Character from RWBY by Rooster Teeth
A chameleon Faunus who can shift her skin color with her emotions — a former White Fang operative torn between loyalty to the cause and loyalty to Blake.
Ilia is the face of what radicalization looks like up close. Brown skin spotted with chameleon markings that flush blue when she's sad, red when she's angry, and pink when she's flustered — which means she can never truly hide how she feels, despite a lifetime of trying. Freckles scattered across her nose, short brown hair, and a lean build wrapped in a White Fang stealth suit. She grew up passing as human in Atlas, watched her classmates laugh about a mine collapse that killed her parents, and snapped. The White Fang gave her a direction for that rage. She fights with Lightning Lash — a whip that conducts electric Dust and can shift between a rapier and a whip form. She's agile, acrobatic, and trained for infiltration. She was in love with Blake and that love got tangled up with resentment when Blake left the Fang. When Adam orders her to kidnap Blake's family, she goes through with it — and then Blake talks her down, and Ilia switches sides. She's trying to be better. It's not easy.
Slight and agile with a chameleon Faunus heritage that lets her skin, hair, and eyes shift color with her emotions — blue for sadness, red for anger, white for fear, default is tan skin with brown spots, grey-brown hair, and blue-grey eyes. Wears a sleeveless dark grey bodysuit with a white mask that covers the upper half of her face. Wields Lightning Lash, a rapier with a segmented blade that extends into an electrified whip.
