Combat Style: Outline particular combat skills here, along with their attitude in battle. Are they gung-ho? Do they try to protect their teammates at risk of themselves? Do they try to let others do the heavy lifting? For support characters, this is how they handle their role and how they generally treat their team. Do they worry all the time? Are they quick to point out things, even if they're not a threat? Are they relaxed?

All characters may get all status ailments, but this will be the one most likely to impact the character. Keep in mind that a toned down version of the ailment may, at times, linger with the character for a few days after the initial exposure.
Kyra Wilkie
Squad: 12
Squad Position: Leader
Primary Weapon: Rapier
Combat Style: It's a lot like her daily life. She's relentless, but it's planned out. She goes over a battle plan before each adventure into shadow world. She likes every move she performs to be rehearsed and perfected. Of course, sometimes in real life application, it doesn't quite work out so easily. Kyra tries to account for the unplanned by mapping out a very good method of communication between support and the team. She tries to make contingency plans for everyone's susceptibilities, weaknesses, and strengths. She tries to take into account their preferences too, but (maybe unfortunately,) she's not exactly scared to pull rank when she needs to.
On the actual battlefield, Kyra's a Tiny Tank. She takes her leadership role very literally, and jumps in front of her team to face the danger first. She can take and deal a lot of damage. It might not be all at once, but she makes sure their hits always mean something. She's proactive in asking about weaknesses; she tries to make sure every hit she deals will have an affect before she does it. Kyra's methodical, and not a lot can distract her from the task at hand, which is good except for when something the shadow does comes unexpectedly. Even then, she recovers and doesn't let the team see anything faze her. Kyra isn't one for heroics, but she will never retreat, even if she commands everyone else to do so. Maybe that's a snag in her otherwise perfectly crafted logical fighting style, but she doesn't want to think about the consequences of leaving a job undone. She wants to do this well.
Attribute: Stamina
Persona Name:Lauviah, Angel of the Tree of Life
Persona Appearance When Kyra summons her persona, a weeping willow with two faces springs forth. The tree does not move dryad-like, but is stuck in place, the dual faces only sometimes opening their eyes to smile. The movement and magic comes from the tree's hair. On one side, the tree and its face is entirely gilded, gold and sparkling. The entire side of the tree is gold, and drips glitter from its boughs, sprinkling everyone under it with gold dust. It might get into everyone's hair a lot, but it doesn't hold any power by itself. It seems to be constantly blooming. This side is facing the team, usually.
It can switch, usually when Kyra's on the defense and she's nervous. On the other side, there's a sunken skull made of petrified wood. Where there's a tree of life, there has to be death. It's drastically different. The tree, while still stony and beautiful, is dry and fragile-looking. The limbs and branches make crackling sounds as they send magic toward their foes. It seems, though, that with every crackle, the wood becomes more solidified,every attack sinking in to make it stronger.
Affinity: Stone
Weakness: Thunder
Ailment Susceptibility: Forget
