## Story

### Assault on Castle Gray Arc

Having failed to kill Hero Killer and Chain, the Punisher has a meeting with Nanzu amongst a field of reeds. The two assassins become confused while trying to remember the events of Operation Dusk and Yeon's demise. Days later Mendoza is tasked by the Master of The Clan with stopping Engen and the Villains in their attack on Castle Gray.

## Abilities

### Overall Skill Level

As the leader of The Fingers and First Finger of Black Hand, Dalia is an extremely deadly fighter and powerful Gift user, capable of killing members of the Hero Clan's Special Forces with relative ease. Due to this, she is one of Master of The Clan's most trusted subordinates. Both Chain and Hero Killer have acknowledged her to be powerful, with Ihwa comparing her power as a swamp that no one has seen the end of. She was able to repeatably kill Hero Killer with ease, while the villain was barely keeping up by learning her attack patterns every time Chain rewound time with his Gift upon her death.

#### Physical Prowess

**Superhuman Strength**:

**Master Swordswoman**: Dalia has shown herself to be an exceptionally skilled sword wielder. By using both swords simultaneously, Dalia can use her full swordsmanship capabilities.

### Gift

**Snakeheart Sword:** Dalia's gift allows her to create two broadswords that are capable of adjusting their length and bend like a whip, the blades themselves have an intangible quality that allows them to freely pass through the intended targets marking them for slicing, by snapping her fingers any area of the target which the blades passed through will instantly split apart. The blades cannot penetrate through something that a normal sword cannot cut through.

* **Black Snake:** A large broadsword that sports a magenta-purple blade with black ridges, capable of extending and bending like a whip. If the blade slices through her enemy, Dalia can snap her fingers and any area that the blade penetrated through will split apart from where they were sliced. The Black Snake is utilized with an unorthodox angle and curvedly bends rapidly to disorient the target's distance judgement of the approaching blade along with providing Dalia an unpredictable swordsmanship style.

* **White Snake:** A large broadsword that sports a light pink blade with white ridges, capable of extending and bending like a whip. If the blade slices through her enemy, Dalia can snap her fingers and any area that the blade penetrated through will split apart from where they were sliced. The White Snake is utilized with an orthodox, straight-forward angle unlike its black counterpart, making straight paths and bending at a sharp angle to give their target more to work against.

#### **Techniques**

* **Shadow Chase - Two Headed Snake:** Dalia swings the Black Snake upward and has the blade undulate downward in an unorthodox twirling motion towards the target. Simultaneously, Dalia thrusts her White Snake angled slightly downward to burrow through the ground and sharply angle back upward to approach the target straight-ford.

* **Shadow Chase - Descending Dragon:** Dalia swings and thrusts both swords into opposite directions upwards and has them slash and penetrate around the area, quickly closing downward like a rope knot and slide downward all the way to the ground. The blades move according to their designated movement characteristics and penetrate a large portion of the battlefield.

* **Shadow Chase - Ascending Dragon:** Dalia places both swords next to each other, intertwining the blade into one, and rapidly extend her arms apart, unwinding the two blades and having them swing around in circular pattern like helicopter blades. The area of effect slowly ascends upward the more Dalia extends her arms.
