==History==
Nora was born to a pair of un-awakened parents in Kaldrum, a small island in the Fall Isle. Her parents own a large, successful cattle-farm (buy world famous MacKenzie steaks at a fancy restaurant near you), originally founded by Nora's paternal grandparents, a pair of famous Legionnaires. When Nora was four her younger brother Conan was born, and the two were raised on the stories of her Grandfather's Legionnaire days, inspiring the two children to become Legionnaires themselves when they're older. 
Thankfully for the aspiring children, both would Awaken soon enough. Nora's Psychic powers manifested powerfully and explosively, and were very difficult for her young mind to properly control. The family soon learned to keep a carpenter close to hand as she was growing up. Nora's grandfather trained the two children himself, helping Nora hone her skills and teaching her most of what she knows about fighting. The two children made for good sparring partners despite the 4 year age difference, as Conan was quite talented and had an easier time controlling his abilities than young Nora. The two also often trained with their grandfathers' bonded thunder beast (Raiju), named Madra. When they were young their grandfather promised that when the children joined the Academy to become Legionnaires, he would entrust his legendary sword Sky Strider to Nora, and the beast Madra to Conan. 
When Nora was 13, she felt she was ready to join the Academy. Her grandfather decided to test her in a sparring match, resulting in Nora releasing her first Psycho Boost, nearly shattering her own arm and breaking her grandfather's nose. He decided that although Nora had more than enough raw power and talent to join the Academy, her lack of control could easily get herself or another student seriously injured, and made her continue training with him. Nora, never to be discouraged, only took this as a sign to take her training even more seriously, and would soon enough be accepted into the Academy in the following years, joining the 15th class at age 15. Her grandfather, proud of her dedication, gifted her his sword Sky Strider as he had promised many years previously. 
==Abilities==
As a Psychic, Nora is able to manipulate her own Psionic Energy, also known as PSI. 
*Physical Amp - Nora is able to use her manipulation of PSI to amplify her physical levels to the Enhanced tier.
*Telepathy - Nora is capable of basic telepathy, though her range is fairly small and she can only communicate to the willing.
===Psycho Boost ===
This technique allows Nora to use telekinetic shockwaves to propel herself with incredible speed and power, creating an audible booming sound when used. Through the use of this technique Nora is able to display strength and speed far beyond her normal level in very brief bursts, though if she isn't careful she can very easily injure herself with her own shockwaves. Additionally, Nora can utilize this technique to rapidly change directions even when in mid-air.
* Psycho Bomb - An incredibly powerful Psycho Boost, used for an offensive attack instead of a physical amplifier. Nora uses an exceptional amount of energy to create a large psychic explosion.
==Equipment==
===Sky Strider ===
Sky Strider is a  bastard sword that has been passed down to Nora from her grandfather, who was honored with the sword as a reward after saving the life of his commander in battle. Sky Strider is special in that the very psyche of the original creator of the sword has been bonded to it, empowering the sword with the strength of their Psionic energy, making it practically unbreakable, as well as making it a perfect conduit for PSI. The creator of the sword is known as Magnus the Mighty, a legendary figure in the history of Instinct. 
Psychic Bond - Nora and Sky Strider have developed a strong Psychic bond, and Nora is able to manipulate the Psionic Energy dwelling within Sky Strider as if it was her own. This allows Nora to manipulate Sky Strider telekinetically with ease, letting her wield the sword without even needing to touch it. Sky Strider will occasionally even move to defend Nora without her even knowing she is in danger.
PSI Amp - Sky Strider is able to greatly amplify the power of Nora's PSI through their bond and sword's own energy. This means that Nora is able to exert far more psionic power through Sky Strider than she would be able to otherwise, allowing Nora to demonstrate incredibly devastating attacks.
*Sky Splitter - A powerful psionically enhanced overhand slash, boasting enormous cutting capability. 
*Diamond Duster - Nora surrounds Sky Strider in a thick psionic aura, and smashes the sword into her enemy to inflict tremendous blunt concussive damage.
*Cloud Cutter - Nora swings Sky Strider and releases a powerful, amplified wave of telekinetic force in the form of a large crescent-shaped blade of air.
*Bunker Buster - After embedding Sky Strider into her target, Nora charges it with an incredible amount of psionic energy, before releasing it as a powerful psionic shockwave from within the target itself.
*Head Hunter - Nora charges Sky Strider with an overwhelming amount of psionic energy, before hurling it at her target from long distance. Sky Strider then pursues the target like a heat-seeking missile, releasing the energy as a massive explosive shockwave upon reaching them.
