Hero Name: Golden Flare
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance: A little over five feet tall(5' 8), Golden is well-built and thin with a rosy complexion and honey yellow eyes, sometimes flashing gold in the light. Most of the time, she’s seen with her curly, bright red hair tied back in a ponytail with her bangs parted to the sides of her unlined, diamond-shaped face. Contrasting with her overall bold appearance, she has a reserved, quirky smile with thin lips.
When not on duty, she dresses effortlessly with a plain black dress that ends at her knees, a tan leather jacket with yellow shoulders, and black knee-high boots. But in action, her outfit is a suit of white and gold Greek torso armor with gold bracers and greaves, a short red cape stopping at her waist, and a pair of formfitting black pants. Her boots are exchanged for a shorter cloth pair more suited for stealth and easier fitting under the greaves. In all cases she keeps a gold band necklace and black gloves to absorb the shock of bow recoil.
Personality: Confident and self-assured, but a little thoughtless of times when it comes to people, struggling with the act of empathy and sometimes doing things on her own accord without consulting her partners. Being mission-oriented, her focus always remains on achieving the goal with minimal losses. That doesn't mean she cannot work with others, and sometimes even prefers to stay back and simply cover another as they take the lead. She's friendly and reliable, but just tends to be lost without being given some sort of task to complete.
Golden is everything Prophet is not, and vice versa. Careful with her actions and their repercussions, she steps up to take charge when Prophet is incapable of doing so himself, and he helps her become more of a "team player". They balance each other out, but Golden always watches over Prophet with protective earnest.
Powers/Abilities: Golden aura, physical ability, healing factor, and animation of solid substances (stone, ice, crystal, etc.)
Weapons: Although she’s very resourceful with all kinds of weapons, she clearly prefers to switch between her personal sword and her longbow, along with a variety of arrows.
Her sword is called Arget, a long double-edged blade with a crimson hilt and intricate gold patterns along the grip. The guard takes the form of a pair of bird’s wings curving towards the blade, and the pommel is a circular shape with the Ouroboros carved in the middle.
The other weapon is Ferin, a simple longbow crafted by Golden herself. She has multiple quivers filled with a variety of arrows: wood, aluminum, carbon, and several trick arrows as well.
Backstory: Most of Golden's past is a secret. It can be inferred from her tendency to slip into a fairly formal tone of voice that she comes from a wealthy background, and from her focus and skill in battle that she has been trained to fight from a young age. Yet, nobody knows exactly who she is, where she came from, or why she chose to associate herself with the H.0.V.
What is known of her history is that she crossed paths with Flame Prophet by coincidence, rather than being tracked down by him. He had been chasing down a thief, and she was after the same person, who had stolen her bow that she vowed to get back at all cost. The two teamed up to capture the thief and, impressed by their teamwork, Prophet asked her to go with him. Also aware of the advantages of tagging along, Golden accepted, becoming the second Hero of Virtue.
