COLOR NAME REFERENCE

Color name reference is recognized. Arcelia does indeed have several meanings, but it's primary meaning comes from it's Spanish root, being treasure and altar of heaven. Both of these make you think more of gold and yellow, like heavenly light and golden coins.

APPEARANCE

Her appearance is short enough to be concise, but it paints a very complete picture of her. It's interesting that she looks so young and actively takes advantage of that fact. Nothing to detract from. No problems here.

PERSONALITY

The cold and calculating villain, with a familiar side toward her subordinates. How delightfully classic. She seems to be the villain you would trust, which makes her work even more. It would be very interesting to see how she unravels when all sense of control is removed. No obvious contradictions. No problems here.

BACKSTORY 

So, there is no backstory here. That was an easy rejection. And this isn't an argument, every page requires a backstory, even if it's supposed to be secret. We reviewers cannot do our job without them. If it isn't added, Arcelia will never be accepted. Major problem here.

WEAPONS AND COMBAT

Arcelia doesn't have a personal weapon. No problems here.

As for Arcelia's skill in combat, there is a big problem here. While her skills do not seem ludacris in any way, they are all sort of nullified as we have no idea how she got them or if how she got them makes the slightest amount of sense. Major problem here.

SEMBLANCE

Tempus as a Semblance sadly doesn't work, for two reasons: AoE Semblances can't be selective in nature, and it also is temporal in nature. As per the Guidelines, Semblances cannot be selective in what or who they affect, as per the first Guideline for Semblances. The main problem is how it, temporarily, regresses something in time. If it doesn't, the wording certainly makes it seem like it. Another problem is that the size of the boundary supposedly around her isn't clearly defined. Major problems here.

CONCLUSION: REJECTED (Lacks Backstory section, invalidating combative skills. Semblance is possible selective and counts as Time Manipulation.)

'''Arcelia would work brilliantly as the villain you can sit across from and not know that she has unscrupulous motives. However, without a backstory, I have no way of getting a picture of where she comes from and what she has learned over time. And the Semblance... is selective and clearly manipulates time in a sense, something which automatically rejects the character.'''
