**Candlelight** is a female super under the Delta Beta branch. She uses a wax magic core and is an A-ranked damager. She is also a member of the Elite Legion squadron.

## Biography

### Appearance

Candlelight is a lean unicorn mare of average height with a black coat and long black mane. Her power markings manifest in the form of white gradients in her mane and tail. Her uniform consists of a high-necked pale grey top with long, flowing sleeves that darken slightly towards the hem. There is a dark grey stripe running down the centre over her chest. She also wears a knee-length grey skirt with a slightly darker gradient towards the hem. Her eyes are obscured in this form by a shadowy gradient over her face.

### Personality

Candlelight is quiet, gentle and somewhat mysterious, often speaking cryptically or vaguely when speaking at all. Despite this, she cares deeply for others and always tries to help out where she can with advice, guidance and contribution. She can get rather worked up in combat, though this is often hard to spot through her stoicism. When advising others, she often comes off as calm, collected and wise, providing knowledge and allowing others to share their stream of consciousness without judgement.

### Powers & Abilities

Candlelight utilizes a wax magic core that allows her to incorporate wax-based magic into her combat. This enables her to engage in spellcasting, as well as wax manipulation and a combination of the two. She often uses this to construct wax barriers and encase her opponents in layers of thick wax, trapping them and allowing her to attack without issue. In damaging, she focuses on blunt hits, such as creating wax weapons or coating her hooves in thick balls of wax before striking, allowing for a much more powerful hit.
