Description
Now with updated bio and design, introducing the second-in-command of Team UMBR, Marina Syrene!

Name: Marina Syrene (Marina as in marine blue, also referencing the ocean. Syrene is a play off of the word Siren since she's based off of the Little Mermaid (official ver. not Disney's ver.))
Color Represented: Marine Blue
Age: 19
Height: 5'11''
Grade: Year 3 (Junior)
Weight: ...Marina: "Ahahaha! A little here, a little back there... "
Unique Traits: Marina used to be a pickpocket for a short time with Umber, when she wasn't sure where her life was headed

Backstory
Marina is the daughter of a fisherman. She's lived on a boat off the coast of Vale her entire life and knows the ocean like the back of her hand because of this. She's always had a great relationship with both of her parents, though her mother is the only one currently alive as her father had died fighting off a Grimm attack. As for the origin of this Grimm attack, no one is sure what had happened to attract them, as it may have been an argument between the fisherman or something completely different...what is known, however, is she found her father dead, near the shore. She's always worn his captain's coat up until the previous school year as a memento and discovered that it was laced with Water Dust during her first days at Beacon-- though has since retired using it. She calls it "a parting gift" from him.

Personality
Marina's personality matches her hair color. Fiery, outspoken, and rather flirty sometimes. She's extremely intelligent and has become her team's de facto strategist because of this. Marina acts like a typical girl, though due to being raised as a fisherman's daughter she has the typical mannerisms that come with that and is very down to earth and brutally honest with those around her. A bold personality with a temper to match, you wouldn't want to get on her bad side. Interestingly enough, Umber and herself used to date during their second year at Beacon together, and even though they've separated since then, the fact that they both hold feelings toward each other still is pretty obvious. She has a serious attachment to her lipstick.

Semblance: Deep Ocean
She has the ability to generate an energy that when inhaled by her opponents make them feel as if they were in the deep ocean, drowning. This comes with an intense internal pressure besides running out of breath. The effect of this lasts until the opponent passes out.
The energy comes out in the form of glowing teal ocean water. Since it's not necessarily tangible, it doesn't create much of a strain when she generates it and can produce effects from a simple watery blast to a giant wave of ocean water swamping the battlefield. The only way to avoid its effects is holding one's breath, but this doesn't last too long usually. She can combine it with Dust to make it have that Dust crystal's effect.

Weapon: Tridens Lorelei
Tridens Lorelei is a CADE (Concussive Axe Dust Emitter). Tridens is Latin for Trident and Lorelei references a mythical siren that would lure sailors to their doom with her song. Marina is a token dust user, similar to Weiss, so this weapon doesn't transform. It's basically an axe that can fire Dust from the crystal embedded in the axe head. She prefers to use Ice Dust for this though she can interchange the crystals to whatever suits the situation.

Fighting Style
Marina can wield her Axe with skill as if it were a simple bo staff. She can fire powerful blasts of fire from it using the crystallized Ice Dust. Besides these simple uses, she can also use it as a conduit to her Aura, letting her channel her semblance through it in powerful icy blasts. The powerful spinning motion can be used to whip up these simple blasts of power into horizontal tornadoes, adding impact to injury...in addition to ripping opponents apart with the razor sharp blades.

Quirks and Trivia
Because of being raised by a fisherman, she tends to eat like a man.
Marina's lipstick color is Coral Blue #2.
