Tala Tyrson

"Never forget those who study the past for the past predestines the future"
Tala Tyreson is a tank type character who's main weapon is her armor.

Appearance
At 6ft. 8in. Tala is taller than most of the people she meets. This already noticible trait in accented by her long pink hair and her red eyes, even if those eyes are perpetually buried in a book. A mish mash of small scars cover Tala's arms with three long ones running down her back. Her fanus nature has given her claws. Due to being raised the wild she almost never takes off her armor and when she does she only has two varieties of outfits. Her first and the one she wears in public is a white dress shirt with a red tie covered by a black sweater, with black slacks and dress shoes. The second and the one that she only wears around the house (and sometimes the library) is a red stained tank top and a pair of large also red sweat pants.

Personality
Due to Tala being raised in the wilds she was sheltered from much of the anti-fanus rhetoric that plagues the big cities however that also means that her social skills are extremely underdeveloped. She also inherited her parents puns often almost derailing a conversation to see how many puns she can string in a row. While she is a very happy person she will often accidentally creep out potential friends or space out into a book creating the general impression that shes nice but weird. Partially due to her lack of friends but also due to her nature she tends to be rather protective of her friends and while wild outbursts of anger are not her style she is frighteningly good at making peoples lives hell.

Backstory
Tala was born in Minstral, However her parents chose to leave there before she was even able to walk for reasons unknown to her. From there she played and learned in the wild as her parents moved from village to village all over Remnant studying ancient ruins and finding rare pottery shards. With her mother is a well respected archaeologist and her father a top notch weapons engineer she still got all the education she need and even more so when it come to fighting grim. Seeing as they were traveling into dangerous areas they often had huntsmen with them for protection. Many of these protectors grew to adore the little girl that traveled with them and almost as soon as she was able she began training to fight grim. Her father began work on a suit of armor for her soon afterwords which quickly became her main weapon even if the early version were a bit quirky.

From this point they continued traveling. A huntress by the name of Claret began traveling with them soon after seeing Tala training with some of the other hunters. Claret quickly became Tala's main tutor, teaching her martial arts as well as the basics in several weapons before settling on twin pistol/dagger hybrids although these would never be Tala's main weapon. After the discovery of some ancient ruins when Tala was 10, the four moved to small village south of Vale. This village proved to be the longest that Tala had stayed anywhere with her turning 11 and the 12 in this village. It only ended when tragedy struck. After several attacks the village became more and more frightened leading to escalating Grim attacks. Most of the village did escape thanks to the hunters and huntresses that Tala's parents had brought with them but in the fighting Tala took a beowulf claw to her back. While she made a complete recovery both mentally and physically the scars on her back still stand to remind her of her rashness. After this disaster the group moved west towards Vacuo before turning back to Vale so that Tala could pursue higher education. Her decision to become a huntress was unsurprising and with Claret's help she enrolled in Beacon Academy.

Weapons/Abilities
Tala is an almost entirely defensive fighter. Because of her size she is quite strong which allows her to use her weapon, Fenrir. This weapon is actually a set of armor providing a massive amount of protection at the cost of Tala's speed. Her fighting style utilizes her long training and her claws by instead of focusing on a weapon she focusing on her body. She is an extremely skilled martial artist making her a very dangererous to go up against in close quarters although even with her twin pistol/daggers Morgul and Barrow she still is massively disadvantaged at a range. Her armor is remarkably smooth to deflect blows but on both her feet and her hands there are ridges of spikes that run up to the upper part of the limb. Tala's fighting uses this in a brutal way her every move used to create damage. Her armor adds to that as well with the ability to channel dust. Although she primarily uses lightning dust to electrify her armor she does use other forms of dust in various ways. She uses Morgul and Barrow only if necessary seeing as her aim is mediocre at best.

In team fighting she has somewhat of a disadvantage rarely not fighting solo or with Claret for most of her life. While she does understand strategy and puts it to use in a solo fight she often simply dosen't communicate with her team. In the past she has fought with several teams but many of them got angry at her for her perceived apathy.

Her semblance Valfreyja's Shield does exactly what it sounds like it creates shields. She can create control and mold up to five of the semi-transparent shields although the more shields she uses and the larger they are the weaker they get. She also has a range on them with them suddenly dropping in power after 15 meters. These shields can also be used for various other things whether tripping a combatant or stopping a fall. In addition these sheild can be infused with dust to give them some extra kick. When infused with dust the shields take on a slight tint relative to the dust although only those who have fought with Tala for an extended time will see it.
