[indent][b]Appearance:[/b][/indent]
[center][hider=By NyaranK][img]https://i.imgur.com/sYhsE5q.jpg[/img][/hider][/center]
Diamond is a rather tall woman with a lean build, being 178 centimeters tall. She’s only as strong as she needs to be, having developed a physique for slipping into tight spots and blending in with the crowd. The woman weighs around 62 kilos with slightly lower than average percentage of body fat.


The dominant feature of her face are her eyes, which are sky blue and have a turquoise glow to them due to her dust implant. Her hair is golden in color and cut short, styled into backwards facing spikes. As a northerner from Atlas, Diamond’s skin is very pale.


The dust implanted in her caused a blue pattern to develop on her back and an overuse left a crystalline blue weblike pattern on her right arm. If she uses her ice spells, these along with her eyes glow blue, and her eyes flash into white when casting a kinetic spell.


She doesn’t wear a battledress in the traditional sense, preferring not to be hindered by armor of any sort. With her semblance and dust implant she also prefers to leave her arms exposed, usually wearing a pair of sturdy boots, pants and a vest.


Diamond carries herself with pride most of the time and makes good use of nonverbal communication, having learned the meaning of various gestures and being able to use them to convey a different meaning from what she is actually saying. In combat she moves with the fluidity of a gymnast.


[indent][b]History:[/b][/indent]
During a particularly nasty winter, a child was born to an uncaring mother who barely had enough mercy to leave the girl on the doorstep of the first house far enough. As it so happened a rather poor elderly woman lived there and upon finding the crying newborn took her in. She gave the girl the name Diamond due to her blue eyes.
Unfortunately, five years later Diamond’s adoptive mother died, leaving the girl to fend for herself on the streets. A crafty little thing, she quickly found out that instead of begging for the food, it was easier to simply take it when no one was looking. 


Living in poverty, the girl has had enough after two more years. Growing stronger, nimbler and bolder, Diamond started rifling the pockets of unsuspecting passer-bys. It didn’t take long for the gang whose territory she was on to threaten her into joining. Having nothing to lose and all to gain, Diamond was happy to accept.


In the next few years, Diamond slowly but steadily became great at her craft, rising through the gang’s ranks nicely. It all came to an abrupt end however when another gang made a move on their territory. During the fight her semblance manifested and gave her the means of escaping the brawl without getting hurt. Afterwards, she went solo again.


After honing her skills for several more years and nearly getting caught a few times, Diamond made a reputation for herself in the underworld. Finally, she got contracted to pull an art heist for the first time. She started working as a hired gun, taking items of opportunity for herself along her jobs. For the next year, she lived quite the luxurious life and amassed significant wealth for her age.


Growing careless, Diamond got caught by an undercover cop while pickpocketing for change. Having nothing on her other than the pickpocketing, her sentence was just a year in juvenile detention.


Coming face to face with several less than pleasant experiences and generally starting to understand that when she barely survived a month of Atlesian Juvy, she would die in a lifetime in an Atlesian prison, Diamond started working her hide off to make something of herself, moving to Vale and paying herself a crash course to drastically improve her combat abilities.
A year later, she made it into Beacon.


[indent][b]Personality:[/b][/indent]
In one word, Diamond is a [i]bitch[/i]. Sarcastic and cynical, she has nearly no moral blocks and will happily relieve you of money you didn’t guard well enough just to show you she can. The concept of friendship is something new to her and it shows in her opinion on people swinging easily. Diamond can feed you complete garbage without losing a serious expression on her face. If you piss her off, prepare to suffer a thoroughly planned humiliation.


She might be a criminal, but she is a classy one. Violent crimes are a strict no-go unless something has gone horribly wrong. She quite enjoys the thrill of sneaking around and defeating various obstacles like motion sensors and locks. In her mind, every moron can rob a dust store at gunpoint, but it takes skill to do it in a way that makes the owner notice only a day afterwards.


Apparently she is not past redemption, because after Juvy, she decided to do something with herself and applied to be a huntress, even though her main reason is to hone her skills rather than to protect the people.

[indent][b]Powers:[/b][/indent]
[list]
[*]Inborn[list]
[*][i]Shadowshifter[/i] - Diamond absorbs her shadow into her own being, gaining the ability to alter her own body much like the shadow before. She can turn any part of her body into a shadow form. In such a state, she is more resistant to physical damage, although her senses are somewhat dulled. The true ability is that Diamond can alter her shape within some bounds. Her shape has to remain humanoid in essence, but her limbs can stretch, sharpen or bulk up, for example she can grow talons or change her entire forearm into a blade. She can also turn flatten herself into a shadow to pass through small gaps like under the door.[/list]
[*]Acquired[list]
[*][i]Ice dust implant[/i] - Diamond had Ice dust fused into her nervous system, giving her the ability to cast spells through her fantasy alone. This kind of dust allows her to create and manipulate ice. It comes with downsides though - too voluminous or quick casting will damage her nerves, or other tissues in later stages.
[*][i]Kinetic dust implant[/i] - Same as above, granting Diamond telekinetic abilities. Other than moving things with her mind she can also use this to project physical attacks over distance.[/list][/list]
[indent][b]Relationships:[/b][/indent]
[list]
[*][i]Cobalt Chideta:[/i] “A passive lad. I don’t mind him, but I also fail to notice he’s in the room half of the time.”
[*][i]Oswald Connoly:[/i] “Ugh! His attitude can be infuriating, especially when he’s not much better than I am. It’s in his eyes. He’s seen - and done - some nasty things.”
[*][i]Emerald Felicia:[/i] “Lovable goof, infuriating airhead. Just friends.”
[*][i]Esther Vanhomrigh:[/i] “Just benefits.”
[*][i]Träd Oak:[/i] “Smoking and drinking buddy. Quite possibly the only person in this school that I can stand without any reservations.”
[*][i]Sapphire Rode:[/i] “Someone from an entirely different world than I. She has the right to her opinions. They’re mostly wrong, of course, but hey.”
[*][i]Kuhaku Shiro:[/i] “Infuriating klutz, comedic relief. Generally harmless and epically innocent.”
[*][i]Skyra Dawn:[/i] “Very recent acquaintance. Dunno. Seems to follow the general feline faunus trend though.”
[*][i]Amaranth Desire:[/i] “The reminder of the past I want to forget. Business, that’s all it was.”[/list]
