[b]Name:[/b] Beryl Harken
[b]Age:[/b] 17  
[b]Gender:[/b] Female 
[b]Race:[/b] Otter Faunus   
[b]Weapon:[/b]  At the center of Beryl’s combat abilities is an elegant sword named [i]Stream[/i], a beautiful curved blade that appears to glisten in the light much like it’s namesake. With a golden hilt inlaid with aquamarine gems, every inch of the blade evokes the image of a current of water flowing through the air. The silver blade curves towards the very end and is inlaid in an archaic Mistralese script. As if to further evoke it’s namesake, strands of gold from the hilt crawl up the sides of the blade, blending into the metal blade like rapids in a stream. 

However [i]Stream[/i] is not just a pretty weapon, with the simple press of a button the blade extends into many small pieces connected by a thin string of carbon nanofiber. In this form the blade is akin to a whip, that Beryl is capable of expanding and contracting at will. If the sword form of [i]Stream[/i] is a strong current cutting through the rapids, the whip form is a whirlpool of water devouring and capturing all that lies in its wake. 

The final trick up [i]Stream’s[/i] arsenal is the ability to infuse it with dust rounds adding an extra layer of versatility to an already formidable and beautiful weapon. 
[b]Specialty:[/b] The lack of a gun form consigns Beryl to a mid to close range assault on enemies. While for some this might be tricky, Beryl is capable of navigating the center of the battlefield with ease. Through the use of her semblance and weapon she is capable of manipulating the flow of enemies whether through ensnarement, redirection, or a myriad of other tricks. In this way Beryl keeps the battlefield more manageable for her team and ensures their continued success. 

However if crowd control isn’t required, Beryl is more than adept at inflicting large doses of damage thanks to the lacerating effects of her blade or the dust rounds stored within. Thus if need be Beryl can quickly chop individuals or crowds of enemies down as she cuts through the battlefield. In this way her high damage output can make quick work of particularly troublesome opponents.  
[b]Semblance:[/b] [i]Aqua Vitae[/i] - Beryl is capable of detecting water as well as controlling it in a telekinetic fashion. This flows well into her usage of [i]Stream[/i] as she coats it in a thin sheet of water while in segmented form allowing for a much finer level of control than would otherwise be possible. 
[b]Personality:[/b] Like water, Beryl is one who goes with the flow of life, she tends to be a little laid back and easygoing allowing each day to flow on past. However while she may be rather relaxed, one should not confuse this with a lack of conviction, push too hard in one direction or another and Beryl will push back just as hard. The strength of her conviction can perhaps be best seen in her tireless crusade against injustice. Beryl is the first to fight for the oppressed and defend those she sees being trampled. The one thing that Beryl can not stand is injustice and engaging in such deplorable acts is the surest way to acquire her wrath. 

Much of Beryl’s hatred to injustice comes from her upbringing as a rather devout follower of the Church of Mistral. She strongly believes in the church’s calls for charity, tolerance and courage. As such, Beryl often applies such teachings to her daily life and thus treats all people with the same level benevolence and kindness. In fact it is not uncommon to see Beryl praying before battles or looking towards her religion for guidance. Ultimately, Beryl’s religion is a very fundamental aspect of her core being.

Of course none of this should dissuade the notion that Beryl is deprived of fun, on the contrary Beryl greatly enjoys life and all the fun it provides. In terms of hobbies she greatly enjoys listening to music on her Sonee Strollman, which possesses a vast library spanning many genres. In addition she greatly enjoys swimming and spending time in the water, as well as travelling across many different locales. As one could probably surmise from the aforementioned, Beryl is a lover of the outdoors.
Something of an odd quirk that nobody seems to know how it became such, Beryl can be absolutely clueless as to the effect some of her actions can have on other people. A particularly low moan, extensive stretching in less than loose clothing, a full body hug. Absolutely zero clue about certain effects on others.
[b]Color:[/b] Aquamarine 
[b]Emblem:[/b] A streak of aquamarine in a sort of thin "S" shape.

Somewhat on the taller side at 5' 10" Beryl is usually seen wearing loose athletic clothing, blue jeans and a black T-shirt being the most common. Instead of the ears that most Faunus have Beryl has a rather muscular tail extending from the base of her spine that is the same glossy black as her hair.
