Alani Sinoper

**Alani Sinoper**is a student from Atlas Academy and the leader of Team ACAI. Her weapon of choice is Ironsight, a sniper rifle/glaive. Her team consists of Conway Sallow, Aspen Alabaster and Iris Odell.

## Appearance

Alani is a dark-tan-skinned girl of average height, with orange eyes and dark brown hair tied back in a low ponytail. She wears a sienna coloured beret and and trenchcoat, black gloves, a white shirt and high-waisted grey-tan trousers as well as knee-high black boots, one of which is padded so she can kneel on it.

## Personality

Born in Vacuo, Alani’s strict routine of caring for her sickly uncle lead her to dislike her home kingdom’s riotous way of life and crave order. Eventually the two were able to immigrate to Atlas where they experienced better healthcare and a greater sense of order.

Alani enrolled in Atlas’s Huntsman Academy. Her obedience, respect, and ability to whip some of the more troublesome Atlas students into shape highlighted Alani as a strong candidate to be fast-tracked specialist position post-graduation.

A dutiful leader, Alani commands respect from those around her and not without reason; she possesses a natural sense of strategy which makes her an invaluable asset in the field. Her role in a fight is more that of a chessmaster, directing her teammates while she takes a defensive position with her rifle.

## Abilities and Powers

Alani's fighting style relies on distance, granting her the space she needs to use her sniper rifle and give orders to her team. Her glaive also allows her to engage in mid-range to close-quarters combat.

### Semblance

Alani's semblance is Farsight, allowing her to zoom in on targets without aid of binoculars, scopes or other visual aids. Her keen vision means she can confidently identify enemy position and form strategy around it, and also attack from extremely far distances.

## Trivia

### Colour Naming Rule

* "Alani" is a Hawaiian name meaning "orange tree"
* "Sinoper" is a dark reddish-brown natural earth pigment.
* She is somewhat based off of Ana Amari from the game Overwatch.
Roderick Lincoln/Behind the Scenes

Overview
**Behind the Scenes**

During production of the comic, a lot goes on behind the scenes in regards to planning and design, which often go through multiple stages before resulting in the final version that is published in pages. Some concepts and ideas can have an effect on the show and characters, and unexpected occurrences during production can also lead to changes and additions to the plans for the comic.

## Character Basis

Roderick Lincoln alludes to Rhydderch the Generous. This allusion has had the following influences on the character and comic:

* Rhydderch the Generous's sword was named Dyrnwyn - "Whitehilt" - while Roderick's weapon is named Redhilt.
	+ When drawn by a worthy or well-born man, *Dyrnwyn* would blaze with fire. Redhilt is imbued with Fire Dust, causing it to erupt into flames on command.
	+ Rhydderch was never reluctant to hand *Dyrnwyn* weapon to anyone. Roderick handed his weapon to his sister Robin when sacrificing his life to protect her and their family.

## Emblem

   Roderick's symbol is a stylised flaming sword, red in colour. This reflects both his own weapon, Redhilt, and the weapon used by his character basis, Rhydderch Hael.
Petra Redwood/Behind the Scenes

Some concepts and ideas can have an effect on the show and characters, and unexpected occurrences during production can also lead to changes and additions to the plans for the comic.

## Character Basis

Petra Redwood alludes to the Stone Forest of Shilin, particularly the folkloric figure Ashima from the legend surrounding the forest. This allusion has had the following influences on the character and comic:

* Petra is a name of Greek origin meaning "Stone", while Redwood is a species of tree, meaning Petra's name effectively means 'stone forest'.
* Her semblance allows her to control existing stone to some degree and create protrusions similar to that of Shilin's stalagmites.
* Ashima was a beautiful girl of the Yi people. Petra is considered very beautiful by many characters.

## Emblem

Petra's symbol is a reddish-grey tree in a circular shape, referencing the Stone Forest of Shilin.

## Production

* Robin's aura was originally red in Arc 1, but was changed to green in Arc 2 to be more aesthetically pleasing.
Gardner Braith/Behind the Scenes

Overview
**Behind the Scenes**

Some concepts and ideas can have an effect on the show and characters, and unexpected occurrences during production can also lead to changes and additions to the plans for the comic.

