Full Name: Liora Elyse Somberdyn
Title: The Trichromatic Sentinel. 
Place of Birth: The Shadowed Halls, Somberdyn Manor, Somberwood Estate
Date of Birth: April 15, 19XX (exact year is undisclosed)
Personality: Liora exhibits a multi-faceted personality, depending on the shifting hues of her hair. 
Red Persona: When Liora's hair takes on a warm crimson hue, she becomes more compassionate and kind-hearted, driven by an ardent hope to liberate her family from the oppressive shackles of the Somberdyn tradition. However, even in this state, caution is advised as she may exhibit sporadic bouts of aggression. Her red-haired persona is her most frequent state and coincides with her role as a historian, allowing her to delve into the intricate tapestry of her family's history.
Black Persona: In her black-haired state, Liora adopts a laid-back, calm, and neutral demeanor, distinct from the intensity of her red and white personas. This phase brings forth a heightened level of composure and a keen, calculated resolve. Over time, the once stringent nature of her black persona has mellowed, affording her a greater adaptability in her interactions. In this state, Liora dedicates herself to delving deeper into the annals of her family's history, assuming the role of a scholar and educator. However, it's worth noting that even within this persona, there exists the potential for sudden bursts of aggression.
White Persona: When enveloped in the pallor of her white-haired persona, Liora undergoes a striking transformation. She becomes fiercely aggressive, her emotions suppressed to the point of near-emotionlessness. A profound loyalty to the family tradition dominates her thoughts, leading to a profound disinterest in her siblings and humanity at large. Her gaze turns icy, detached from the warmth that characterizes her red-haired state. In this phase, her white persona strives to assert dominance, driven by the goal of becoming Liora's primary persona, supplanting the red-haired persona over time.
Affiliation: Liora's primary allegiance is to her family, the Somberdyns. However, her commitment to altering the family's malevolent traditions has distanced her from many of her siblings, particularly Judah, Hikari, and Damian. She shares a close bond with Seraphina, Judah's twin, and their cousin Mayakashi, who adopted the last name "Yurisaki" and chose a neutral path.
Abilities: Liora's exceptional abilities are intrinsically tied to the ancient and cursed lineage of her family, the Somberdyns. These gifts serve as a testament to the unique nature of her existence.
Hair Transformation: Her most prominent ability lies in her power to manipulate her hair's hue, a manifestation of her connection to the family's dark tradition. This chromatic transformation serves as a visual representation of the multifaceted aspects of her personality and her struggle against the legacy that binds her.
Blade Summoning: A formidable force to be reckoned with, Liora possesses the uncanny ability to summon blades from her knuckles which she had since she was first born. This skill amplifies her combat prowess, making her a formidable adversary in physical confrontations.
Eidetic Memory: Liora's mind is an encyclopedic repository of knowledge, particularly concerning her family's tumultuous past. Her ability to retain and recall information is staggering, allowing her to delve deep into the annals of history with unparalleled precision.
Pain Manipulation: An additional facet of her abilities lies in the manipulation of pain, affording her a unique means of defense and offense. This power grants her a formidable edge in combat scenarios, allowing her to exert control over the physical sensations of others.
Magic Resistance: Liora possesses a natural aptitude for countering attacks from magic users. Her innate resilience against magical assaults adds another layer of defense to her already formidable arsenal.

== Story ==
In the annals of the Somberdyn lineage, stretching back through the shadows of centuries, the chilling echo of bloodshed and murder reverberates like a grim refrain. Emerging from the mists of the 12th century, the family's dark legacy has woven a tapestry of malevolence that few dare to confront.
Liora Somberdyn, a singular figure in this foreboding narrative, bears the weight of her ancestry, yet stands apart in ways that defy the cruel hand of fate. Her most arresting feature, a mane that shifts through three distinct hues, is both a testament to her individuality and a manifestation of the family's cursed lineage.
In moments of resplendent red, Liora reveals a facet of herself that defies the macabre history that courses through her veins. Beneath this fiery canopy lies a wellspring of kindness, a rarity within a lineage steeped in brutality. Here, she yearns to break free from the shackles of tradition, fervently hoping to sever the dark tendrils that bind her family to a legacy of violence.
