Name: Silver Ash

Age: 14

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bi-Curious (has never dated, but knows she likes men and hasn't figured out about women).

Species: Human

Appearance: Silver stands at 5'6," so fairly tall for a girl her age, and is still growing.  She has an athletic build and a focused, hawk-like expression, which is made even more fierce by her piercing gold-flecked green eyes.  She keeps her light bronze and brown hair up in a ponytail most of the time, which hides a few scant silvery highlights and streaks through her glossy hair.  Her bangs are prominent, so she must often brush them out of the way.  She normally wears a light brown cloak, under which is her vermilion and warm brown armor.  It is clearly of Mistral descent, but made to be much sleeker, favoring less pointed shoulder pauldrons and more flexible plates, blurring the line between a traditional samurai armor set and something more modern.  She also keeps a utility belt with a variety of survival tools or secondary weapons.

Personality: Silver is a strong, and often unyieldingly stubborn young woman.  She's to-the-point, focused, and has a low tolerance for drama.  Because of this, and her temper, she often finds herself at odds with her mentor's teachings, to be calm and in the moment, to see the bigger picture but never losing perspective on the here-and-now.  Her fervor to make the world a better place is also in conflict with maintaining the natural balance of the world.  Even so, she's not without compassion, and will do her best to help others even in very subtle ways.

Backstory: Silver currently trains with Alonne deep in the jungles of Huolong Island.  The remoteness has molded her into a potent survivor, with a deep understanding and respect for nature.  She rarely discusses her past, only that she misses her parents deeply, and hopes to one day see them again.

Aura Color: White. (She seems to have an abnormally high amount of aura.  Evidence of this is that using her heavily taxing semblance seems to cause minor internal damage and severe exhaustion instead of outright depleting her aura and rendering her comatose.  That, and the amount of damage she can sustain before succumbing was enough to impress the war veteran and swordmaster Alonne.  Even so, she has a long way to go.)

Semblance: Time Loop Field.  Although the exact means of activating it eludes her, Silver is able to take a single moment in time and cause it to loop over and over again.  However, this time-frame is limited to one minute intervals, and unless she has added help, she cannot break out of a loop that involves her in the moment in question.  Activating this ability drains a huge amount of aura, as does deactivating it.  Maintaining it also drains aura, but due to the time reset any aura she's spent between activating and deactivating it returns to her when the loop resets again.  While it is a very unique ability, its limitations prevent it from being all-powerful or an instant fix for any situation.  She must also be within thirty meters of the scenario she wishes to loop.  Upon triggering a loop, she can regulate the time-field for up to one minute, causing time to reverse to one minute prior, proceed normally, and then reverse again.  Rinse, wash, repeat.  Any memories of the previous loops are retained by all subjects involved, even if someone dies in a loop.  She could use this ability to save herself but all she'd do is cause a loop to repeat with her dying over and over again endlessly.  For that reason, and the obvious moral issues with messing around with time, she does not make frequent use of the ability, especially since, like Tanis's gravity manipulation, it also takes a toll on her body after breaking a loop.

Maiden Abilities: As the Winter Maiden, Silver possesses all the abilities described in the Maiden's chapter.  Her particular forte is lightning, water, and wind manipulation to create storms.  She will often use this to cool herself off, as she's never been one for the heat.  She can also cause organic matter to wither and die, though it will only work on living beings that are already dying.  She can produce a shield to deflect projectiles, and is all but immune to any Dust that uses water, wind, or lightning.  In fact, attempting to use the latter can quite literally, backfire.  Being so young, she's still learning the ropes of her abilities, but her harsh training under Alonne has given her much insight into her powers.  Her eyes will glow a very pale blue when her powers are active.

Choice of Dust: She will often use lightning Dust to fuel her attacks, allowing her to save the extra use of her powers for when she really needs to.  She rarely applies it directly as an attack in combat.  

Weapon: Silver's weapon of choice, and her only one, is her Odachi named: Kiba no Raiu, or Fang of Thunderstoms.  Her training under Alonne has made her a gifted user of this weapon.  Much like him, she favors a calculating, defensive style, similar to Star Wars Lightsaber Form III Soresu.  However, she is a bit more aggressive, using her own high physical strength and the blade's heaviness to her best advantage.  She will more likely counter-attack in response to an opening in the enemy's form that this strategy makes.  Her sword has a chrome guard, a dark, smoky warped blue-silvery blade, similar to Damascus steel or Valyrian steel from Game of Thrones.  The hilt is black, with a gold band tied to the end, as a memento from her mother.

Crush: None.

Faction: Mother Nature.

Other:  She and Alonne both prefer solitude to social graces, and like her mentor, she will try to prevent a conflict, though not to the same extent, as she lacks the patience that comes with great age and wisdom.