## Character Basis

Gardner Braith alludes to the Deadly Sin of Gluttony, following his family's theme of the Seven Deadly Sins. This allusion has had the following influences on the character and comic:

* Gardner is a type of orange, Gluttony being the overindulgence of food.
* Gardner complains about fighting on an empty stomach.
* His semblance allows him to consume aura. When using it on Akane, it is his mouth that opens extremely wide and he speaks of hunger and taste while doing so.

## Emblem

Gardner's symbol is a beast like face with a gaping maw of a mouth, baring sharp fangs. This is heavily tied to his gluttony allusion, and it also shares a simplified version of the scarring on the left side of his face.

## Production

* Gardner's name was originally Gamboge, which is a brown-orange colour.
Crystal

Crystals are one of the 3 currencies used inside LoMM and can be earned and used in a variety of ways.

The main sources to get Crystals is through battles in the World Map and your Crystal Deposits. After winning certain battles they reward you a specific quantity of Gold and Crystals while the Crystal Deposits in your Base generate Crystals permanently, so be sure to check them often and collect the Crystals before they reach their max capacity!

You can check the amount of Crystals you currently have at the top right corner of the screen when you are at your Base.

After you collect the Crystals you can use it in a variety of ways, the main one is to upgrade your Heroes, Spells and forge equipment. Crystals are crucial for the development of your game because they are necessary for all your team upgrades and are responsible for everything that makes your Heroes stronger.

**Related buildings:**

Crystal Deposits - These are your Crystal mines, the more you upgrade them, the more Crystals they generate for you, but remember whenever the deposits reach their max capacity they cannot produce more Crystals until you collect what has already been produced! You can collect by tapping the deposits whenever the Crystal icon is visible.

Crystal Storehouses - This is where your Crystals are stored after been collected, which means you have a limited capacity of how many Crystals you can store before spending it. Upgrading your Storehouses increases the capacity that can be stored in each one of them.
Natsuki Amaranth

**Natsuki Amaranth** is the seventh daughter of Aka and Yukiko Amaranth.

## Appearance

Natsuki is a young girl of average height with slightly tan skin, purple eyes and waist length red hair. She wears a yellow t-shirt with light blue trim, a pale pink suspender skirt with vibrant blue leggings and purple and white sneakers.

## Personality

Natsuki seems a blunt and stubborn girl, reminiscent of Akane’s less encouraging tendencies. Her experiences at home seem to have left her bitter given how she asks Akane if she has come to ‘get her out of there’.

Akane has something of a maternal relationship with Natsuki, treating her warmly and attempting to keep her presentable by brushing her hair out of her face - likely acting as a substitute for their real mother who has proved manipulative and abusive.

## Trivia

### Allusion

* Natsuki alludes to Bishamonten of the Seven Lucky Gods
	+ Bishamonten is the God of fortune in wars and battles, and is the patron of fighters as well as representing authority and dignity. This is reflected in Natsuki’s blunt and stalwart nature.

### Colour Naming Rule

* Natsuki’s forename is derived from 夏 (natsu) meaning "summer" and 希 (ki) meaning "hope", and this is reflected in her summery colour palette.
* Amaranth is a pinkish-red plant.

Flynn Hearth

**Flynn Hearth** is a student from Haven Academy and leader of Team HOLT. His team consists of Pecan Oakheart, Sandy Linnet and Tallow Colt.

## Character

A daring and enthusiastic young man, Flynn is one of Haven’s seniors, and has earned the reputation of being the ‘big brother’ of the Academy. Tall, muscular, handsome and kind, he is the target of many a student’s affection.

It wasn’t always that way, though. Flynn was a relatively scrawny kid when he was younger, and dedicated himself to becoming a fighter a lot later than most. His ability to catch up to the other students at Haven as well as exceed some of them is a credit to his dedication - but he doesn’t let it get to his head. Flynn is nothing if not humble.

Flynn serves as an inspiration to many, not least his younger sister Ember, who followed in his footsteps and began training at Haven herself.

## Abilities and Powers

### Weapon

Flynn fights with a morning star, the head of which can be extended on a chain and lashed around as a flail. With the addition of fire dust, Flynn is an intimidating combatant.

### Semblance

Flynn possesses the power to absorb heat, fire or explosions and use it to power himself up. The more volatile or large-scale the source of the heat is, the more strain he will undergo to absorb it.

## Trivia

### Allusion

Flynn alludes to Hephaestus, the Greek god of blacksmiths, fire and volcanoes.