When Liora's hair color turn white, transformation sweeps over Liora. Her locks turn a bone-chilling white, and with this shift, a palpable change takes hold. The once-kind soul now embraces cold detachment, pledging an unyielding loyalty to the sinister customs that have defined the Somberdyns for generations. In this state, she embodies the very essence of the dark powers that course through her veins, her aggression a testament to the malevolent forces that have shaped her lineage.
Then, there is the obsidian cloak that falls upon her shoulders, as her hair takes on a hue as dark as the abyss. In this moment, Liora exudes an eerie control and composure, an island of neutrality amidst a sea of turmoil. It is a quiet before the storm, a calculated stillness that belies the tumultuous currents that churn beneath the surface. 
Liora's shifting hair colors were not just a cosmetic change; they were a mirror reflecting the intricate web of emotions and intentions that resided within her. Each hue was a window into a different aspect of her complex personality.
When the crimson tint adorned her locks, her emotions simmered at the surface, prone to volatility and anger. It was during these times that the pull of her family's dark tradition weighed heavily on her. Her fervent desire to lead the Somberdyns toward a brighter future warred with the relentless pull of their gruesome legacy. In her red-haired state, she grappled with the desire to resist the sinister currents that coursed through her veins.
Conversely, the chilling pallor of her white hair was a harbinger of cold detachment. Her once-warm affections for her siblings and the rest of humanity gave way to disinterest and a detached aloofness. In the white phase, Liora viewed her world with an icy gaze, seemingly untouched by the emotions that had driven her red-haired persona.
However, it was in her obsidian black phase that a different facet of Liora emerged. Here, she exuded an air of poise, calm, and calculated resolve. In this state, she shared a common goal with her red-haired counterpart - the aspiration to end the murderous tradition that had plagued her family for centuries. Despite the differences in their emotional landscapes, her black-haired persona and her red-haired counterpart held a shared mission to break free from the shackles of bloodshed and genocide.
Aggression.
Liora's black and red personas, while less overtly aggressive than her white-haired counterpart, are not entirely exempt from violence. This propensity for violence stems from the cursed blood that courses through her veins, an inescapable inheritance of the Somberdyn tradition. This grim reality drives Liora's determined resistance against succumbing to the murderous instincts that lurk within her, as well as her steadfast resolve to avoid slipping into the aggression that characterizes her white-haired state.
A Somberdyn Historian. 
As Liora matured, she took on the mantle of a historian, peeling back the layers of her family's twisted history, exposing the grim tapestry of the Somberdyn legacy. Her voice rang out, recounting the origins and motives behind the haunting tradition that had stained their lineage for generations. This pursuit of knowledge, coupled with her vocal opposition to the malevolent practices, marked her as a singular figure within the family.
However, as Liora's convictions grew stronger, a subtle shift occurred among her once-close siblings. Judah, Hikari, and Damian, once bound by blood, began to drift away from her. Her unyielding resistance to the family's dark tradition was perceived as a betrayal, a severing of the ties that had once bound them together. They watched with wary eyes as Liora teetered on the precipice, sensing the creeping influence of the very darkness she fought against. In a calculated move, they chose not to execute her, instead opting to bide their time, hoping that she would eventually succumb to the tradition, thus restoring the fragile semblance of siblinghood that had been fractured by her unwavering stance.
The bonds of hope and change. 
Liora found solace and a glimmer of hope in the presence of Seraphina, Judah's pacifist twin. The two formed a close bond, sharing their fervent desire to sway their siblings away from the sickening grip of the Somberdyn tradition. They leaned on each other for guidance, seeking ways to persuade their kin to abandon the dark path they tread.
In this pursuit, they also looked to their cousin Mayakashi, who had distanced herself from the Somberdyn name, adopting "Yurisaki" instead. Liora believed that Maya might be an ally in their mission, but to their surprise, Maya chose a different path. Opting for neutrality, she stood apart from the divisive struggle within the family.
As time passed, Liora's once rigid demeanor in her red-haired state began to soften. The weight of her convictions and the passage of years gradually tempered her, allowing for a more nuanced approach to her interactions and perspectives.
