Personality
Major: Dust Major | Dust Research and Development
Likes:
Books, both attaining and reading them her favorites are fairy tales.  
Small cafes, she likes the atmosphere they have and goes to them to relax when she can.
House cats, they're lithe, graceful, and adorable not to mention the only pets she was allowed to have.
Rice, it's such a versatile food and rather simple to make so she eats a lot of it.
Research, she tends to do it without even thinking and finds it undeniably fun to do.
Dislikes:
Warm weather, she's more used to air condition interiors so sweltering heat doesn't mix well with her.
Spicy food, she has zero in the way of spice tolerance and will break into a coughing fit with even a drop of hot sauce.
Being late, she makes a habit of being exactly on time or earlier so when she runs late it causes her stress.
Laziness, it annoys her when people just sit around doing nothing particularly if she's forced to work with such individuals.
Flowers, really the only reason is because she's allergic and they make her sneeze all the time which isn't pleasant.
Fears:
Arachnophobia, Naia is deathly afraid of spiders and will make anybody else deal with them if needed.
Coulrophobia, blame her father for taking her to a circus when she was still a little to young. Now she gets sick to her stomach and wants to run away whenever she sees a clown.
Atychiphobia, Naia is utterly terrified of being wrong, which happens to be the reason she spends so much time studying and always triple checks her facts. After all she would hate her oversight to get someone hurt.
Talent: Loremaster
Weakness Wilderness Survival
Overall Personality: Polite and reserved Naia was raised to always present herself as a responsible individual who could be trusted to get things done. Due to this she tends to hold herself back quite a bit in social interactions, always speaking in a polite tone and doing her best to always appear refined, or at the very least put together. To most she can come off as rather cold and distant due to how she decides to present herself which can make it slightly harder to get to know others but she honestly doesn't mind. While she isn't shy Naia certainly prefers the company of her latest research paper to other individuals and would trade any social event for a day spent reading about dust philosophy in the local library. Naia is always respectful to anyone she interacts with, rarely calling people by nicknames unless she knows them rather well. While she would appreciate the same courtesy given to her she isn't confrontational so won't bring it up if she isn't.

While not overly social Naia is a decent friend or so she thinks. She's honest which can be a blessing or a curse depending on what you ask, her mother learned this after asking how clothes looked, and more often than  not the answer was not a pleasant one. With that honesty comes unwavering loyalty Naia will stick with the people she cares about through thick and thin, though if she gets into an argument with someone she will certainly never be the first to apologize, even if she was certainly the one who was wrong. Always willing to lend a hand or be a shoulder to cry on when it comes to friends she'll do her best to help which is rather easy for her when it comes to intelligence based things. On the other hand when it comes to comforting someone upset she has a hard time figuring out what to do or say, as she herself hasn't had a lot of experience on either end of the comfort spectrum.

While a little more on the socially awkward side Naia is a loyal person who always does her best. Her best may not always be what someone expects, as she prefers to just be who she is rather than concern herself too much with what other's may think of her. Though this comfort in herself doesn't leech out to anyone else meaning she isn't the type of person to stand up for others. In fact she would prefer to just blend into the background if she truly had a choice, after all conflict isn't her strong suite and she tends to break down when it does happen. Particularly in a mean or exceptionally forceful manner whether she knew it was coming or not.

Overall Naia is a person who has their heart in the right place, or so she'd like to think. But when she chooses to remain silent as other's berate people does that actually make her good? Or, does it make her just as bad as the person doing the berating? It's a thought that crosses her mind more than you would think.

Abilities
Aura type: Recovery
Aura Color: Aquamarine
Semblance: Naia's semblance which she refers to as Dust Manipulation, allows her to add a little extra oomph to the dust she uses. Most often, and seemingly only in an offensive manner. While it doesn't affect the dust itself it allows Naia to manipulate it with more fine tuned control, often times allowing it to have a greater impact on the target. This control is exceptional when her semblance is active allowing Naia to manipulate whatever dust she has in such a way as to make it more effective. Such as centering more in one area, or spreading it out evenly, she gets fine tuned control of this when her semblance is active. Along with this Naia also gains the ability to move it when activated, during the activation, and after the dust is already doing it's thing. Meaning she can make corrections on the fly instead of it just being a one and done. Though these corrections are limited to how quickly she can react in any given situation. Naia's semblance doesn't power the dust up in any way shape or form, it simply allows Naia, and only Naia, to control it to such a degree that it will be more effective in most circumstances. In addition to this Naia is limited to only being able to use her semblance on dust she has physically touched, and activated herself. Meaning if a teammate throws a fireball at someone she will be unable to use it, and any dust aimed at her by another individual is in no harm of being affected by her semblance. So, only dust that has started with, and been activated by Naia herself can be used in conjunction with her semblance. Naia tends to rely heavily on her semblance in a fight, most often when she feels particularly threatened. Which can be just as much of a hindrance as a benefit if she doesn't think out the application and possible ramifications before hand. The telltale sign of her semblance activating is the shimmer of her aura across her skin, it stays in a visible state for as long as Naia keeps her semblance up, when deactivated the telltale sign of her semblance will once again fade.

Item 1: Xenocles is a Tier 1 M1911 pistol. Overall it is a single action, semi-automatic, magazine fed, recoil operated pistol that fires .45 caliber bullets. Appearance wise the metal parts are a solid silver in color while on the grip there are two wooden panels one on either side. In addition on the bottom of the grip a simple silver chain has been attached, this chain will generally be wrapped around Naia's arms when firing or simply holding her weapon, making it slightly less likely for her to drop her weapon. Though that doesn't mean it can't be knocked out of her hand, or yanked hard enough to be taken from her.

Weapon Image:

Item 2: 2x Tier 1 wind dust vials, five uses each. Considering Naia focuses heavily on using dust to fight, and is an avid researcher of the substance it makes sense for her to always have some on her. Most often she will carry it attached to the belt she wears around her waist, for ease of access her belt is studded with a bandoleer type pattern made of a stretchy fabric and meant hold vials of dust, though Naia also uses them to hold spare clips for Xenocles. This does however cut down on the amount of dust she can carry with her at any given time.This bandoleer part goes from roughly the middle of her left side and wraps around to stop an inch or so short from the middle point of her back. It only goes this far so she has ease of access and can her dust with ease even while in the middle of a fight.

Hey welcome to the site! This is a super application, really enjoyed reading it, and I only have one real issue. When it comes to your semblance, because of how it is worded, it does seem like you could use it on anyone's dust rather than just your own so I would recommend adding the likes of "She initiates the semblance by touching an unactivated dust crystal" or the like to prevent that kind of thing ^^ Bump when done!

Hello to you to, and thank you for the welcome. I have added what you suggested to the semblance, but please if it still doesn't get the correct point across let me know.

Yep that'll do! The only last thing is more of a check than an actual problem, I notice in your profile you've put "Above average speed" but your stats only total to average. The total when you subtract offensive stats from defensive needs to be more than two, not two itself. Let me know if that's fine or bump when done ^^

Oops, my bad there. Apparently I misread >2 as 2 itself when going through speed rules, eh-heh. I have redone my stats to sort out the issue, hopefully.

Approved!