### Colour Naming Rule

* "Flynn" comes from Irish Gaelic *Flann*; “red”
* A "Hearth" is a stone area in front of a fireplace.
Lilliana Lincoln

—Lilli to Robin.

* Current
* Original

**Others:** Zephyr *(cousin)*, Amarillo I *(ancestor)*, Amarillo II *(grandfather)*

## Media

### First Appearance

Page 294

**Lilliana "Lilli" Lincoln**is a member of the Lincoln Clan; the second daughter of Orion and Artemis. Her signature weapons are Lopperhawk and Cropperhawk, a labrys and a shield with a built in buzz saw.

## Appearance

Lilli is a young girl of average height, with tan skin, orange eyes and long blonde-brown hair tied into a braid that runs across her forehead, over her right ear.

She wears a pink and white dress over a white blouse. She also wears pink elbow-length fingerless gloves, dark pink-purple bike shorts and white heeled shoes, socks and gaiters with a fur trim.

## Personality

Lilli has a spiteful, insolent personality - particularly towards her elder sister, who she generally attempts to antagonise, seemingly because she has aura and has broken the code of the Lincoln clan.

However, she quickly backs down when told to by Roderick, suggesting that she has respect for him or is intimidated by him. It also seems that her contemptuous personality extends beyond Robin, as Marina states she's got worse in Robin's absence.

## Trivia

### Allusion

* Lilli alludes to the Sheriff of Nottingham from Robin Hood lore, who was famously Robin Hood's rival.
	+ Lilli's design is antithetical to Robin's - her colours are inversions of Robin's, she inherited the opposite hair and eye colour from their parents, and fights with weapons that are the opposites of Robin's.

### Colour Naming Rule

* "Lilliana" is derived from the flower name Lily, which have ties to the colour pink.
* Her surname alludes to Lincoln green, the colour worn by Robin Hood.

Robin Lincoln/History

Overview
**History**
Affiliation
Behind the Scenes

## Background

Robin Lincoln is the fourth child of Orion Lincoln and Artemis Garland, the younger sister of Roderick and William, twin sister of Marina. and elder sister of Lilliana She was raised with her siblings in the secluded settlement of Knothole, located to the far east of Anima.

Robin's family is a noble clan that governs themselves in most instances but still falls under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Mistral. Her father is the lord of the swampland in which they live, as well as the smaller clans who surround them. The clan is based in the citadel of Knothole and is comprised of many peripheral and honorary members of the Lincoln bloodline, though Robin is a direct descendant of the Lord.

## Early Life

Robin had an amiable relationship with her eldest brother Roderick and a strained one with William. However, she was closest to her twin, Marina. During the events of the comic she blurts out that one of her brothers, most likely William, convinced her she was a boy until she was four years old, suggesting her parents were somewhat distant. Despite this, it can be noted that she *was* very close to her mother which may in fact suggest Artemis saw little issue in the teasing.

She learned to use weapons and hunt animals from a young age with help from her brothers, parents, and the family's lack of distinction between genders, but decided to become a huntress at some point.

## Adolescence

Robin briefly attended Sanctum Academy as an exchange student of sorts. It is here that she realised she was bisexual, thanks to a dual crush on the twins Blaine and Aurelia Besart, the former of whom she dated for an unknown period of time and the latter after the fact.

Her history blurs following her brief stint at Sanctum, but it appears that she did not spent much time - if any - back at Knothole after it. At fourteen she was exiled for her usage of aura, which the clan frowned upon heavily.

After returning to Mistral, Robin apparently had a relationship with an individual named Satin Argyris, younger sister of known criminal, Silk Argyris.

Following this Robin's exact actions are again unknown, but she eventually ended up enrolling at Haven Academy - the school accepting her was likely down to a combination of her skills, time at Sanctum, and her social status as the daughter of a Lord.

She completed her initiation, which was in some way related to darkness, and earned Akane Amaranth as a partner. They were later paired with Irving Hawthorne and Nyssa Noirette to form Team RAIN, with Robin assigned as leader due to her quick thinking and skill during the trial.

During their first year Team RAIN learned to plan and execute team attacks. In their second Robin bumped into Marron Armona at a coffee shop - and the two later went on a date. After several dates Robin unlocked Marron's aura through their first kiss.

Team RAIN later ventured to the Kingdom of Vale to take place in the Vytal Festival Tournament. They bested Team BASL in the teams bracket, but Robin and Akane fell to Team ALMD in the doubles.
Grimm

**Grimm**, or the **Creatures of Grimm**, are the universal antagonists of Remnant, inhabiting various parts of the world.

