What They Know

• Semblance is Burn — absorbs kinetic energy from every hit she takes and adds it to her next attack, making her exponentially more dangerous the more damage she sustains
• Ember Celica are dual ranged shot gauntlets that fire explosive shells — they extend from bracelet form to full forearm coverage in combat
• Her mother left when she was a baby — she was raised by her father Taiyang and later by Summer Rose, Ruby's mother
• As a child she nearly got herself and Ruby killed dragging a wagon to an abandoned house searching for clues about her missing mother
• Learned to fight from her father Taiyang, a hand-to-hand specialist who taught at Signal Academy
• Her red-eye shift when angry is not cosmetic — it signals a genuine loss of rational control that skilled opponents can exploit
• Advanced to the Vytal Festival singles bracket — competing at the highest level of student combat
• Her fighting style of deliberately absorbing damage is effective but self-destructive, a weakness a prepared opponent could devastate
