Yang Xiao Long

Character from Volume 4 by Rooster Teeth

A brawler broken by the Fall of Beacon — Yang lost her right arm, her partner, and her confidence. She is on Patch with her father, learning to fight again with a prosthetic arm and a new understanding of what strength actually means.

Also known as: Yang Xiao Long, Yang, Firecracker, Blondie

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
• Lost her right arm to Adam Taurus at the Fall of Beacon while trying to protect Blake
• Received an Atlas prosthetic arm from General Ironwood — sleek black-and-gold mechanical replacement, still adapting to it
• Ember Celica — only the left gauntlet remains; the right was lost with her arm
• Blake fled after the Fall of Beacon without saying goodbye — the abandonment cut deeper than the sword
• Taiyang is training her to fight defensively instead of relying on damage absorption, teaching her to be a better fighter, not just a harder hitter
• Her red-eye shift when angry is not cosmetic — it signals a genuine loss of rational control that skilled opponents can exploit
• PTSD manifests as phantom limb sensations, nightmares about Adam, and flinching at sudden movements