They are described as "creatures of destruction" that lack a soul; hence, they are unable to use Aura. They are also drawn to feelings of negativity- such as envy, sadness, loneliness and hatred- often congregating towards the source of these emotions.

At one point, ancient cultures believed that Grimm were animals possessed by evil spirits or were the tortured spirits of animals.
Team MARS

Team **MARS** was a team of students from Haven Academy. Since their graduation they have disbanded - Makkuro Sekinetsu currently works for the Amaranth family, whilst Oxblood Rutherford and Horace Ashworth pursue a straightforward huntsman career.

## Trivia

* The team name brings to mind the reddish-orange colour of the planet Mars.
Viola Braith/Behind the Scenes

Overview
**Behind the Scenes**

During production of the comic, a lot goes on behind the scenes in regards to planning and design, which often go through multiple stages before resulting in the final version that is published in pages. Some concepts and ideas can have an effect on the show and characters, and unexpected occurrences during production can also lead to changes and additions to the plans for the comic.

## Character Basis

Viola Braith alludes to the Deadly Sin of Lust, following her family's theme of the Seven Deadly Sins. This allusion has had the following influences on the character and comic:

* Viola is easily aroused.
* Her semblance allows her to make someone see her as the person they lust after most.

## Emblem

Viola's symbol is a Venus Symbol within a heart. This reflects how she uses her feminine 'wiles' to get to people.
Maera Noirette

* Casual
* Hospital
* Young

**Maera Noirette** is the mother of Nyssa Noirette, currently hospitalised due to some form of serious illness. Nyssa spent her student funds attempting to pay for Maera's medical bills.

As of Arc 2, Maera is in remission, and resides at the apartment she used to share with her daughter.

## Appearance

Maera looks a lot like her daughter, with pale skin and black hair, but their are clear differences - unlike her daughter, Maera has green eyes, and is most notably human as opposed to faunus. She keeps her hair in a ponytail over one shoulder, and wears a hospital gown due to her poor health.

Following her discharge from Mistral's hospital due to her going into remission, Maera wears a collared white shirt under a brown sweater.

## Personality

Maera is a kind and considerate woman, insistent on making sure her daughter is well despite her own ill health. She expresses pride in her daughter and is concerned when she puts herself down or shows a lack of faith. Most notably is her concern about Nyssa being the victim of discrimination.

Maera says she 'promised' to be a better mother, suggesting she was not always one in the past. This may be because Nyssa is a faunus and Maera had trouble understanding how to raise someone whose issues she could not properly comprehend, but it is also likely that she was detached from her daughter due to past trauma surrounding the girl's father that she was initially unable to overlook.

## References

### Allusion

* Following the canine motif of her family, Maera alludes to the mythological hound of the same name, a hound of Erigone, despite being a human.

### Colour Naming Rule

* "Maera" is found in the name of the Wall brown butterfly, *"Lasiommata maera",* meaning her name fits the Colour Naming Rule.
* "Noirette" is a term for black hair.
Stalagmight

* Greatsword
* Sword
* Rifle

**Stalagmight** is Petra Redwood's signature weapon. It is simply an excessively large sword.

It has also been shown to be able to split into two swords, handy if an ally loses their weapon.

## Trivia

* "Stalagmight" is a portmanteau of the words "Stalagmite", a rock formation protruding from the ground, and "Might", meaning impressive power or strength.
Kim Rezar

**Kim Rezar** is a member of Team BRUT and the Sisterhood. Her weapon of choice is a spiked metal bat, her original weapon having been confiscated, until she reclaimed it during the Fall of Beacon. Her Weapon is Mortal Coil, a bat that can turn into a tetsubo.

## Appearance

Rezar is a girl of 5'10" with pale brown skin, golden eyes and black hair with gold streaks.

### Original Outfit

Rezar wears a grey-green bomber jacket with the sleeves rolled up and mismatching fingerless gloves - her right arm is covered above the elbow while her left is only covered to the wrist. She has war paint identical to Bister's on her cheekbones in the form of two black stripes.

Rezar also wears black leather pants along with a brown belt and knee-high boots with silver buckles.

### Current Outfit

Rezar wears a grey-brown and cream varsity-style jacket over a high-necked black crop top. She wears tight-fitting brown pants, the left leg of which is rolled up to expose a leg guard held up by a garter. Instead of a belt, she wears a gold chain around her waist.

