Harpe Spatha

**Age**: 17

**Codename**: Rebis

## **Powers**

* Master of blades (wikipedia: “A blade is the portion of a tool, weapon, or machine with an edge that is designed to puncture, chop, slice or scrape surfaces or materials.”)
* Can produce blades from their body (these blades can only be wielded by them, if someone else tries the blade will just disappear)
* Can telekinetically manipulate blades
* Can turn into any blade but while in this form they cannot use any other abilities
* They wear vengestone infused gauntlets/gloves to keep their power at bay. Without the gloves, movements they make can send blades shooting from their skin, which can potentially injure someone near them

## **Personality**

Harpe has a very hard time showcasing emotions, even ones like pain, for they have been trained that an emotion is not needed for fighting. However, as they interact more with the others, they are learning new things. They also have no grasp of modern technology, having never even used a phone before they arrived in Ninjago city. Sometimes, Harpe can come off as cold or even rude, but they aren't doing it on purpose. And although they have a difficult time showing it, they're trying to understand friendship and they care for the people close to them, and are always open to being vented to even if they don't really know what to say afterwards.

## **Backstory**

**The Island Of Igila**

Igila is the island where Harpe was raised for 15 years.

It is slightly mountainous, with lots of trees and a dense jungle-like forest. All of the buildings are oriental style, and are mostly black, white, gray, and red. It is dimly lit with lanterns, and it is a quite foggy area. There is also a lot of shrubbery and bonsai around the buildings. While no modern technology is permitted on the island, it does have running water and electricity.

**The Spatha Family**

While the Spatha name is not very well known, especially in Ninjago City, the family does have notable connections to many powerful people and groups. The Spatha family can be considered something similar to a “mafia” family, having existed generations and dealing with arms trading, particularly blades, due to the family's elemental power which has been passed down for many years. The only current members of the family (who have carried the element and have not intermegred with a different family) are Jian Spatha and Harpe Spatha. The family is considerably wealthy, and Jian is the current head of the family. Most of the other members were killed in a police raid of an arms deal or died in captivity when Jian was 12. She was then raised by the servants until she was old enough to take over the family. The servants of the house come from a few lines that the Spathas have employed for generations. They are sworn to secrecy about any goings around the island (such as torturing a child or any illegal arms trades) and have to remain completely loyal to the Spatha name. When Harpe was growing up, they were not allowed to interact with anyone who was on the island except for a few servants (ones that had been very loyal and useful to the Spathas) and their mother. However, they were occasionally used for carrying out tasks related to killing unwilling clients.

**Jian Spatha**

Harpes mother. She was orphaned at the age of 12, leaving her to be the only elemental left in the Spatha family. She grew up having to take total control of the family at the age of 16. This led to her becoming a very tactical, sly and bitter person. She seeks revenge over the deaths of her elders, and wants to use Harpe to take over Ninjago. Because she felt her powers were not strong enough to carry out the task, she decided to pass her powers down to Harpe, who would be rigorously trained to make a perfect elemental.
