Description
Argent Vallen

Age: 18
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 185 lbs
Build: Lean and athletic; graceful and womanly figure
Branch: Faunus - Dragon
Semblance: Vision
Affiliation:
(Former) Sanctum
(Present) Beacon Academy, Team AMET (Leader)
Symbol: Twin Blades crossing in a downward X, encased in diamond

Weapon:
- Urzara's Fangs: A pair of sabers, each blade as long as her full arm, with curved hilts which can be wielded either way, but are primarily held in a reverse grip. The blades retract into the hilts when not in use. Can be combined into a swordstaff to deal against multiple foes, and/or a bow, using dust-powered energy to fire charged bolts at the enemy. Can be charged to release a single potent blast that drops most enemies, but leaves the weapon inoperable for a time.

Appearance

Argent has pale red tinted skin that contrasts with her usually darker attires. Her eyes are a deep midnight blue, with light black eyeshadow, and past shoulder length hair that is usually kept loose, a dark ebony with streaks of crimson along both the temples and down the back. Mostly human in appearance, the Faunus features she makes little effort to hide are hard to miss: two pairs of dragon horns - one set above the temples temples, the second, larger pair curving back slightly and reaching behind her head before flaring upward. Her teeth are mostly human, save for her canines, a pair of razor sharp fangs. She also has a whip-like serpentine tail that is about 2 feet long, with small spike-stubs along its spine. Her ears are pointed and scaled, baring more similarities to reptiles than human ears.

At Beacon, she wears the standard woman's uniform, albeit with customized leggings to accomodate her tail. When not at school, she usually wears simple jeans and a sleeveless black shirt, her symbol on the left side below the collarbone, with small bracers over each wrist and a pair of leather boots.

Her Huntress battle attire has a medieval knight theme to it, made mostly from a tight, form-fitting black leather, trimmed with gold highlights and only the slightest tinges of red along the cuffs and shoulders beneath medium size pauldrons. Her arms and legs are covered with thick plated gauntlets and thigh high greaves respectively. The boots are designed to look like dragon claws, but are merely for show. Her symbol is once again located on the left side of her chest, below the collarbone.

In all her attires, she keeps her weapons when not in use in a special dual-sided sheath along her upper back so the hilts are in reach on the top of her upper back and shoulders.

Personality

Proud, noble, though somewhat distant because of the prejudice she's forced to deal with, Argent is a capable and natural born leader that often puts others before herself. Though she is a firm believer of Faunus rights, she does not support the extreme actions taken by the White Fang, and even thinks their actions (while successful in short term) are not helping themselves in the long run. When declared the leader of Team AMET, Argent dedicated herself to the position, leading by example as well as making sure it was her friends' choice that they followed her. Not through force and oppression, but by hearing out their problems and encouraging them with carefully chosen and kind-hearted words that help them improve. She is largely respected (or at least not openly ridiculed) by humans and Faunus alike, and strives in her own way to make things better for all.

Though she is slow to anger, her temper once unleashed (usually by hurting her friends or others she deeply cares for) is devastating to behold, a dragon's wrath of fire and destruction. She is also said to be a very heavy sleeper, and more than one comaprison has been made to "waking the sleeping dragon" towards anyone unfortunate to do so. After years of sparring and battle in Sanctum, she holds Phyyra in very high regard, using her fellow huntress as the bar to reach as a huntress, choosing not to be angered by being second best to her all the time, but rather as proof there is always room to improve. She makes every effort to train and become better as a result, a train of thought likewise shared by Sanctum's champion. As a result, she and Phyyra are very good friends and very competitive but friendly rivals.

Combat Prowess

Though Pyrrha Nikos is largely known (and rightfully so) for her record number of tournament victories in Sanctum, many often though unintentially overlook the fact three of her four victories in the finals came against Argent in near legendary hard fought "single person" wars (the fourth battle between the two happened in the first rounds of their fourth year tournament, thus did not repeat the three year pattern before this)

Argent is a very efficient and fierce fighter, skilled in various single and dual sword techniques and more than capable of adapting and changing them either which way. Her swordstaff is likewise a spinning circle of speed and precision and her skill with the bow proficient, albeit only against mid-to-long range targets. When leading the team into battle, she does so always at the front, her example strengthening the team's morale and each order given with flawless calculation and strategic ability. She is frequently offering advice to her three teammates. She even offers and helps train with her partner Margery, helping the other girl improve her limited close range fighting skills. Argent's teaching style is best described as patient and understanding, yet completely unyielding. You either learn to do things right or not at all, and give nothing less than 100%.

Her greatest strength however lies in her semblance of vision. When in use, her sapphire and human-like eyes change to golden and develop a dragon-like iris. It allows her to see anything and everything around her in crystal clear focus, allowing her move, strike and adapt with unparalleled precision. Argent' semblance also proves an excellent counter against Pyyrha's semblance of polarity, as she was quickly able to notice and adapt her strikes accordingly to prevent Pyrrha from lightly knocking them away. That said, vision is not completely fool proof, as even though she possesses unmatched vision, it is not omnipotent. Simply put, Argent still can't dodge or block the attack if she can't see it coming. Her vision also leaves her slightly vulnerable to bright lights, which can suddenly, though briefly, blind her. She makes great efforts to never let her guard down and prevent this, even when victory seems at hand.

Though never a champion in any of her four Sanctum tournaments and usually the runner-up to Pyyrha, she is still rightfully seen as one of the greatest Huntresses in training to ever come from Sanctum.
