Catharine Leblanc ||| The Elemental Rider

"I intend to find out everything about my past, and why it happened... Before I do that, though, I have to remake old ties with family members..."

CHARACTER

Name: Catharine “Capric” Leblanc

Age: Twenty Years of Age; Born on the fifteenth day of the first month.

Gender: Female

Species: Alpine Ibex Faunus (Has a pair of curved horns that begin above her ears and near her temples.)

Call Sign/Symbol: A tribal version of the animal representation image of Capricorn. Its horns appear to be larger and longer, and its tail is much thinner, with only a single tuft of fur depicted to be at the end of it, making it seem like it has a sort of tail that demons are pictured to have. Its eye would be visible, though would be narrowed and of a single, bold coloring. The outline of its mouth would be seen, and it would be slightly parted, revealing its teeth, which are actually somewhat sharp; an abnormal quality for a caprine animal. Should one look closely, they would see that it tugs upwards in a subtle, yet chillingly crooked smile.

Occupation(s)/Student Year: Professional/Hobbyist Skater, Professional/Hobbyist Weaponsmith, Professional/Hobbyist Dancer (Most genres), Beacon Fourth-Year

Personality: Right off the bat, Catharine tends to come off as the type who is cold and calculating at first. In the eyes of both teachers and fellow students alike, she’s rather infamous for putting up a relentless and intellectual front. Towards those that she knows little to nothing about or sees as acquaintances, she’s known to be rather challenging and wouldn’t hesitate to call someone out for something that he or she was iffy or wrong about- and would more than likely back herself up as best as she could with a frightening and intimidating sense of calmness, and, at times, aggression. Safe to say, she takes little to no insults thrown at her, and wouldn’t hesitate to thrash a person if she were annoyed to a certain degree. Because of this, people tend to either try to stay on her good side or act on their best behavior when talking to her- with the exception of teachers, at least.

Unless a person were to severely enrage her, however, this first wall of her personality is easily passed. After a few conversations with her – or perhaps a bold and witty, good-humored remark – she’ll put her normal, calculating exterior to bay for the most part. In this stage, she’ll show a continued sense of calmness, though one that’s much more intense than the version that she puts up. She’ll begin to grow more casual in manners and wouldn’t mind talking and joking around a lot more than she normally would. At this point, her true, kind-hearted, sarcastic, and somewhat joking nature makes an appearance, and is actually quite pleasant. Due to the force of her more well-known way of acting, however, people often keep their distance from her before finding this out.

Once she manages to receive a person’s friend status, or vice versa, she stays loyal to the subject(s) at hand unless her trust was shattered. Rather than staying within her cold and commanding nature that she displays for others to see, she’ll act more lighthearted and happy around her companions, and wouldn’t hesitate to fight for their side of things if they were assaulted or needed aid. Should her trust be broken, however, she’ll have no thoughts about leaving those who betrayed her in the dust. Under some circumstances, she’d forgive, forget, and start anew, but tends to hold some sort of grudge against those who had wronged her while completely ignoring their existence.

Somewhat of a heavy drinker. She drinks for the fun of it most of the time, though does drink as a stress relief, as well. Has an extremely high tolerance that causes her to have the inability to be ‘buzzed’ until she consumes higher amounts of alcohol. As a result, she can handle liquids that are either one hundred percent of majority-portioned alcohol quite well.

Strengths:
+Lithe and agile.
+Strong leg muscles from the Alpine Ibex’s influence.
+Has an exceptional skill with her Semblance, as well as a high aura capacity.
+Has high skill with close/disarmed, bladed, and polearm combat.
+Normally lets nothing faze her; has a strong mentality.
+An internal strategist.
+A strong observer. Notices things much quicker than others.
+Her lung capacity is larger than most others, which increases her stamina.
+Augmented and exceptional strength from both personal and private training.

Weaknesses:
-Often pushes herself over the edge with her Semblance, which results in sores and headaches.
-Cocky. Her pride regarding her abilities both with and without a skateboard tend to blind her on occasion. (But she does know when she can’t handle a battle.)
-Secretive and keeps to herself about her problems. While she doesn’t let any others faze her, this fact tends to make herself her own, primary enemy.
-Her drinking habits may get a bit overwhelming.
-Has no legitimate ranged weaponry to counter some types of fighters.
-Her initial, cold nature tends to drive others away at first most of the time.
-When she isn’t drinking her troubles away, she often solves her problems privately, yet physically. In addition to her Semblance-related sores, she has other scars and bruises that she keeps hidden.
-Suffers from Sleep Paralysis. She prefers to sleep, but the shock and discomfort of the condition truly does frighten her, so she tends to sleep as little as she can. As a result, she’s often tired, though rarely lets it show/hides this fact.

Semblance: Elemental Drive ||| Catharine’s Semblance grants her the ability to manipulate Dust at will, regardless of whether it’s processed or in its raw, crystallized form. Of course, raw Dust provides a much stronger impact than processed Dust, though requires much higher skill and care to use. Because of the intense amounts of practice that she’s put into her Semblance mastery, however, she often has little to no problem with handling raw Dust to amplify her effects.

All in all, Catharine can use abilities to do a mass amount of things; from something simple as sending a blast of Dust-influenced aura to strike her foe, to creating a Dust-composed structure to serve as a temporary weapon. It’s safe to say that, the more powerful/lasting of an action that she pulls off, the more aura is drained from her being.

