Nymbus Övliin

Nymbus Övliin is a second year Beacon Student and a member of team SSAN. She loosely alludes to Genghis Khan.

Appearance
Nymbus is a young, tall lioness faunus with a toned yet slim physique with greenish blue eyes and long silver hair tied in a group of 6 braids that hang down her back.

Her usual attire is a sleeveless quilted gray cheongsam with a fur trim and white cloud decals over a blue sleeveless leotard. Hanging loosely on both her arms are three thick golden bracelets of different sizes. Her legs are covered by a long stockings that reach up to her thighs with thick golden rings hanging loosely on her feet. For her footwear she wears white oriental shoes with a similar cloud design like her top.

She has a second outfit (worn when doing Grimm-related missions) that is comprised of a quilted, buttoned-up vest with a similar cloud design like her cheongsam, protected by a light, scaled breastplate underneath a blue down jacket with grey accents with her emblem emblazoned on the back. For pants she wears dark-grey high-rise, slim-fitting pants and combat boots for her feet.

Personality
Nymbus is always seen as the outgoing tomboy of her team, as well as the most friendly. She's the straightforward, gutsy fighter who's sometimes too optimistic for her own good and loves watching a certain TV series.

She is, as previously stated, a tomboy who likes playing games, watching kung-fu or action movies, and, after training with Scarlett, sports like boxing. She's very blunt and quite honest, and sometimes loud. She's usually up for any challenge that's physical and does so head-on.

Surprisingly, she's more similar to her best friend that what others may think. If pushed too far, her temper can get the better of her and turning her into somewhat of a delinquent with her words being rather intimidating if her face isn't already clear.

She secretly has a crush on her partner, Akiba Tanegashima. She seems to only get flustered by him, and is more reserved when he's close by. She tries denies any suspicion of her love towards him, especially when he's around, but due to her obvious over-reactions against it has caused some of her teammates to tease her for fun.

Backstory
Nymbus was born in a calm, peaceful town in Patch. Her parents were hunters before retiring shortly after she was born. Due to her parents' job her family frequently moves from one place to another, as such she has been practically traveling all her childhood life. Due to this she doesn't make any long-lasting relationships, so she tried to find other hobbies to make up for it.

It was she was 8 that she watched a particular TV series and immediately got hooked into the story. This was then she began the hobby of watching the show, and other shows before it and upcoming. She quickly gained a great amount of interest in the TV series.

The main reason behind why she loved the series is the theme, and this gave her hope. The life lessons she learn from the show were quickly put into practice and gave way to her optimistic attitude.

It was when she was 13 she moved back to Patch, and to stay there she was put under the watch of a close friend of her parents. She was then enrolled into Signal Academy, and it was then she was introduced to a new fear, bullies.

She became an immediate target due to her faunus heritage, which only worsened once they learned of her interests. She was then saved by a pink-haired bat faunus named Scarlett Mircea Eredet who, to continue to protect her, told her to become her friend, which Nymbus hesitantly agreed. After a week together, Scarlett decided to help Nymbus by training her, which she was unsure of but decided to accept the help anyway.

With her newfound friend's help she began to change slowly, although she's still quite nerdy inside this is now overshadowed by a more energetic persona. A few days in training, Scarlett realized a Nymbus has great potential in becoming a huntress. At first, Nymbus didn't believe in Scarlett's words, but what she didn't know was that Scarlett had already begun training her into becoming a huntress. Scarlett also decided to help her in academics, so she became her usual study partner. This extra interaction with each other strengthened their friendship greatly and have even regarded each other as best friends after a year together.

When she graduated, with her being fairly above average (which was more than what she thought she could do), she was given recommendation for Beacon along with her other classmates, including Scarlett. At first she thought of declining, wishing to go to a more simpler combat school, but after hearing Scarlett's answer she also accepted the recommendation.

Emperor's Seals (Dust-Ring Turbine Charger Combat Set)
The King's Seals are a set of greaves and gauntlets and are Nymbus' main weapons.

The gauntlets have a golden oriental design that fits her whole hand and forearm. On both gauntlets are sets of rings or Seals. A Seal is made of two thick halves of one ring connected with a hinge on one side and snaps shut by a magnetic lock at the other. the Seals are set up in an order, the one closest to her hand is the smallest to the end of her forearm being the largest. These Seals are very strong, able to withstand mostly anything without a scratch.

Inside a Seal is a removable fan-like belt, with the blades being made of dust, with each Seal having its own dust type. Each Seal is also engraved a design pertaining to the type of dust the Seal's fan-belts are made of to easily identify the elements of each. The Seal's colors are also set in this order: orange, green, then dark blue, with the dust's order being Explosive, Wind, and Ice respectively.

