Lilac Shae

Origin
Born to Ivory and Taupe Shae, proprietors of the Shae Circus, she developed acrobatic skills early in life, also managing to learn nearly every language in Remnant. She has two brothers and one sister, all of whom worked in the circus and remained there to the present day.

There was no turning point that led to Lilac's decision to become a huntress, she 'just seemed to want more out of life' (Ivory Shae). She attended combat school and was accepted into Beacon, both schools of which she attended while never removing the white porcelain mask she uses to both conceal her face, display basic 'emotional' responses to those around her and to intimidate her opponents.



Weapon
A modified Bells Stick named 'Cacophony', the weapon is a dual baton/staff that she uses both in her acrobatics and as a melee weapon/projectile launcher. The stick itself elongates and compacts itself between its baton and staff state but the primary cause of damage are the bells on the end. Instead of the standard metal ball bearings normally used in bells, she loads them with small dust pellets that produce the same sound.

Semblance
An ability called 'Smoke and Mirrors' is a strictly hypnotic ability, used to distract opponents, allowing her to flee, frighten her opponents or seek assistance from her team. The ability is an active one and while she could potentially be capable of forming an attack with Cacophony whilst maintaining the illusion, during her time in Beacon, she remained unable to.

Her semblance has a negative aspect, often resulting in her seeing the products of those illusions without producing them herself, mostly in the form of hallucinations in the throes of sleep paralysis, while frightening, they do not do damage to her.

Trivia

 * Afraid of fish
 * The trademark bell belt she wears was not originally a part of her arsenal, instead being gifted to her by Hunter in their early weeks of being team HLQN as a way of offering friendship to the acrobat.
