Elegance. If one was pressed to produce but a single world to describe Vanna, elegance might be their best bet. Vanna’s every move exudes confidence and nobility, and indeed her tall stature and brilliant silver hair definitely makes for a striking figure. But the honor of her most captivating feature likely extends to Vanna’s eyes. An oft muted shade of red, her eyes are usually mistaken for a more mundane light amber, but in her rare moments of passion and emotion they’ll take on a blazing sanguine luster. 

As for clothing, there is a casual sense of wealth in Vanna’s wardrobe. While not one to flaunt fancy gems and meticulous embroidery, there’s no doubt that even Vanna’s casual clothing is high class. Dark tops with floral patterns on the sleeves, royal purple skirts fading to white; there will always be nobility in what Vanna chooses to wear. After all, Vanna understands better than anyone that she must never bring shame upon her family name, and the first step is making sure to dress the part. 

[color=#DC143C][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Defeat is a foreign concept to the young lady of the Diana family. Sooner may swine take to the sky before Vanna bows down to a challenge. Victory is sacrosanct to the lady, and she will always work hard to achieve her goals. That is after all the duty bestowed upon her through her family line. This self assuredness has granted Vanna a confidence many have mistaken for arrogance. But the simple fact of the matter is that Vanna can’t afford to lose, because losing would mean betraying the expectations that have been placed upon her. Thus at all times Vanna has complete confidence in her abilities, and it matters not if others fail to keep up. She’s perfectly content to achieve victory all on her lonesome.   

This degree of self assuredness has often led others to view her as aloof, and indeed Vanna rarely makes time for others outside of what is strictly necessary. Many have mistaken Vanna’s lack of caring as a sort of smugness or at worse disdain for others, but truthfully Vanna just doesn’t see the point in wasting time or energy on wasteful and weak people. It’s not that she hates others, she just doesn’t care, her duty to protect them all remains unchanged either way. 

At all times Vanna makes sure to remain polite and respectful to others, while remaining deeply focused and driven towards achieving her goals. Away from the prying eyes of others Vanna may spend hours working towards improving herself. A perfectionist to the end, Vanna holds herself to a higher standard than anyone else. It is only when backed into a corner that deeper emotions can come flowing forward. In those moments, there is brimming intensity belaying a sense of utter joy as Vanna finds a way to yet again emerge victorious. 

For after all: Vanna can never lose. 

[color=#DC143C][b]Background:[/b][/color] Since the night of the First Void the Diana family has always stood steadfast. Ardent defenders against all incursions from the Void; little has changed for the family over the years. Now and forever they are humanity’s front line. Few know this better than Diana Khay Vanna, V to her friends, Lady Vanna to most others. As the second daughter of the Diana family this legacy has been etched into Vanna’s very being. From a young age Vanna has been cognizant of the cross she must bear. 

Thus while she may have been born into a life of luxury in truth it was never a leisurely lifestyle for the young girl. Etiquette, politics, history, and of course practical lessons in combat have all been drilled into Vanna over the years. Simply put Vanna knows she has a role to fill, a duty to her family, and she’s always strived to put 200% into reaching that pinnacle. She was taught to be the epitome of a Duodecim Lady and that is the summit she always seeks to maintain. 

Outside of constant lessons, Vanna hasn’t experienced much of what life has to offer. Sure she’ll take breaks in the forest behind her country manor, or visit the greater city of Potentia with her younger siblings, but these short reprieves can hardly be considered anything else. That said, as surprising as it may be, many of Vanna’s dearest memories stem from traveling with her father or elder brothers to the outskirts of Potentia to inspect the city’s defenses against the Void. 

Vanna has always appreciated her responsibility as a daughter of the Diana family, and getting to take a small part in her family’s legacy never fails to bring an unmatched sense of fulfilment. Her recent enrollment into Nova Lux, where she will train to truly shoulder the duties of her family, has brought a new feeling of excitement to the young girl. 

Of course she’ll never allow such excitement to exude outwards. After all, a lady must keep her wits about her at all times.

[color=#DC143C][b]Armgaus Name:[/b][/color] The Victorious Crimson Garnet 

[color=#DC143C][b]Gladius:[/b] [u][i]Asi[/i][/u][/color] - By all accounts a rather simple gladius, Vanna’s weapon of choice is a basic "hand-and-a-half" sword in servitude to the people. A simple cross guard hilt, a basic leather wrapping on the grip, Asi is a fairly straightforward weapon. The intoxicating scarlet garnet inlaid in the pommel and the dazzling silver blade that seems to reflect moonlight at all times are the main features that would clue one into the true magical nature of the gladius.

Perhaps a sign of her constant acceptance of her duty, but little about Vanna’s appearance changes when transformed. Her eyes glow a brighter shade of red, her silver hair appears to gain even more luminance, but ultimately that’s about all there is in terms of an outward change in appearance. And outside of a shimmering, long, red and purple shoulder cape, her magical armor is surprisingly simple. Most definitely still noble and high class, but far from the ostentatious armor one might otherwise suspect. Fitting for a weapon of the Duodecim. 

[color=#DC143C][b]Elementum:[/b][/color] Aether

[color=#DC143C][b]Elementum Abilities:[/b][/color] Being an ever present element, Vanna’s control over Aether upon first transforming is limited. But as time progresses Vanna begins to absorb more and more of her elementum therein illustrating the true powers behind the quintessence. At first this manifests as simple boosts to Vanna’s strength and speed gradually getting to a point of achieving basic levitation. As she absorbs more Aether Vanna gains the ability to project its power outwards, be it in the form of weak blasts of energy or small defensive shields. Aether can even be used to heal wounds once a suitable amount has been absorbed by Vanna. Ultimately Vanna’s strength manifests best in prolonged combat, and at the beginning she must rely on her own skills, not her elementum, to find victory.
