Asagi Sarikaya

Asagi Sarikaya is a student from Anvil Academy and a member of Team JSPR. Her team consists of Jasper Sarlatova, Phoebe Lake and Khloris Rhodes.
== Appearance ==
Asagi is of average height, with extremely long blond hair which she keeps tied into braids - one down her back, the other over her right shoulder. She has thin eyebrows and deep blue eyes, as well as prominent front teeth.
Asagi wears a white hemmed dress with juliet sleeves and a square neckline. Over this she wears a yellow vest-like garment with blue trim, which extends down further than her dress and is secured with a brown utility belt with an offset zipper. She has brown fingerless gloves secured with yellow straps, and wears short white boots with blue laces.
Finally, Asagi keeps a pair of blue-lensed goggles around her neck.
== Character ==
Asagi is the daughter of two renowned hunters. She lost her mother at a young age, and was thereafter raised by her Vytal-Festival-Tournament-winning father, Sardion.
Following her mother’s passing she grew up relatively secluded in the family’s penthouse apartment, and little could dissuade her from taking up arms like her parents had - especially when she discovered a special interest in weaponsmithing. 
Asagi is pleasant and kind -- until someone gets her talking about weaponry, at which point she can’t help but babble about how excited she is to test a new adjustment on her weapon. In her mind combat may be education, but making things blow up is also the most fun she’s ever had. 
Just don’t question her design choices - you don’t want to be on the bad side of a southern belle with a grenade launcher and a doting “pa” with a loaded handgun.
== Abilities and Powers ==
Asagi’s weapon takes the form of a grenade launcher-gatling gun, allowing her to deliver both devastating explosions and lightning fast rounds to do serious damage to her enemies. Should a foe get past her shots, she won’t hesitate to employ Charming Liberator as an enforcer-style battering ram.
=== Semblance ===
Asagi’s semblance, Thorns, causes attackers to take small amounts of damage themselves when they deal direct melee damage to her. While enemies may think getting past her ranged weaponry is a smart idea, Thorns proves otherwise.
== Trivia ==
=== Allusion ===
* Asagi is based on the fairytale of Rapunzel. 
** She has long, blonde hair.
** Like Rapunzel she lived in a tower - albeit her father’s penthouse apartment under his protection rather than a witch’s oppressive rule. 
** Her semblance, Thorns, comes from Prince Charming being blinded by thorns in the original Grimm fairytale. 
** Her weapon takes its name from Prince Charming - who liberated her from the tower in many versions of the story.
=== Colour Naming Rule ===
* “Asagi” comes from a Japanese name of which one of the kanji means ‘yellow’. 
* “Sarikaya” is from a Turkish surname meaning ‘yellow rock’.