Activated by her aura, the gauntlets spin railings that in turn spins the fan-belts inside the Seals like a turbine engine. This charges the Seals up until it is released in one big burst of (dust-imbued) pressurized air. Each Seal also has its own effects thanks to the dust fans of each. The fan-belts can be removed and replaced, even during battle. The two-part design allows the belts to be ejected by having the railings spin and shoot out the belts, as well as feed in a belt by the same process.

A total of three Seals can be activated at once, with each Seal having a different type of dust. She can charge them to a set amount causing the engraved designs on the Seals to glow, gradually getting brighter as the Seal's reach their charge cap.

The greaves are designed just like the gauntlets and also share a Seal but unlike the gauntlets its only one, but the size of it is larger and can has the fans exposed unlike the gauntlets, gving it an additional function of being able to shoot out a steady stream of high-speed, dust-infused air continuously. On the left is a red Seal while on the right is a yellow Seal, with dust being Fire and Lightning respectively.

When deactivated, the gauntlets and greaves retract to the Seals, which shrinks to thick, golden bracelets that hang loosely on her arms and lower legs.

Physical
Thank's to Scarlett's help, Nymbus is now very fit and has a well-toned physique. She is a martial artist who uses a mix of many different martial arts with Baji Quan being her core style. She's the team's main brawler who can fight against a group of assailants with ease thanks to her training and her weapon, Emperor's Seals.

She's quite light on her feet making her able to close the distance with her opponents quickly and is always the first to strike. Her reaction speed is exception, just enough to notice and block most incoming attack, but her strength is immense. She is capable of stopping a car running at 30 mph with her strength alone (while being protected with aura), and has trained on using her Aura offensively, which only adds to her power.

She has a surprisingly above average amount of aura, which is good considering that she mostly uses it to augment her attacks. She's also quite tough, and needs to be if she's got any chance at handling a strong opponent in CQC. In fights she always aims for large groups, thriving in the chaos while her teammates finish off the rest. Her priorities are to knock her opponents out as quickly as possible and as many as possible, using strong kicks and punches with her hits centering around an opponent's weak spots or center mass.

Mental
She is an above average student who can reach above average grades at best. She's quite talented in fighting against groups of people, able to single out the most dangerous or important out of the crowd and prioritizes them first before the rest.

Despite her intelligence, she's no pushover when it comes to her ability to think while in battle. She has good reaction time and focus. She was trained in many unique situations which have given her some special skills like a heightened sense of hearing after being forced to fight without sight.

She does has a great knowledge of a certain TV series, and sometimes even applies the things she learns from it in real life. She also loves using some of the moves in it and applying it in her fighting style.

Roaring Soul
Gives her the ability to create large shockwaves using her voice through shouting. The strength of her roars are determined by her aura, how much air she's inhaled beforehand, and the force and volume of the roar. The shockwave's range is around 50 to 100 feet and can shatter windows and damage or destroy objects with a power akin to that of a category 2 to 4 hurricane. She can roar in a cone in front of her for maximum range or around her in a circle to take out anyone within close proximity.

The shockwaves can also be mixed in with dust, which have a unique effect on her roars. For instance, Fire dust causes her roar to be more akin to a dragon breathing fire due to the shockwave and the air around it being engulfed in flames, or how Ice dust causes the shockwave to freeze the air around it and even causes crystals to form on the ground.

This, however, takes a lot of air out of her, leaving her lungs empty and desperate for air. This also tires her out easily due to it needing aura as well as her breathe.

Weaknesses
Nymbus, though her strength is great, its easy to keep her at bay by using ranged weapons like machine guns, and has trouble handling defense-oriented fighters. She also hates fighting Nevermores, complaining that their almost always out of her reach and shoot out a rain of feathers that are very annoying to her.

She's also lacking in range due to her weapon being created for close to almost medium range at best. She also needs to keep close to her opponents to be effective. One only needs to hide in a far and safe place with a range weapon in hand to beat her. She also has a habit of overdoing her attacks or using up her aura quickly with her semblance when she starts to get either frustrated or overexcited in battle.

She's not that much of a thinker unlike her partner and leader, instead leading by instinct rather than thought. Unfortunately, its because of this she gets into trouble easily, like diving into a room filled with armed opponents alone or accidentally tripping a trap. She's also not that good with direction, and has sometimes gotten herself lost in the hallways of Beacon.

Her weapon is susceptible to jamming, the easiest way to jam it is by simply feeding in a fan-belt wrong, causing damage to the railing inside. Also, hitting the Seals hard enough while its fans are spinning can also cause a jam, which may lead to an explosion that destroys the entire gauntlet or greave, as well as injuring Nymbus.

She is also easy to predict due to her weapons. Since it charges up for a given amount of time and glows, an opponent can easily expect when and what her next attack will be.

Etymology
Nymbus is derived from the word Nimbus, a luminous cloud or a halo surrounding a supernatural being or a saint. It also means a large gray rain cloud, which is where I got her color scheme from.

Övliin is just the romanization of өвлийн, which means winter.