She also wears yellow combat boots and brown motorcycle gloves.

## Abilities and Powers

Like Bister, Kim is a slow and heavy combatant, using her bat-tetsubo to deliver heavy hits at the cost of speed.

### Semblance

*Main Article: AU-gment*
Rezar's semblance allows her to manipulate gold, but only that which already exists. She cannot make herself rich or transmute other objects into gold.

## Trivia

### Allusion

* Rezar alludes to the fairy tale of Rumpelstiltskin, specifically the Miller's daughter.
	+ Much like the fairy tale, her character has a consistent theme of gold.
	+ Her semblance allows her to manipulate gold, much like how Rumpelstiltskin could spin gold from straw.

### Colour Naming Rule

* Kim is a Vietnamese name meaning "golden".
* Rezar is an Albanian name composed of the elements *rreze* "ray," and *ar* "gold," hence "golden ray."

### Miscellaneous

* Kim's zodiac sign is Cancer.
* Kim is exceptionally cruel towards faunus, particularly Nyssa, making animal related jokes and comparisons towards them.
The Sisterhood

The Sisterhood is an underground organisation created to protect the young women of Mistral who are vulnerable due to poverty, family situation or inability to defend themselves. Having been historically led by retired huntresses, members of the Sisterhood tend to train in combat and some attend Huntsman Academies.

The Sisterhood never sticks to one constant base of operations, moving around so as to protect its members. All members are trained in a method of recruitment and provide directions to the current base. The most recent known base is a refinery accessible via abandoned mines in Tsubaki District, with Team BRUT defending the passage leading to it.

The current head of the Sisterhood is Murasaki Morado, who previously trained Nyssa Noirette and Jin-Shi Pan.

Though the Sisterhood seen in Team RAIN primarily focuses on young women, there have been multiple male members. Some of those male ex-members have started a smaller, somewhat analogous movement known as The Brotherhood.

## Members

### Current Members

* Periwinkle Bister
* Kim Rezar
* Blanche Umber
* Tawny Bayardo
* Two Unnamed Girls

### Former Members

* Nyssa Noirette
* Jīn-Shī Pan

Ashcroft DeRosiers

**Ashcroft DeRosiers** was one of Farran Hawthorne's high-society friends, seen in the mayor's company a few times. He served as an Alderman in the town of Avon.

A victim of Viola Braith's Grimm attack on Avon, Ashcroft was 'poisoned' by wine containing Grimm Serum, causing him to be mutated and congealed into a single Grimm with his friends.

## Appearance

Ashcroft was a tall, slender, middle-aged man with grey hair and pale red-brown eyes. His hair was combed over and shaved at the sides, but he maintained two mutton chops and a moustache.

He wore a grey suit with a red cravat.

The Free Territories

## Bijozakura

**The Free Territories,** more commonly known as **Bijozakura,** is a region comprised of the easternmost peninsula of the continent of Anima. Its ecosystem is comprised mainly of forest and swampland, and it is sparsely populated, its inhabitants mainly limited to just a few large settlements.

The region is populated exclusively by the Marsh Clans, several ancient families that follow a feudalistic governing system.

Despite the region falling under jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Mistral, it is very separate from Greater Mistral, and travellers are often considered extremely unwelcome.

## Trivia

* "Bijozakura" is derived from "美女桜" meaning "Cooperative" in Hanakotoba.
Otso Umber

* Current
* Arc 2
* Grimm Fusion
* Arc 1

**Otso Umber** is a former huntsman who graduated from Beacon Academy. It is unknown how well perceived his career as a huntsman was, but he is currently disgraced and his status is uncertain in the eyes of the authorities.

Otso briefly worked as hired muscle for the Braiths, under the belief that Viorel Braith's scientific advances could grant him strength and youth. He was the first test subject for Grimm Serum being injected into a human, which transformed him into a monstrous hybrid. Robin Lincoln, Akane Amaranth and Irving Hawthorne barely managed to defeat his new form, and when he was found by Viola and Viorel Braith, his regenerated aura had killed the Grimm in his system - restoring him to his human state, but without the eyes he had lost in battle.

He was thereby held captive by the Braiths at Zenith as he held crucial information about their plans, but somehow managed to escape due to Viola neglecting to ensure his captivity. He later found his way to Faraday, where he pressed locals on how to gain new eyes.

