Kingdom of Origin:
Vale

Personality:
Lariah is a stout hearted and confident girl. She believes that hard work and effort will get you everywhere in life. She’s a very active person, enjoying going outdoors and partaking in activities during the day. She doesn’t like to idle and whilst not overly energetic, she can sometimes get irritated and bored when staying in one place for too long. She can be a bit rough and physical around her friends too, but she always means well by it. Though this does mean she’s not sure how far she should and shouldn’t be going. She is also something of a motivator, often there to help her friends if they cannot get something done. Whilst not unintelligent, Lariah is not particularly knowledgeable and will struggle with theory work. She can also be somewhat brash, speaking her mind and not thinking fully through what she says. Lariah is also not particularly competitive, just striving for personal goals rather than against others.

History:
Lariah was born in a coastal town in Vale, born to a marine biologist father and a huntress mother. She grew up right next to the ocean and thanks to that, she grew fond of it, taking up fishing as a hobby when she was young and even attempting to go with her father on his diving trips. She took an interest in her father’s work studying marine life but failed to grasp the subtleties and studies in detail and thus, became more of physical help than study help.

When she was older, her father took her on diving trips with him, giving her experience underwater and instilling a love of the great deep. She also aspired after her mother in combat school and showed impressive strength. This led her to start working out properly to increase her strength and she quickly became a powerful opponent in battle. When she discovered her semblance at the age of 15, she continued her combat training underwater, using it to simulate her semblance and not only grow used to the feeling, but also work on being able to fight.

Whilst working with her father on diving trips, she encountered and helped fend of marine Grimm types and continued to grow more experienced, now using her key weapon after discovering the sea mine on a salvage ship that pulled into harbour. She became extremely passionate about huntress work when she was able to combine both sides of her life into a single activity. She eventually was faced with a choice between going into her father’s business in marine biology or attending a Hunter academy. After her father convinced her the life of in depth study simply wasn’t for her, she chose to go to the academy and take her training and love of the ocean with her. 

Weapons:
Daedalus Detonator -  A large heavy iron flail, made up of a large repurposed sea mine on one end with a skull emblem and an iron chain with a cylindrical handle segment in the middle. Whilst functional as a standard ball and chain weapon, it’s true strength comes in the hidden explosive dust cores hidden in the ball. When in its active state, if the flails’ triggers are activated, the ball with shoot out clouds of explosive dust, causing extreme damage. The ball is limited to 15 detonations before the cores need to be changed.

Semblance:
Pressure Drop – In use, it creates a large field around Lariah of increased gravity, making those effected feel like they’re on the seabed, a crushing effect on their head and making their movements sluggish and heavy. Whilst this semblance also effects and slows down Lariah, she has trained in environments that match her semblance and has trained using it, so she is less effected by it and has a higher resistance.

Strengths:
Lariah is immensely strong and fierce, a single blow from her or her weapon can result in severe damage. She is also able to use it as a spinning shield and catching opponent's weapons in her chain. Her semblance is more for solo usage but it can effectively pin down large groups of enemies for Lariah to deal with personally. She is also physically strong, so even without her weapon and semblance, she can bring the pain. 

Weaknesses:
Lariah is not terribly agile and thus she isn't good at dodging attacks, usually relying on a flail spin to protect her from shots. Her Pressure Drop ability can bring her teammates down and she is not unaffected by it. Her weapon is mostly close to mid range and lacks any real long range capabilities, making her an easy target for snipers. 

Other:
Lariah still has a love of fishing and will take the chance to do some, even being able to cook it if given a fire. She is also proficient playing with a yoyo. She has a personal dislike of horror movies and insects and doesn't like overly hot places.
