## History

She rose through the ranks and became a respected hero. She wished she would have done an internship when she was in school, so she chose to taken on interns from U.A.

## Quirk and Abilities

**Weapon Mastery** (武器の熟達, *Buki-no-Jukutatsu*): Her quirk allows her to create any weapon that she has seen before. The weapons are made from her bone mass, though they look and feel like they are made from normal material (steel, iron, etc.). The more weapons she produces, the weaker her bones get. When the weapons disappear, she regains the bone mass that she loss.

* **Weapon Combination** (武器の組合せ, *Buki-no-Kumiawase*): She can create weapons that are combinations of two separate weapons. Ex. axe sword, gun spear, etc.
* **Armageddon** (ハルマゲドン, *Harumagedon*): She summons a huge amount of blades and guns. The guns fire at the target, and the blades rush forward. Because of the amount of bone mass this requires, this leaves her incredibly vulnerable to injury until the weapons disappear.
* **Blade Dance** (ブレードダンス, *Burēdo Dansu*): Using a bladed weapon (usually a sword), she attacks the enemy with incredible speed and power, leaving many cuts.
* **Paragon's Assault** (パラゴンの襲撃, *Paragon-no-Shūgeki*): She enters a state of deep concentration that allows her to heighten her senses and physical abilities, and her weapons are even stronger. This state is extremely taxing on her body, so she can only hold it for a few minutes. Afterwards, she will be incredibly weak and sometimes even pass out. This is normally only a last resort for her.

**Enhanced dexterity**: She has incredible control over her movements and muscles, allowing her to wield weapons and fight effortlessly. She has great balance and can fight from almost any angle or position. She can even wield weapons with her feet if needed.

**Enhanced speed**: She is able to move and attack at astonishing speeds.

**Enhanced durability**: She is able to take a lot of injury before collapsing, even when her bones are weakened.