His weapon of choice is Metsäsäjuma, a Greatsword/Shotgun hybrid.

## Appearance

Otso is a middle-aged man of colossal size - both immensely tall and broad - with tan skin and greyed brown hair.

### Current

Currently Otso is shirtless, exposing rufescent skin on his chest where he was injected with Grimm Serum. He has a bandage around his eyes where he was blinded, and wears grey trousers and black-brown boots.

### Original

He wears black, armoured boots, grey trousers and a white shirt with a long brown-orange coat with a high collar and dark brown accents. He also has a X-shaped scar on the left side of his head and black gloves.

### Student

As a student, Otso had slicked-back hair and stubble. He wore a similar high-collared jacket.

## Abilities and Powers

Otso presumably relies on his weight and size in fights, using heavy weaponry and brute strength to win a battle.

### Semblance

*Main article: Excruciate*
Otso's semblance, 'Excruciate', allows him to inflict agonising pain in a set radius. It does not discriminate between friend or foe, but can be nullified by covering one's ears - meaning that creatures such as Grimm are not intelligent enough to avoid the effects.

## Trivia

### Allusion

* Otso alludes to a bear spirit of the same name.

Excruciate

**Wildfire** is Otso Umber's semblance.

Using it, he can project pain onto a target.

## Description

Otso's semblance allows him to inflict agonising pain with only his thoughts. It does not discriminate between friend or foe, but can be nullified by covering one's ears - meaning that creatures such as Grimm are not intelligent enough to avoid the effects.

Otso can also direct pain towards singular targets, and this appears to have a lasting psychological effect as demonstrated with Robin Lincoln.

Rusty Gilford

**Rusty Gilford** was a member of the Vacuan criminal gang unofficially known as the Crazy Bunch. His weapons of choice were two brown machine pistols. During the Battle at Unsei Ridge, he wielded two pistol-dagger weapons known as Eatin' Irons, presumably looted from Kiiroibara.

## Appearance

Rusty was a young man in his early-to-mid twenties with red hair and deep blue eyes. His nose was scarred and he had thin, pointed eyebrows.

He wore an orange scarf and brown waistcoat over an orange-brown shirt, with sandy yellow trousers, a dark brown belt, socks and gun holster, and brown cowboy boots with gold spurs.

## Personality

Rusty was sadistic, violent and quick to anger - taking pleasure in making his enemies suffer. Despite their similarities, he did not get along with Sterling Braith.

## Death

**Killed by:**

* Petra Redwood

After disarming and stabbing Isambard Nihtholt, Rusty neglects to pay attention to Petra - who is forced to kill him with Kopfjaeger to save her teammate.

## Abilities and Powers

Rusty presumably had some amount of competence as a criminal and mercenary, as he has not been apprehended while at large for 'years'. Unlike many of the other members of the Crazy Bunch he had access to a small amount of Aura, but used it more as a bludgeoning weapon to take out his enemies' rather than making any real use of it.

## Trivia

### Allusion

* Rusty very loosely alludes to Butch Cassidy.
	+ Rusty remarking to Isambard Nihtholt and Petra Redwood that he "isn't crazy, just colourful" is a direct quote from Butch Cassidy.

### Colour Naming Rule

* "Rusty" is derived from a nickname which was originally given to someone with a reddish-brown, hair colour.
Bramble Hawthorne

## Appearance

Bramble is a young boy with dark skin and fluffy dark brown hair. He wears a simple light umber sweater over a white shirt, along with brown pants and white sneakers.

## Personality

Bramble is a boy of few words, appearing quite distant. He shows an impatience towards Irving’s poor recollection of his age, as well as a childlike disgust of Irving’s romantic inclinations with Nyssa Noirette.

## Trivia

### Allusion

* Bramble alludes to the Aesop’s Fable “The Fir and the Bramble.”
	+ He is directly named after the Bramble.
	+ The fable’s moral is tied to humility, which Bramble’s distant disposition seems to display.
	+ His father, Douglas Fir, alludes to the Fir in the fable.

### Colour Naming Rule

She is described as an elite huntress, holding the title "Protector of Avon" and having a statue in the grounds of Hawthorne Manor despite still being alive. She trained Irving before he departed to Mistral to join Sanctum Academy.

Much like her nephew, Lucero is depicted as wearing armour and wielding a battle hammer named Polaris, though hers is much more lightweight.

