Roxy

## Background

### Personality

Roxy is a cautious, caring, and socially awkward Jeeva who has an affinity for mechanics and astronomy. Although she prefers avoiding social interactions, she still shows herself to be a very empathetic and loyal person towards friends and even strangers.

## Fighting Style

Roxy is a defensive fighter. She becomes extremely focused on her opponent and cannot get distracted; always watching to find any exposed weaknesses or to make sure they stay exactly where she wants them to. She makes sure to keep her opponent far enough away to not be able to use their weapon against her but close enough for her to do damage with her Element. She makes her opponent miss hits and makes sure to punish them for doing so, usually throwing them around with her Water Element or directly attacking with her axe before pushing them away with it. She relies heavily on her powers and only uses her axe if her opponent ever got too close.

Roxy uses her Water Element the most to use her opponent's momentum against them, throw them around, or to hold them captive. She's the most comfortable using her Element because she's used is all her life; albeit not necessarily for fighting.

Her Shadow Manipulation is used as much during the battle; more often used beforehand to sneak up behind her opponent and get an easy direct hit with her axe. During battle, she may use it to move through different shadows to avoid direct hits if necessary or she makes the battleground darker and harder to fight in. However, her slight night vision is only a small advantage in a darkened battleground, so she doesn't make it darker unless she wasn't confident in winning the battle.

Roxy will only use her Lightning Element as an absolute last resort. Despite having mastered it by the last season, she's still painfully aware of how difficult it is to control and how fatal it can be to both her and her opponent. She would only use it on a Starcress as a defense mechanism against the Effect being used combatively or if she absolutely felt the opponent deserves permanent death.

Astral Projection isn't used during battle for obvious reasons; Roxy doesn't want to put her body at risk of being harmed by her opponent and she can't even attack them while projecting anyway.

### Under the Effect

Her fighting style changes completely from defensive to offensive, often charging directly at her opponent with her axe.

## Trivia

* Roxy's name was taken from JaysaFizzle's old original character they made as a child who was also an engineer with pink hair
* She is afro-latina
* She is canonically lesbian
* Roxy learned sign language from Castel so she can communicate when she goes nonverbal
* She loves drawing and often draws Nico and Zoe because they're both so expressive
* She normally loves to wear comfy clothes like flannels, hoodies, and turtle necks
* She built the weapon Castel created to sedate Hellions before they even met each other. He sent it to her specifically because he was told she was the best engineer in the Unit. In the last season, you can see the weapon’s blueprints on her desk in the Mechanical Unit. This is what caught the Starcress’ attention and thats why they chose to make her their inventor