Due to immense amounts of training throughout the years, she’s capable of using her Semblance for perhaps about twenty-seven minutes without breaks, with the cooldown rate being equivalent to the amount of time that she uses it for. If she were to take her past her limits – which she normally does when training – then the cooldown would be increased by the amount of time that she went overdrive in.


WEAPON ONE

Name: Midnight Dancer

First Form: A lightweight and metallic cross between a skateboard and a hoverboard. Its coloring is a base shade of a shining, glassy hue of a reflective lavender, and is designed so that the edges are a bit more jagged and layered, giving it a somewhat futuristic and flashy look in comparison to most other skateboards. Its wheels and axels are retractable and able to withstand compression, and, depending on whether it is in skateboard or hoverboard mode, they are capable of sliding into the bottom portions of the board itself. Regardless of whether one is looking at the bottom or the top of the board, he or she would see various, grid-like designs of multiple, overlapping colors, which are actually vast amounts of different types of Dust currents that course throughout the board itself. When in hoverboard mode, Midnight Dancer enables movement through its Dust and powered air currents which allow it to maintain its levitation-like state. It expels said currents in a smooth and virtually soundless manner, enabling a swift, efficient, and, at times, stealthy means of movement.

Second Form: Takes the form of a French Falchion. The majority of the board folds inwards, its metal compressing and flattening to compose both a blunt and sharp portion of the blade. While upon their axels, the front wheels slide down along a small, tower-like build that forms on either side of the blade, locking roughly three quarters of the way down its basic form until it reaches the other two wheels. When at this point, the wheels begin to shift about, forming a sort of handleguard. The remaining portion beneath it becomes the handle.

Of course, the Dust currents that were seen within the Primary Form as still evident, and the Dust that each one holds could be expelled through ports located in the center of the blade. When it switches from Primary to Secondary Form, a small, narrowed slit/gap is actually seen striking across the middle portion of Midnight Dancer. This is to emphasize strikes should a target be stabbed, and is also the area in which the Dust ports enable Dust to be released from. The Dust modes are controlled and triggered by the handleguard, which is rotational and sets to a specific Dust mode depending on how it’s turned/tilted.

Third Form: N/A

History: Crafted with the aid and initial skateboard blueprints of one of her other friends and cousins, Tyrrence Phaenin. As a result of sharing skating in general as a common interest, Tyrrence helped Catharine compose a new skateboard/hoverboard based off of his own, and this is why his board and Catharine’s board hold similar designs when in primary form. Catharine herself took the wheel when creating the more weapon-based aspects of Dancer.


WEAPON TWO

Name: Heaven’s Judgment

First Form: A simple, lightweight, and metallic quarterstaff of a reflective black coloring. Its tips have larger structures in comparison to most other quarterstaffs to emphasize damage when a strike is landed, and one of the tips is somewhat longer and larger than the other. Thin Dust channels can also be seen throughout the entirety of the staff itself, overlapping one another in a grid-like pattern and joining together around either tip of the staff. Ports can be seen across the tips in order to allow Dust to be expelled accordingly and voluntarily with strikes. The end of Judgment with the smaller tip has a chain attached to it.

In this form, Heaven’s Judgment is roughly four and a half feet long. Its chains measure up to roughly four and a half feet long, though are layered and clipped a couple of times to prevent from dragging across the floor.

Second Form: Judgment expands outwards, gaining roughly a foot and a fourth lengthwise. In addition, the larger staff of the quarterstaff expands and unfolds, its metal stretching flat towards opposite sides to form a duo of short blades. The top of the weapon also expands in the same way, causing the weapon to gain another, final, and longer blade that extends vertically outwards alongside the rest of the polearm. The Dust channels within the Primary Form are still seen cycling all throughout the pole of the weapon, as well as the blade heads, and can be released voluntarily with each strike that she wishes.

In this form, Heaven’s Judgment shifts from a quarterstaff to a halberd-type weapon.

Third Form: N/A

History: Heaven’s Judgment was actually the first weapon that Catharine had acquired, and was crafted during her years in Signal Academy. It started out as a simple quarterstaff in general, though she gradually adjusted to what it is today throughout the previous years.


WEAPON THREE

Name: Caprine Drive

First Form: Actually takes the form of an ordinary pair of women’s combat boots- the primary pair that Catharine wears, in fact. In this form, this is all they are. Either boot is composed within an outer layer of black layer, cuts off roughly halfway up the thigh, and is complete with the laces that kept it fastened to the according foot. The soles and heels of her boots give her maybe an inch and a half of height, though actually have several thin layers of a durable yet lightweight metal locked within. When within this form, however, they aren’t visible at all, and are simply kept within her boots.

Second Form: While still maintaining their general, boot-like figures, both parts of Caprine Drive open their soles the slightest bit, allowing the metallic plates locked within them to surface. When within this form, they would slide across the leather of both boots, layering the material in a couple of sheets of the metal, transforming them from ordinary, fashionable combat boots to padded, metal-toed boots that were, quite literally, boots designed for heavy and effective combat. Much like her clothing, Dust threads and channels are seen striking all throughout the metals, and seem to be able to empty through ports that outline the entirety of her soles by that point.

Third Form: N/A

History: The second set of weaponry that Catharine composed for herself. This was created during the time that she began to delve deeper within weaponry studies.