She alludes to the Nursery Rhyme "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."

* Her name means “luminary; brilliance; morningstar.”
* The lines “*Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky*” reflect the unattainable heights of her glory as a winner of the Vytal Tournament and an extremely prolific huntsman career.

## Appearance

Kelvin was a tall man with pale skin with cyan eyes, his silver-blonde hair kept close-cropped along with a chinstrap-style beard. He wore a grey tunic with a dull gold trim, light blue trousers and dark grey boots and bracers.

## Personality

Kelvin was a stalwart man, protecting Kiirobara to his death. He also possessed a prideful streak, unwilling to die easily to the likes Sterling Braith.

## Abilities and Powers

Kelvin was a close-combat fighter, his weapons lacking a ranged component. He was capable of sustaining notable damage without reacting severely, but was vulnerable to Sterling Braith's semblance.

### Semblance

Kelvin's semblance allowed him to turn parts of his body to a crystalline substance to both deliver and sustain more damage.

## Trivia

### Allusion

* Kelvin alludes to Hels Helsen, a character from the Paul Bunyan folklore.
	+ Hels was a giant who fought Paul Bunyan and later became his friend for life - reflecting how Kelvin was on a team with Kiefer Hemlock, who alludes to Paul Bunyan.

### Colour Naming Rule

* The name "Kelvin" means "Narrow Water".
* The surname "Laukkanen" is derived from a nickname for a person who took big steps - reflecting Kelvin's allusion to a giant.
Repulsion

**Repulsion** is Tahlia Braith's semblance.

It is a limited form of telekinesis that allows her to push things away from herself.

## Description

Tahlia can repel anything she so desires with equal or even greater force, allowing her to maintain her slothful disposition. This is not limited to attacks; she can also repel objects or other people in a limited form of telekinesis which lacks any control over which direction the target is repelled.

## Trivia

* Repulsion is reflective of Tahlia's allusion to the sin of Sloth.
	+ It allows her to completely shy away from combat by keeping her opponents away from her.

* Theoretically, Tahlia could also repel the floor beneath her feet to achieve an extremely high jump or a brief period of levitation.
Marron Armona/Behind the Scenes

Overview
**Behind the Scenes**

During production of the comic, a lot goes on behind the scenes in regards to planning and design, which often go through multiple stages before resulting in the final version that is published in pages. Some concepts and ideas can have an effect on the show and characters, and unexpected occurrences during production can also lead to changes and additions to the plans for the comic.

## Character Basis

Marron Armona alludes to the folkloric character Maid Marian. This allusion has had the following influences on the character and comic:

* Marron is the love interest of Robin Lincoln, who alludes to Robin Hood.
* "Marron" is the name "Marian" converted to a colour.
* Robin and Marron treat each other as equals in their relationship, much like Robin Hood and Maid Marian.
* Marian is portrayed as a capable character despite the time her source material was created, and Marron is similarly capable despite her status as a civilian.

## Emblem

Marron's symbol is a chestnut covered with half a shell, with a heart in the center. This refers to both of her names meaning 'chestnut' to some degree, as well as displaying her loving and supportive nature.
Mortal Coil

* Bat
* Tetsubo

Mortal Coil is the Weapon of Kim Rezar. It is a bat that can turn into a kanabo.

## Description

Mortal Coil takes the form of a heavy metal bat with studs along its length. It also has the ability to extend into a kanabo, fire venting out of its extentions and its studs forming into spikes.

## Trivia

* "Mortal coil" is a poetic term that refers to the troubles of daily life and the strife and suffering of the world.
ZRCN/Calantha Rossi

**Calantha Rossi** is a former antagonist in ZRCN. The younger sister to Belleza and Bianca Rossi, she was formerly a part of their schemes until she defected to ally with Team ZRCN and Atlas.

## Appearance

Calantha is seemingly below average height, with pale skin, shoulder-length green hair and piercing red eyes. Like her sisters, she wears a bright red piece of jewellery - in this case, her necklace.

She wears a beige turtleneck under a short green dress with a low neckline and a pleated skirt. She also wears grey metal armour over her forearms and hands with fingerless black gloves. She has ankle boots over thigh-high black stockings.

## Personality

In stark contrast to her sisters, Calantha is more of a wallflower who shows much more remorse and morality. This ultimately results in a betrayal of her family in order to do the right thing, and a defection to the side of Team ZRCN and Atlas.

