Ilia Amitola

==Summary==
Ilia Amitola is a supporting character appearing primarily in Volumes 4-5 of RWBY. She is a young chameleon Faunus with tan skin, light gray eyes, and brown hair tied up in a ponytail which curls up at the end— similarly to a chameleon's tail. Ilia grew up in Mantle, though her parents, who worked in the mines, wanted something better for their daughter. Thus, they enrolled her in an Atlas program and told her to disguise her Faunus heritage so she would fit in with the higher society. Managing to actually make some friends and blend in quite well, everything was going well until reports came in that the mines had suffered a cave-in which resulted in the deaths of her parents. Her friends simply laughed at the news, causing Ilia to uncontrollably change color and reveal her secret. Suddenly her so-called friends were afraid of her, and she assaulted them in retaliation.
Following this incident, Ilia was compelled to join the Faunus-run organization known as the White Fang. It was here that she met, befriended, and eventually developed unrequited romantic feelings for Blake Belladonna. These feelings made it all the worse for her when Blake unexpectedly left the White Fang.

She can use her camouflage to blend in with her surroundings and catch opponents off guard, but this ability also gives her an immense edge in stealth. Her skill allowed her to go toe-to-toe with both Blake Belladonna and Sun Wukong. In addition, for years she was able to prevent her friends and everyone else in her prep school from discovering her identity as a Faunus)
Weaknesses: Very emotional at times. Continual damage to her Aura will cause it to decay to the point where she can be left open to more significant damage. Aura's durability is cumulative; it will deplete with each attack she takes and can be brought down by characters of similar strength. Semblances drain Aura by a small amount and without it they cannot be used until it is recharged. Constant exposure to extreme temperature can drain the user's Aura.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Lightning Lash: Ilia Amitola's weapon of choice, a weapon that functions as both a blade and whip able to load Dust inside two chambers positioned near the handle. It is shown to be loaded with Lightning Dust, and is able to extend by pulling on the trigger, allowing for long-range combat with an opponent. Ilia is also able to fire blasts of lightning from the tip of the blade.
*Camouflage: Ilia's Faunus trait allows her to change the color of her skin, eyes and hair. This gives her the ability to hide from others by blending in with the environment, which she uses with great skill. Like a real chameleon, her skin seems to change with her emotions. For example, in "Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back", when she becomes frustrated, her skin turns red, and her hair, eyes and skin spots turn yellow. Following this, she takes on a more sorrowful expression, with her skin turning green and her hair, eyes and skin spots turning blue. In certain cases, her eyes or skin spots may change without her skin changing.
