[b]Name:[/b] Rika Thorn
[b]Age:[/b] 21
[b]Sex:[/b] Female
[b]Race:[/b] Fanus (Rabbit)
[b]Weapon:[/b] [i]Lucky Charm[/i] Mark V: Mechanical legs with engines built into the calves. They connect directly where her ruined legs were amputated years previous, and offer both a greater range of motion and a heavier blows than non-mechanical alternatives. When the engines are engaged, they accelerate Rika’s already quick kicks to preposterous levels. With the addition of Brambles, she can unleash a flurry of attacks to overwhelm her opponents defenses, before launching back out of range before her opponent can appropriately react. 
As a downside, they are quite heavy and aren’t as comfortable as her non-battle oriented prosthetics, making long missions difficult for Rika. When worn for extended periods of time, the metal parts and where they connect to her nerves begin to ache and dig in, causing intense pain around the connections.

[b]Specialty:[/b] Warrior/Scout. Utilizing her Semblance, Brambles, and her jet-powered kicks, she smashes through her weakened opponents with extreme prejudice. When fighting Grimm, she relies heavily on her power to ambush opponents that her teammates have lured in. Nigh on useless at any sort of range.  

[b]Semblance:[/b] [i]Brambles[/i] - In a predetermined area that requires a set-up time of nearly five minutes, Rika acquires a series of buffs that increase her natural aura, strength, speed, awareness, reaction time, and other generally physical traits. In addition, whomever Rika deems as her enemy suffers a reduction to their vitality and speed inside Brambles’ area of effect. Coupled with her already impressive kicking power from her prosthetic legs, she becomes the queen of the arena, nearly unbeatable in tests of strength or speed. 

[b]Personality:[/b] Always in a quietly pleasant mood. Quite a good liar and at home in nearly any situation, but is prone to daydreams and has a short attention span. Friendly to nearly everyone she meets, and never loses her good humor no matter the situation. 

[b]Color:[/b] Rosebud 

[b]Emblem:[/b] A bleeding heart horizontally crossed by a single line of bramble-thorn.

[b]Appearance:[/b] A relatively curvaceous young woman, complete with features best described as angelic. Rika has incredibly pale skin and beautifully maintained hair the color of freshly fallen snow. Big eyes of pinkish-red with long eyelashes complete the picture. She’s a tad shorter than average height when her prosthetics are installed.
She’s usually seen wearing hotpants, a bright red v-neck shirt made of the finest silk, and a fur-lined leather jacket in rosebud. Her unarmored prosthetics mimic her actual skin tone, covered up with dark boots that stretch up to her knees. 

[b]Bio:[/b] Her actual legs were mangled by Grimm when she was a young girl, which had to be amputated in order to save her life. The traumatizing act planted a seed of intense passion to defeat the Grimm that would inflict such horrors on others, and steeled the young girl's resolve to become a Huntress. Despite being confined to a wheelchair for several years after the incident, she managed to convince the staff of Signal Academy to take a chance of the crippled girl when she displayed her recently surfaced Semblance in action. Soon after, she talked another student into helping her design the ‘[i]Lucky Charm[/i] Mark I’ legs that made her struggle to her feet. It took nearly her entire high-school career to finally walk as she once had, and she made a splash in the entrance exam by crushing several large Grimm that her partner lured into range of her Brambles.

Not the leader of her team, but perhaps the power behind the throne. Nearly unbeatable in the arena if she’s able to set up her semblance beforehand, Rika functions as the close-combat powerhouse of her team, stomping out resistance with a smile on her face and some honeyed trickery on her silver tongue.
