Standard Equipment: Sais, Hidden Shoe Blades
Intelligence: Gifted (Carmine is noted as being an individual who fights with wit and wiles to reach her goals and is capable of feats of great power with her Sai, Semblance and mastery over the desert. Having graduated from Shade Academy, the most prestigious combat school in Vacuo, Carmine's ability to manipulate the things around her is what makes her a truly fearsome Huntress. In combat she is a master of controlling the environment, using her semblance to keep her opponents constantly off balance lest they fall into a trap and get buried alive. Her skill in direct combat is great enough to allow her to outmatch skilled fighters such as Yatsuhashi using just a pair of concealed knives in her shoes, and at her full potential she is able to match the combined effort of the entirety of Team CFVY and two other professional huntsmen at the same time. Carmine is also highly manipulative, using small arguments between friends and allies to draw Grimm to them and the surrounding area as cover for her.)
Weaknesses: 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:
*Carmine's Sais: Carmine's weapons of choice, a pair of sais with pointed prongs on each side of a wide blade. The handle of the sai can extend and connect forming a long double sided trident ending with the dagger blades on each end. Her sai are shown to be able to power themselves with Lightning Dust to add a shocking effect onto them.
*Telekinesis: Carmine's Semblance is Telekinesis, the ability to control objects with her mind. She has a great deal of control over her Semblance, allowing her to create localized weather patterns or manipulate her weapons in the air, as well as creating underground tunnels. She is also shown to use her Semblance to bury people alive in sand. When using her Semblance, a golden wisp appears to emit from Carmine's hands. Her Semblance is compared to that of Glynda Goodwitch; however, it is stated Carmine lacks the same mastery over it as Glynda, as Carmine is limited to small objects whereas Glynda is capable of lifting large chunks from buildings.
