Trida Kyrjan

Trida Kyrjan is a Flydevin woman and a Mineral Winds adept. She is best friends with Beruli Tei and Duster Zhantom. She is the type of person that prefers to go with the flow, but she occasionally has to take care of her brother Erifa Kyrjan as well.
==Appearance==
Trida is a tall 19-years old woman with short greyish-green hair, albeit long enough to cover one of her eyes still. She has light brown skin with a few scars - seeing as she has a tendency to participate in friendly spars, but unlike her friends, she has a less risky fighting style that results in her getting injured a lot less. She is somewhat toned, though she isn't quite muscular either.
Trida generally wears attire conventional for Mineral Winds adepts - a sleeveless grey shirt and, in her case, a skirt with a rock-themed pattern on it. She also wears gym shorts under it. She tends to wear grey gloves and boots.
==Personality==
Trida is very laid-back in comparison to her friends. She has a tendency to just sit back and occasionally crack a joke to lighten the mood. However, sometimes she’ll make these jokes at the expense of others. She can also seem rather lazy at times - though those who get to know her know she is actually anything but that, working hard to ensure her brother Erifa can live well. She’s rather wise, however, not taking unnecessary risks, and she’s generally amicable towards most people.
==Powers and Abilities==
Trida is surprisingly athletic and knows how to dodge attacks. Like her girlfriends, Trida knows how to use Wind Arts, particularly its Mineral Winds division, which allows her to manipulate winds and rocks. Trida’s fighting style is a more long-ranged one that could be described as smart or cheap - she simply stays out of the foe’s reach and launches rock projectiles at them, redirecting them towards the foe with winds if they miss. This tactic is less effective against crowds, so she generally avoids fighting them.
*Homing Stone: Trida can create rocks around the size of her head, which she can then launch at her foes using her winds, which she constantly redirects to ensure the rock hits the foe. That being said, the rock can be destroyed by strong attacks… though nothing stops Trida from just using the shards to attack instead.
*Terra Shield: Trida can create rocks in order to block attacks coming towards her, which she generally uses to block projectiles from those with quick long-range attacks.
*Flight: Trida can use her winds to fly, generally choosing to fly right out of the reach of her foes.
*Wind Agility: Trida can also use her winds to increase her mobility in general. She can run faster with them, perform high jumps, slow down her falls, or even just throw herself away from foes. This allows her to be a highly evasive foe.
*Dirty Tricks: Trida’s mineral winds enable her to pull off plenty of cheap moves. She can create and throw dust at people’s eyes to blind them, for example, or she can create rocks around their joints to weight them down and making it harder for them to move. Unlike her friends, Trida is far more open to using these, especially weighting down and blocking the foe’s movements.
==Relationships==
===Erifa Kyrjan===
Erifa is Trida's younger brother, and she has been shown to care a lot about him. Seeing as their parents are dead, Trida has to take care of Erifa, and as a result, the latter has a lot of respect for her. While Erifa has a tendency to taunt and bully others, he is quick to stop when Trida tells him to.
===Duster Zhantom===
Duster is one of Teliru's best friends, and Trida is shown to care for her a lot. She has often defended her from the mockery of others, seeing as Duster is quick to anger, and was concerned for her safety after she didn't show up for a while following her sneaking out to watch a battle.
===Beruli Tei===
Although the three have not been seen interacting on their own very much, Beruli is Trida's other best friend. The trio of best friends can often be seen hanging out together.
==Development==
Trida was made alongside Beruli as a roleplay character designed to flesh out Duster's cast. The three were already a trio of friends that sparred and manipulated Mineral Winds, with the goal being that each would focus on a different "range" - in Trida's case, she was long-range, which is why she is significantly taller than her peers and why she mainly fights with ranged attacks.
Although Trida's base design saw very little changes since her creation, her personality did. Originally, Trida was supposed to seem cold and distant at a glance, although one would quickly find she was actually a jokester that goes with the flow once they interacted with her. This element of the character, however, was removed, because it felt more impactful to have Trida seem immediately approachable in spite of her tall height and musculature. In addition, ironically, Trida was originally described as "lazy" - this was before Erifa was created to flesh her out, however. During Episode 4, rather than finding out Trida was actually an hard worker, Duster would find that Trida's seemingly deadpan and careless attitude came from a pessimistic view of Flydevin society.
Trida's exact relation to her friends also changed through development - at one point, she was actually going to be in a polyamorous relationship with them. Later on, she was changed to only being Duster's girlfriend, before being reverted back to merely being friends with the trio.
==Trivia==
*Trida’s name is… the word dirt backwards with an A added at the end to make it sound more like a name. The “Kyr” part of her family name comes from the word Valkyrie, with the “jan” similarly added to make it more of a family name and to prevent Trida from having a 3-word family name like Beruli Tei.
*Trida was originally created as a character to be used in roleplays before being introduced to the Fantendoverse.
**In her case, Trida was created to flesh out the cast of characters surrounding Duster, being made alongside Beruli.
