wings and weaponry, she looks like an angel or Valkyrie in battle. The armor has her symbol, a pair of blue wings projecting from a stylized shield, emblazoned on her breastplate. Her helmet is domed and has a full-face visor with diagonal eye-slits.
