Twila Fenne

Twila Fenne is a first-year Huntress and member of Team PLTE. She was created by AwesomeSauce14 (story) and Lunatyll (art).

Appearance
Twila is a girl of slightly over average stature, about 5’8”, but she is the tallest member of her team. She would be considered having an average build, not particularly fat, skinny or muscular. She has long hair that is pale green in color, and red eyes. Her skin is quite pale, and she is quite vulnerable to sunburns. As a wolf Faunus, she has wolf ears and a tail.

Outfit wise, Twila wears a teal top and white leggings with teal stripes down the outsides. She also wears a long white jacket, which usually covers her tail. A pair of goggles is usually perched on her head, in front of her wolf ears.

Personality
Twila is sly, and a quick thinker. She is an amazing strategist, and is usually responsible for their team’s battle strategies, as none of the others are particularly good and stuff. Twila is also very confident and determined, which is often reflected in her body language and facial expression. Twila gets along pretty well with Pomona and Eleni, but frequently buts heads with Lark, as Twila is a wolf faunus and Lark is a sheep faunus.

Background
Twila grew up in a smaller city with a large Faunus population in the kingdom of Vale. The Fenne family was one of the more wealthy families in the city, but they used their wealth well and helped the less fortunate families in the city. The people in this city were a tight-knit group, but friendships began to break when the White Fang began coming around and recruiting members from the Faunus population. Any remaining humans were kicked out, and anyone who did not support the White Fang was as well. After her family was kicked out of their own home, Twila had decided she wanted to become a Huntress, and fight to stop injustice like this. She began training at Signal, and eventually graduated, going to Beacon, where she would meet teammates Pomona Winters, Lark Delaney and Eleni Amaranth.

Main Weapon
Twila’s main weapon is a Dust-infused shield called “Sunset.” It has retractable blades along the edge which can also be detached to be used as throwing knives. Twila will often throw the shield as a projectile with the blades out to inflict damage. The shield is infused with lightning and wind Dust, both of which Twila can activate remotely, such as when it’s thrown.

Secondary Weapon
Twila’s secondary weapon is a small slingshot made by Lark that throws small spherical Dust crystals which explode on contact. Twila hates using it, as she feels it is childish, but if needed, she will.

Semblance
Twila’s Semblance is known as “Nightfall.” With this, she has the ability to control the perception of time. She is not able to actually slow down, speed up or stop time, just how others feel it. Usually, someone experiencing the effects of Twila’s Semblance will see any surroundings turn dark or blurry and the actions of themselves and others slow down or speed up. Twila has no way to make someone experience a complete stop of time.

Trivia

 * Twila is a slightly abbreviated version of the word “twilight.”
 * Twila’s last name comes from the Middle English fenn meaning “marsh, bog.”
 * Twila’s name, as well as her color, come from us basing her off of night. My co-creator, Lunatyll, also based her slightly off the Twili from the Legend of Zelda video game series.
 * Fitting in with the “worldly opposites” theme of the team, Twila represents death. Although this may contrast her personality, she is based off of night, which is often related with death. This is also to contrast Twila’s partner, Lark Delaney, who represents life.
