Astra Fengia

Name: Astra Fengia
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Race: Jackal Faunus
Home Kingdom: Vacuo

Appearance: Astra is a moderately tall, dark skinned young woman with silvery-white hair and piercing red eyes. A pair of pointed canine ears atop her head add to her height; also giving away her nature as a Faunus. She prefers to keep her hair cut short and neat, mostly for the benefit of her dress preference including a loose-fitting, hooded black long-coat. Her hood includes sewn-on coverings for her ears for the purpose of comfort. Underneath her form-concealing coat, she actually dresses rather basically, with a small black tube-top covering her chest, and a pair of dark blue shorts. Her only other main piece of dress are a pair of white thigh-boots.

Personality: At first blush, Astra can come across as extremely pessimistic. She seemingly has an obsession with death, and a compulsion to openly state what she thinks is the worst-case scenario for any given situation. Despite this idiosyncrasy, she is actually an incredibly optimistic and hopeful young woman. Whenever she states a worst-case scenario, she immediately follows up by wracking her brain for as many ways to avert it. It's possible that she developed this as a coping mechanism to deal with bullying and prejudice she endured due to being a Faunus, but she seems to prefer not to dwell on this, shrugging off most negativity thrown at her because of her race.

Semblance: Light as a Feather - Allows the creation of a localized "Field" in which the user can control the weight of things inside of. At its most basic, this is Astra and anything she's touching. Though it is possible to expand the "Field" beyond her own body, doing so increases the strain her semblance places on her. The same can be said of the number of things she affects. When at her best, well-rested and healthy, she can manipulate five things she's touching, or two within a field roughly two meters cubed around herself, before feeling significant strain.

Weapon: Thanatos - A large, black, rectangular greatsword, with the blade widening slightly towards the hilt, decorated with the image of pearly white angelic wings on both of its flats. When transformed, the blade splits in half down the middle, exposing the mechanical parts contained inside, with each half of the blade further folding back in on itself, flipping up and sliding back to cover both the inner machinery, and part of the wielder's forearm. The thicker portion of the blade, used to store ammo, folds in on itself rather than separating, covering the repositioned grip before itself being covered by the folding back blade segments. The inner mechanics previously kept inside the blade meanwhile forms a large barrel between the separate blade-halves, completing the Railgun Mode. As an electrical component is a necessary part of the Railgun Mode's operation, it can release an electrical discharge even when in Sword Mode.

Fighting Style: In combat, Astra makes full use of her Semblance to let her move quickly and freely where she might otherwise be impeded by her large, heavy weapon. Part of her style involves an amount of subterfuge, appearing as though she can use her giant sword one-handed with her Semblance. However, attacking like this is a bluff, as without weight behind them, any strikes would lack much, if any, force. To properly attack, she has to grip her sword with both hands and disable her Semblance's influence over it. Though she can't actually fight one-handed, Astra can still use her Semblance to seamlessly execute attacks which would otherwise require lengthy recovery times in rapid succession. The large surface of her sword's flats also make it ideal for use as a shield and striking weapon in situations where slashing may be impractical.
