Udina

**Udina** is an Atlantean merperson, held captive as one of the 32 competitors chosen for the High Midnight Tournament.

## Appearance:

Physiologically, Udina heavily resembles a human female, but with a few exceptions. In place of normal ears, she has large fins on each side of her head, with fish-like scales surrounding their placement. She has webbed hands, gills underneath her neckpiece, and a single fin on each backside of the forearms and lower legs. Each of these fish-esque additions share a blue-green color, with the rest of her skin sharing a color consistent with that of a Caucasian human. Her hair is a light green sidecut, drooping to the right side of her face.

In regards to her wardrobe, she wears dark-blue sandals, a loincloth, wrapped lower garments, knee-coverings, a vambrace on her left arm, a fabric wrapping around her left wrist, a bra that appears to be composed of scallop shells, a large seashell-esque piece of armor over her left shoulder, a piece of fabric draping down from her right shoulder, a neck covering, and some netting around the waist, forehead, and her vambrace. Her wardrobe's color palette is a mix of blue-green and blue.

## Personality:

Udina is rebellious and stubborn. She was born into a civilization where everyone's fate is decided upon birth. Since her more human-like appearance cursed her to take a mediocre path as a garbageman. She is extremely sarcastic and oftentimes a brute. She can be kind to those she can trust, but is often cynical of other humans, knowing the damage they do to the waters as well as a level of self-hatred for herself being a similar appearance. Due to her being that of an ancient species, she is very intelligent and analytical, but is still stubborn and will often drop something if it takes longer than expected.

## Abilities and Skills:

### Hydrokinesis:

She can manipulate water by turning it into sharp weapons. She also has the ability to turn her entire being into water, but rarely does so due to the amount of required energy only allowing her to do this very briefly, so she relies on her agility most of the time. If she needs more water that isn't in her vial, she can take some from her own body, but this will lead to part of her body looking more 'fishy' as a result.

### Trident:

Her hydrokinesis allows her to form a trident composed of hardened water. This compliments her fighting style, which is similar to Canne de combat and other stick-fighting methods.

### Vambrace:

Her vambrace on her left arm is useful for blocking an attack. Alternatively, it can be utilized as a weapon to hit against an opponent if needed.

### Bloodbending:

While capable of bloodbending, she can only do so for a short amount of time, and can only be achieved in a certain perimeter. Difficult to utilize against larger opponents.

### Swimming:

Udina is an exceptionally fast swimmer, capable of effortlessly swimming at 50mph and her maximum speed being at 100mph.

### Aquatic Breathing:

Her gills allow her to breathe underwater with ease, which pairs well with her swimming capabilities.

### Sonar Call:

While her sonar calls are mainly used for communication between her kind, the average person will only hear a piercing screech, which can render opponents dizzy or even incapacitated at times.

### Super Strength:

As a result of her constant work in the garbage heaps, she excels at superhuman strength.

## Weaknesses:

* Her sense of smell is weakened due to her experience with garbage/sterile areas
* Larger beings
* Slippery surfaces
* Heat or lava

## Trivia:

Udina was a serial pooper in the communal hot springs at Castle Helbelt and was never caught.
