Character Traits
Date of Birth: September 10th Year 5 AV
Species: Human
Hometown: Town of Firewake, far to the southeast of Mistral proper
Romantic Orientation: Bi
Hair Color/Style: Brigit’s hair is a natural off-red color and is extremely thin and straight even without any effort put into making it so. She lets her hair cascade over her face and shoulders, leaving it slightly past neck length and doing little to care for it other than combing it and keeping it generally clean.
Eye Color: Gray
Aura Color: Flickering red and orange
Height: 6 feet tall or 182.88 cm
Weight: 200 pounds or 90.7185 kg
Appearance: Brigit is a tall woman, easily picked out in a crowd not just for that but for her reddish hair and the prosthetics that she wears in place of both arms in their entirety as well as both legs. The prosthetics are obviously not flesh at even a cursory glance due to their strange bulk when compared to normal limbs as well as their solid porcelain white coloration. Over time, the prosthetics have become scuffed and blackened in various parts and the seam lines for the various additional features of the limbs are much more visible than they once were, criss-crossing her legs and arms like spiderwebs allowing brief glimpses into the inner workings of the technology.
Visible to anyone looking at Brigit’s face are numerous small red lines that rise slightly beneath the skin and all feed from the lower sections of her body, up past her heart and connect to a glowing red port under the skin at the base of her skull.
Apart from that however, her face is unremarkable and quite decidedly average in terms of looks and memorability, as is the rest of her non-prosthetic body.
Brigit is extremely heavy for her size due to the prosthetics that replace all of her limbs, but still manages to move herself with the sure-footedness of a practiced climber with the muscles to match on what parts of her body still have them.
Personality: Brigit carries herself with an air of aloof confidence and grace that has been carefully cultivated to conceal the extreme pessimism and self loathing bubbling beneath the surface. She firmly believes that if anyone thought of her the way she did herself then she would end up totally isolated anyways, so her tendency to remain distant from people is used as a defence against that potential reality.
Brigit, above all else once people get to know her, is a thrillseeker. Anything potentially self-destructive was a source of excitement for her beyond what anything else in the world could provide. Being in danger is one of the few times when she is truly as confident as she likes to pretend, though for all the wrong reasons.
In combat, Brigit is self destructive in every sense of the word. Ever since unlocking her semblance she has been near suicidal in her ferocity during battles regardless of the context, fighting with little care for defence as she knows that once her aura is reduced enough her semblance will bail her out. This overreliance has gotten her wounded on more than one occasion, though apart from adding to the stew of self-doubt that she keeps buried within herself it has done nothing to hamper her aggression.

Combat & Inventory
From the Ashes
Rank of Semblance: D
Semblance Type: Transformation
One Sentence Summary of Semblance: From the Ashes is a transformation type semblance that grants the user aura recharge, stamina regeneration, and a strength boost after taking significant damage.
Description of Semblance: Upon being reduced to 33% aura or lower, Brigit is consumed in a ball of flame that explodes open a moment later revealing Brigit with two flaming red devil horns on her forehead. Her prosthetics also seem to super-charge when this activates, glowing a deep bloody red and humming while her claws grow more hellish looking. None of these effects do damage or any other meaningful combat use, they are simply cosmetic.
When this transformation occurs, Brigit regenerates 33% of her lost aura instantly, gains 3 posts of stamina, and her Strength is boosted to D for 4 posts.
Drawbacks of Semblance: The activation of the semblance requires no small amount of risk in allowing her aura to be reduced so far. In addition to this, the semblance has a 3 post cooldown after the bonus wears off.
Life's Grasp
Rank of Weapon(s): F
Description of Weapons(s): Within each of Brigit’s prosthetics lays a maze of internal circuitry that allows for a few different things to be activated on each of the limbs.
All four Prosthetics have the ability to extend long razor-sharp blades. In the arm prosthetics this manifests as the fingers on each hand sharpening into their blade form while still retaining enough dexterity to be able to grab things, though awkwardly.
In the leg prosthetics, the blades rise up along the entire length of the lower leg stopping just before the foot and of course at the seam between flesh and machine. These blades are not flexible at all and remain embedded firmly within the leg to allow forceful kicks and slashes with the right technique.
Secondly, the leg prosthetics are able to launch a pair of grappling spikes from a port held within each thigh that are able to either wrap around a target using the wires they trail behind them, or embed themselves into an object using the sharp spiked tip that can flare open upon piercing something.