She seems to have a low opinion of herself given her apparent anxiety, and this is likely due to constant bullying from Belleza. When she is away from her sisters, she comes out of her shell a lot more, particularly around Morgan Lark of the Mobile Operatives, with whom she shares a keen interest in technology.

## Abilities and Powers

Calantha's key skill is her engineering ability, able to rework and improve robotics due to having a key understanding of them.

### Weaknesses

Calantha's key weakness is most likely her lack of willpower to stand up to others. It is also entirely likely she is completely untrained in combat, instead allowing her creations to do the work for her.

## Trivia

### Allusion

* Calantha alludes to Cordelia from King Lear.
	+ Like Cordelia, Calantha is the youngest of three sisters.
	+ While Goneril and Regan are considered villains, Cordelia is not - much like how Belleza and Bianca are considered villains, but Calantha is not.
	+ Like Cordelia, Calantha has an elderly father.

### Colour Naming Rule

* Calantha comes from "Calanthe", ultimately deriving from the Greek *καλός (kalos)* meaning "beautiful" and *ἄνθος (anthos)* meaning "flower".
* Rossi derives from the Italian "rosso", which in turn derives from the Latin "russus" meaning "red".
Lloyd Hawthorne

**Lloyd Hawthorne** is the elder brother of Irving Hawthorne.

## Appearance

Lloyd bears a strong facial resemblance to his brother, though he is much taller and thinner, with a darker skin tone and black hair which he ties into a bun. He also has deep blue eyes. He wears a long grey jacket with darker trim, along with a white cravat over a high-necked magnolia shirt. He wears grey trousers, and black knee-high boots.

## Personality

Initially appearing blunt and critical towards Irving upon his return home, it is quickly revealed that Lloyd shares a bond with his brother that allows them to ‘insult’ each other with no hard feelings. The two quickly take shots at each others’ appearance and build and swiftly laugh them off.

Lloyd appears much more observant and book-smart than his siblings, quickly surmising that Irving and Nyssa are romantically involved.

## Trivia

### Allusion

* Lloyd alludes to the Nursery Rhyme “A Wise Old Owl.”
	+ Lloyd is the first of the family to detect the romantic tension between Irving and Nyssa. When Ivy asks him how he knows, he tells her “the less you speak, the more you hear,” which is a direct reference to the rhyme.
	+ Lloyd’s emblem is that of an owl.

### Colour Naming Rule

* ”Lloyd” is derived from the welsh *llwyd* meaning “grey.”
* "Hawthorne" derives from the Hawthorn bush.
Divining Rod

**Divining Rod** is Finch Vogel's semblance.

It allows him to track and detect anyone with whom he has a close emotional bond.

## Description

Purely by thinking about someone with whom he shares a deep emotional bond or has shared an emotional moment with, Finch can detect where in the world they are and use it to find them.

He used his semblance to find Robin Lincoln after hearing about the Fall of Knothole, and later on used it to trace Jin-Shi Pan to Unsei Ridge so that he could reunite Maylis Lincoln with her family.

## Trivia

* Robin jokingly refers to Finch's semblance as stalking.
* Finch's semblance's name is a euphemism.
Fate

**Fate** is the Semblance of Robin Lincoln.

Robin's semblance allows her to perform at peak human capacity at critical moments, which allows her to accomplish astonishing feats such as jumps or dodges that could only be made if she was at her absolute best.

## Description

Robin's semblance is multifaceted in that she has used it to influence various aspects of her performance in combat. She is most often seen using it to dodge the attacks of her opponents, such as when fighting Kamala Braith or training against Marron Armona.

Robin has also used Fate to ensure that she lands attacks, such as when she maimed Sterling Braith. It is also noted by Akane Amaranth that Robin's semblance should work on a low level to increase her capacity for healing herself, which Robin later confirms to Maylis Lincoln.

While her semblance makes her a hard target, it relies on her level of awareness - meaning she has to consciously identify a threat she needs to avoid or a feat she needs to achieve, meaning that feigned or multiple attacks or actions can catch her out.

When fuelled by Marron's semblance, Supercharge, Robin's ability to dodge goes from peak human to superhuman.

## Trivia

* Robin's semblance allowing her to pull off extremely impressive feats loosely alludes to how Robin Hood was able to split one arrow with another during an archery competition.
* As of Arc 3, Robin's semblance comes with a visual signifier - her eyes glow green and emit a trail when she uses it.