Combat Abilities
Name of Combat Ability: Grappling Mobility (Speed)
Rank of Combat Ability: E
Description of Combat Ability:By firing her grapples at a surface, person or grimm, Brigit is able to propel herself towards that object at high speeds to aid in the rest of her fighting style, or even just use it as a quick method of mobility
These grapples can be fired up to 10-12 meters away or the length of a telephone pole and are able to pull her forward at 43km/hr assuming she manages to hit her target with the grapple in the first place
Name of Combat Ability: Aggressive Brawling (Martial Arts)
Rank of Combat Ability: E
Description of Combat Ability: Brigit fights quickly and aggressively with little regard for her own safety which heavily influences how she fights. After spending years getting used to her semblance and her prosthetics, Brigit is now able to be quite accurate with her strikes and grapples as needed.
Name of Combat Ability: Seared Nerves (Durability)
Rank of Combat Ability: E
Description of Combat Ability: Brigit is extremely used to taking punishment, and has been even before unlocking her semblance. Since then, however, she has truly gone overboard in training herself and her aura to be able to absorb as many hits as possible before her semblance activates and pushes her to end the fight.
Name of Combat Ability: Grapple-spike Accuracy (Ranged 'weapon' accuracy)
Rank of Combat Ability: F
Description of Combat Ability: Experience climbing mountains and her practice fights against machines and weak grimm has honed Brigit's ability to accurately hit moving or small targets with her grappling spikes up to 5-7 meters away, or the size of a small room.

Biography
History
Far to the southeast of Mistral along the coast is a chain of active volcanoes that is home to the Akane family home and business - a red dust mining operation along the inside rim and outer slopes of active volcanoes. Brigit was born into the family business after it had been in operation for five years under the control of her mother Eon, and was raised from the time she could walk to understand the dangers of their environment and the skills required to survive the dust gathering process in a place that can, quite easily, burn you alive.
Even with the constant focus on training and skills, Brigit was lucky enough to have a wonderful childhood supported by her parents, sister, and the not exactly small amount of wealth that the family had acquired from their work.
Brigit is a thrillseeker, and was from a young age. By the time she was 15 and able to utilize the grappling and mining equipment that her family relied on, she began to work on the slopes of the mountains as one of the people that risked their lives to harvest dust. As the years went by, every day was a new adventure to see if she could get higher on the slopes, deeper into the volcano, closer to the heat and the danger. There was a certain excitement that came with risking her life, and the context in which she did it was secondary.
At age 17, Brigit went too far. Nearing the apex of one of the volcanoes, a place her parents only usually allow people with suits designed specifically for heat to go, she lost her footing and stumbled just a bit too close to a pool of magma along the slope of the mountain, lighting her arms and legs swiftly on fire and causing her to stumble and fall from the mountain in a tangle of flame and limbs. It was here, nearing death from aura depletion as the fire ate away at her, that her semblance first activated and gave her the second wind necessary to find a pair of climbers working for her parents that could take her back to safety.
Her legs and arms couldn’t be saved, her parents told her, this was the only way. It was months later when Brigit awoke in an unfamiliar place with an unfamiliar chill settled deep into her bones and an unfamiliar feeling in place of where her arms and legs once were. All four limbs had to be removed, and her parents had spared no expense in finding suitable replacements for them in the form of Atlesian prosthetics that doubled as weapons and climbing gear. Later, the hospital staff would tell her that the scream she gave when she woke up was loud enough to bring an armed group of Atlesians into the hospital to ensure things were okay.
It took nearly a full year before Brigit could climb again or move with any level of accuracy or grace, but she got there. Her insatiable desire for danger and risk seemed to have been made worse by the discovery of what her semblance could allow her to do, and prosthetic limbs that were much harder to lose than the organic ones she had possessed before. Becoming a huntsman, and the risks and excitement associated with that lifestyle was enticing enough for her to leave the family business to her older sister and go her own way, towards the next challenge. Haven.
